I'd like to use this quote in my vows, but I'm not sure who the true author is.
"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out."When I Google'd the quote I came up with Roy Croft and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Does anyone know who may have said/written it first? Do I even need to mention a name in my vows (if I do, how so)?
While I'm here, if anyone would like to critque, that would be appreciated!
They say opposites attract. That must be true if you and I were brought together! For 3 years, we were only friends and never once would’ve thought we’d be where we are today. But almost 6 years later, here we are, and I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.
Matt, I am so lucky to have you in my life. I never realized how spoiled I am by you until recently when I had to make my own breakfast before work one morning! You may not always be able to shower me with the luxurious treasures of this world, but you spoil me with your love and that’s all I could ever want.
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”
Mostly, you are a big goof ball who loves to tease and play and act like your shoe size rather than your age. But when it comes down to it and I need you the most you are always there. You take care of me when I am sick, even though I probably keep you up half the night with my relentless coughing and sneezing. You comfort me and make me laugh when I am sad, even if you cant completely understand me when I talk and cry at the same time. You share in my successes, no matter how big or small.
Matt, I promise to love, honor and cherish you forever. I promise to always trust in you and support you in all of your endeavors. I vow to you my honesty, patience, loyalty and devotion. I vow to always be your true love.
