The Love-Fest Continues

DH found some of those files he hid from me! (look at me - instigating) Anyway, in them were our vows. Obviously I used Hub's real name in them though. I had a very difficult time saying them because of the rock lodged firmly in my throat and the pools in my eyes, but I managed. I was quite proud I got through it at all. Hub even got a little teary.

ME (I have no idea why the highlight is here & don't have the patience to dig through the html to figure it out)
Hub, today I take you to be my husband. You complete my life - My love, my greatest supporter, mentor and friend.

From this day on, I will cherish you and encourage your dreams and individuality so that you may continue to shine and grow as you have allowed me to do.

From this day on, I will nurture our marriage and smile with you through anything life throws us. You have given me my greatest strength and my greatest happiness.

All that I am I give to you and all that I have I share with you.

Whatever the future holds, I will love you and stand by you,

As long as we both shall live.

HUB
Barb, today I take you to be my wife

From this day on, through good times & bad, I will live with you, grow old & change with you, & do all that I can to keep our marriage strong & happy, & alive with possibilities.

From this day on, I will cherish you, & look forward with joy at our future peace and happiness, knowing we will walk together, side by side, hand in hand, & heart to heart.

Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth,
Where my life has been dark, you have brought light,
From this day on, I swear to be to you everything you already are to me.

Whatever the future holds, I will love you and stand by you,

As long as we both shall live.

I think we chose wisely, as those words remain true today. I look back at those innocent beginnings and think about how little we really knew of the world and the tests that would come our way. But I'm proud that no matter how naive we were, we knew that we were devoted to one another. We set up the foundation on that day that would bring us to where we are now - still happy, still supportive. Hub is an amazing man with depths of empathy, grace, light and strength that I don't think I could find anywhere else. Thank God he married me.
