  I think it's sweet, simple, and heartfelt. I can tell that you two have gone through a lot together, but that it's made you stronger as a couple. I'm not really one for quotes in vows, but if you have your heart set on having it in there, who am I to say no? If you do keep it in there, I'd try to find the source of the quote, partly out of respect for whoever said/wrote it first, partly because a name can make it sound better ("Did you hear the quote from Maya Angelou/Einstein/Beethoven that laurin1227 had in her vows? Wow, she must be really well-read!").
  Also, after the part about the new chapter, you might want to stick an "and" after the comma. But that might be the English major in me being a butthead.

  Thank you for your input... I will find who wrote the quote I do think I like having it in there. I also appreciate the grammar critique that is exactly why I posted it. I believe I understood your suggestion but just to be sure... I just added the AND in bold, is that what you meant?
  
  My Love,
  I stand before you today full of excitement, happiness and most of all love.
  Through our many years together you have given me your compassionate heart, your sweet smile, and the security of your embrace and because of these things I could never live without you in my life. I am eternally grateful that you and I have been so blessed to have such a beautiful little girl with the most amazing spirit, who has taught us so much about our love. If not for her I do not think that we would be the same two people we are today. I promise to live our life inspired by this quote, “Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile, laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live.” Ty you are the one who makes me happy, the one who makes me smile and the one who makes me laugh. I will be the one who loves you as long as I live. I promise to take this life journey with you as your best friend, standing right beside you holding your hand. In times of struggle I will be the one holding your hand but just a little tighter so you always know that I am there. I promise to give you my all because you deserve nothing less. I look forward to this new chapter for our family, <strong><font color="#ff0000">AND</font></strong> I promise to always love you more tomorrow than I did yesterday. Above all else I promise you my heart, my soul and all of me from this day forward and as long as we both shall live.
