Lori –

I am here today because I love you and the way you make me feel.  You hold my hand and we rule the world.  You lay in the grass with me and stare at the night sky.  You still open the car door for me, and when we talk I feel like the most important person in the world.  I love you hugs and how they make me feel weak and strong at the same time.  I even love your hawaiian shirt.

As you wife, I will promise to help you believe in your dreams.  I will always listen to and respect you opinion, even when it’s different than mine.  I’ll encourage and comfort you when you are feeling down, because I cannot be happy unless you are.  I will take care of you when you are sick and make you your favorite vegetarian meal.  I promise to never take for granted the perfect gentleman you are or how everyday you give me something to smile about.  I will always be proud to say that you are my husband and I will stay by your side until the end.  My days are brighter because of your love.

Daniel –

Never in my life have I felt like I do now, in awe of your beauty, your laughter, your passion.  This is love, you are love, I love you.

Our relationship has bloomed like a flower in the mid-day sun.  It sings beauty in it’s existence and lures others with it’s sweet fragrance drifting on the wind.  It will not wilt or die or become pungent and unbecoming.  It will always sing beauty.  Always.

Lori, by being here and saying these things, I am promising myself to you forever.  I promise to always love you and put you on a pedastal – because you are better than everyone else.  I will never give up, I will never let go.  I promise to cuddle with you during good times and bad, happy or sad, whether it’s bright and shiny or dark and cloudy, when we’re fresh and clean or down right filthy, Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday – Friday – Saturday – Sunday, whenever, wherever, I’ll have the will and as long as I have arms I’ll have the way.  As much as I change with time, the feelings I have for you, the love for you that bursts from me, could never and will never change.  I love you more than peanut butter.
