Ed, I choose you for the way your smile lifts my spirit, for the way you support and respect me, and for the way you make me feel about us.
I promise to always be honest and open, to share all my hopes, fears, and dreams.
I promise to keep laughing with you, even when we are laughing at ourselves.
I promise to faithfully care for you with an open heart and with tenderness.
I promise to always accept you as you are because that is who I fell in love with.
I promise to never go to bed angry or let one of us sleep on the couch - because some day we will have a disagreement.
I promise to remind you how great you are and to tell you just how much I love you each and every day, maybe even every hour as we sometimes do today.
I promise to always kiss you good night and goodbye.
I promise to share park benches with you until we can no longer get ourselves to the park.
I promise that we will continue to be the couple that others admire.
I promise to be at your side in sorrow and in joy and to love and cherish you always.
I promise this from my heart and with my soul as I dedicate myself to our marriage, our friendship and our life together.
I give you this ring as a symbol of my promise to always love and respect you.
