Between all the button-mashing,
Dice rolling, and card games too,
I never expected to set eyes upon
Someone who destroys newbs like you do.
Many fall before your toon
Claming, 'Cheats! Hacks! No fair!'
Very few know that it's your skill.
You play with unique flair.
I'll never cheat when playing cards,
(Although Munchkin says I may)
My dice will be even sided
And not weighted in any way.
When enemies appear I'll have your back,
Through the thick and through the thin.
I'll buy you that expensive gear,
If it will help you win.
I promise to be faithful love,
I'll join the side you choose.
I'll even play Alliance dear,
Although it means we'll lose.
I'll love you until my cards are dust
And my dice edges are all round.
I'll give these gifts and so much more
For the l33t love that I've found.
Author notes
This isn't my best work, but this was a fun piece to work on. My SO and I are major gamers, so this applies to our lovelife fairly well. 
There's a fair amount of gaming lingo in here, so if you have any questions about terminology, feel free to ask them.

Thanks so much! We haven't gotten married yet, and I think that if I used those vows his parents would have a fit, but it still made him smile anyway. Thanks for the comment and the applause.

I LIKE IT! I am a gamer, mostly rpgs and combat video games, I would have loved my husband to say something like this when we got married! It's really nice that you worked your lifestyles in with your vows, it is very real. -
