Our Vows

To those of you who have written your own vows or other emotional words that are meant to be performed in front of an audience, I bow  to you. This is a monumental task for most of us to take on and for such a reason I am proudly posting our vows for your perusal. These words are by no means 100% our own, but they have been infused with personality befitting their orators. Enjoy.

My vows:

I, Alycia, choose you, Matthew, to be my lawfully wedded partner.
Before these witnesses, I vow
to respect, care for, and grow with you,
through bright times and dark times,
as your ally, equal, and confidant,
giving the most that I can, to fulfill our lives together.

I promise to give you the best of me
and to ask of you no more than you can provide.
I promise to value you for who you are
and to realize that your interests, desires and needs
are no less important than my own.
Matthew, I love you because I know no other way than this:
where you do not dwell, I cannot exist.
I promise to love you relentlessly, always and forever.

This is my solemn vow to you.


His vows:

I, Matthew, choose you, Alycia, to be my lawfully wedded partner.
Before these witnesses, I vow
to respect, care for, and grow with you,
through bright times and dark times,
as your ally, equal, and confidant,
giving the most that I can, to fulfill our lives together.

I promise to listen when you speak
and actually stop what I am doing to do so.
I promise to uphold my half of our partnership
in both domestic and international affairs.
I promise to never take life too seriously,
because it should be filled with fun, laughter and curiosity.
I promise to at least try and be more eco-friendly.
I promise also to love, honor and cherish you 
for as long as I have breath.

This is my solemn vow to you.
