My Vows

Addy, I’m going to try my best to explain to you in words the love I have for you and the promises that I pledge to uphold for the rest of my life as I state them before God and man.

I remember the first day we met like it was yesterday. You had your hair up, and a black Fullerton college shirt on, but what you wore the best that day was your smile. Next to meeting Jesus that was the best day of my life. I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. I heard the Lord speak to me that day as we sat in the Rainforest Café say that not only were you going to be my girlfriend but that you were going to be my wife, but I didn’t want to tell you all that at once and freak you out. On that day you became my better half and I’ve never been better.

We are the perfect pair. We share a sense of humor, a thirst for knowledge, and above all else an undying desire to see Christ made famous in the world. Your desire for more of Him mesmerizes me and this is what I love most about you.

I know that I am difficult to deal with sometimes, and it is because of this that I can’t thank you enough for standing with me in all my endeavors, and promising to continue to stand with me as you take my hand in marriage today. You are the girl of my dreams and I know that God pulled you out of my dreams, formed you better than I could have ever imagined, and then delivered you to me as a gift of His grace. Every day you remind me that His grace for us is beyond measure.

Jesus says that we shouldn’t swear by anything but instead let our yes be yes and our no be no, so now I would like to let you know all the yes’s and no’s that I plan to keep with you.

Yes I will always love you

Yes I will always protect you

Yes I will always be the arms that hold you up

And yes I will always lead you deeper into the arms of God

No I will never leave you

No I will never stop loving you

No I will never give up on us

And no I will never find anyone better than you

I don’t believe that a person is truly made in the image of God until they are united as one with the person God has made for them, and I wouldn’t want to be one with anyone else but you. I love you and I can’t wait for our adventure to continue as husband and wife.
