I'm such a procrastinator, I've waited until the last minute to start writing my vows. And I'm just so totally clueless as to what I'm supposed to say. I feel like my thoughts are all jumbled at this point.
I wrote a rough draft this morning, but am not really loving it. Let me know what you think!
I never really believed in love at first sight or soul mates, but when I met you all of that changed. When I met you I knew. I knew you were the one I was supposed to be with.
And I’m so overjoyed to be standing up here with you today. I feel truly blessed to be beginning this new journey with you and be able to share the rest of my life with you.
I remember going to a wedding with you and trying to come up with something nice to write in the card. And you, being much more poetic than I, came up with a simple saying “though you will have many homes may the safest place be in each other’s arms.” You, Stefan, are my home. I have never felt so safe and secure. And it doesn’t matter what is happening or where we are. As long as I have you, I’m home.
So thank you, for being my protection, for sticking by my side through the good and bad, for making me laugh every day we are together and for opening up to me and letting me in.
One of the great things about you is your determination. When you believe in something, you won’t back down. So I know, that as long as you keep believing in us, there’s nothing we can’t face. There is no one else I would rather travel through life with.
So today I promise not only to be your wife. I promise to be honest, be faithful and take time each day to let you know how special you are to me. I promise to keep an open mind and be the person you can always feel safe going to. I promise to meet you halfway, when we just can’t seem to agree. And most of all I promise to respect you and support you.
I cannot wait to see where life will take us.
