Our Wedding Vows

Last update: March 06 2011 10:59pm

Amanda, our wedding planner, told us that 90% of her couples end up writing their vows on the day of their wedding-- and we were no exception! Despite the short time-frame, we are very proud of our special words and know they will anchor our marriage throughout our lives.

We share them here for the world, and also to preserve them for our own sentimentality.
(Once we have a house maybe we'll frame them somewhere too.)

Mark's vows:

Michelle,
When I first met you, we liked to talk about all the dreams that we had.
We wanted to have accomplished careers, we wanted to travel the world, we wanted to start a family.
Over time, I've realized that the adventures in life are not about the destinations but about the journeys to get there.

I promise to hold your hand on every step,
To bandage your wounds at every fall,
To celebrate your every success,
And guide you through times of trouble

I vow to be your rock
As you are mine.
And pull you up; to make you better

After all is done, and all the dust has settled,
You are my companion in life

Michelle's vows:

Mark,
I never knew that I would love someone the way that I love you.
This is the happiest moment of my life knowing that I would spend the rest of it with you.
You are my lover, my soulmate, my best friend, my diamond in the rough.
I cannot imagine living my life without you.
I will love you always.
