Today in front of those we love,
and with a blessing from above,
I pledge to you my very best.
My heart, my dreams, and all the rest
of promises life has in store,
I give you this, my love, and more.
I bless the day you came to me.
You give me strength and make me see
that joined together we are strong
with love to last our whole lives long.
And through the trials that may befall
our faith will help withstand them all.
Now and forever, come what may
I'll love you more with every day.
No one will ever make us part
or take your place within my heart.
You are my love and my best friend;
my life's companion till the end.

My husband and I exchanged these vows last August at our wedding. Congratulations to you both. I hope you are as happy as we are.

Well done! This poem has such a great flow to it. My favorite lines are these:

Ah yes, see this is a lighter determination of the title from my own, and yet they say much of the same things, in a way, for in mine I also swear to love to the end, regardless what others say or do!!Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.

What lovely vows you have written here for Jason, I do hope you consider using these in your ceremony. The gift of your pen has exquisitely expressed the deep love you have for your soon to be husband. I had to put that word in there for you.
The rhythm and rhyme are flawless and the imagery created from the soft flow is breathtaking. There won't be a dry eye in the church with these words. You are AMAZING, may God bless your marriage with much love and happiness your whole life through. Best wishes in the contest with this masterpiece and thank you for sharing with all of us. It's golden. Love ya my friend, Joyce
