Today I marry you

The Bible says that life is but a vapor, that we are here today then gone tomorrow.
As the winds of time have ushered me through each yesterday, I have found today the greatest and most fulfilling breath of fresh air I have ever known.
It's so amazing to me that before the foundations of the earth were laid, God saw this exact moment. You and I together. Right here, right now.

From this day until my last day on earth, I promise to always love you. When sickness threatens you, when life's stress weakens you, When joy eludes you- I will be there- and I will love you no matter what.
I'll give you the love needed to raise a family; the strength needed to defend it; and the passion needed to nurture it.

I'll be the God-fearing husband you can count on; the shoulder you can lean on; and the provider you can rely on. Whether the hand of fortune is upon us or the dark cloud of poverty looms at our door, I will love and cherish you.

You are the sunshine of my life, my love; you are the wind in my sails. You are more to me than my beautiful bride; you are my partner, my buddy, my best friend. What a blessing to be allowed to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

Know that I look forward to spending those precious golden years of our lives together. And when the splendor of your youth has left you, you will be just as beautiful then as you are standing here today.

With all my heart, I forsake all others.
I commit my heart, my life, and my love to you.
              Forever.
