I loved my friend Lucy’s wedding vows so much that when I had to plan my own wedding ceremony, I blatantly stole them.

Our anniversary seems to be a good time to revisit, especially since we’re so busy and stressed that we’re basically hanging on by a thread, promising to just be polite to each other until after this month is over.

I take you to be no other than yourself,

Loving what I know of you,

trusting what I don’t yet know.

I promise to express my love for you

in all ways possible

to share in your pleasure and in your pain

and to let you share in my own

I promise to help you and to comfort you,

to trust you and to deserve your trust,

Through all our years,

and in all that life may bring us,

I pledge my life as your partner

To quote from a reading we read during the ceremony, “these vows are our way of saying to each other: ‘You know all those things we’ve promised and hoped and dreamed- well, I meant it all, every word.'”

I meant it all, honey. Every word.

PS: In “Trusting Things You Don’t Yet Know”, I suspect you now know that when I say”We’ll see,” that is code for “Not going to happen”, right? xoxo.
