“I promise to encourage your compassion,
Because that is what makes you unique and wonderful.
I promise to nurture your dreams,
Because through them your soul shines.
I promise to help shoulder our challenges,
For there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together.
I promise to be your partner in all things,
Not possessing you, but working with you as a part of the whole.
Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust,
For one lifetime with you could never be enough.
This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things.”

“Since I was 17 there has never been a doubt in my mind that one day I will make you my wife, and today here we stand.
Over the past six years we have grown together and learnt a lot about each other and I look forward to spending the rest of my life learning a lot more with you.
I promise to always be there for you, support you, to always make your life fun and never boring, to show you love, to tell you everyday just how beautiful you are.
I love you so much it is hard to put into words.
When I hold you, it is not tight enough. When I kiss you, it is not passionate enough.
Even my most passionate kisses don’t come close to show you how much you mean to me.”

“You have made me feel more
loved than I ever thought possible.
Today, I give you all that I am, and all that I have.
Just as I give you my hand to
hold today, I give you my heart, my faith, my life.
I choose you today.
And I would choose you again tomorrow.
I would go on choosing you the day
after, and every day for the rest of our lives.
You are my once-in-a-lifetime.
I love you and I too will
always carry you in my heart.”

moments and challenging ones.

“You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant, and my greatest challenge.
But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible….
You have made me a better person as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life.
So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together.”

“There is no emotion for what I feel today – and every day – about you. I can’t imagine my life without you.
I can’t imagine a New Year’s Eve where you aren’t there to kiss me at midnight
or a sunny weekend where we don’t go on some big adventure or any point in time where you and I aren’t arguing about whether the details in one of my stories are exaggerated.
I don’t want to. All I want is what we already have: true love.
So I’m not going to ask you to make any promises,
and I won’t make any either.
I’m just going to say that I love you, will always love you,
and that you are the only person I’ll ever love this much.”
-from Jamie to Dixon
