So as the title suggests these were the vows that me and my hubby read to each other Thursday.
(:

Kevin :



When I say I love you, I'm not just making you my wife, I'm making you my best friend, my last dance, my only hope, and my forever-lover.



When I say I love you, I'm not just expressing a feeling, I'm solidifying a commitment; planning on taking my whole life to show it to you.



When I say I love you, I'm not claiming to have all the answers, but I'm hoping that together we can ask all the right questions.



When I say I love you, I'm not just repeating 'til death do us part, I'm saying I'll be with you forever - in this life and the life to come.



When I say I love you, I'm not just voicing mere words, I'm telling you that I've been surprised, challenged, shocked, and humbled--realizing that soul mates really do exist.



When I say I love you, I'm not just giving you human love, but I'm attempting to pour out God's unconditional, sacrificial love; dying to self in hopes that I can better honor and serve you.



Tori, you're the woman of my dreams, an undeserved blessing, and a gift from God. To much of the world my life will be closed, but to you I open my heart. I don't know what the future holds, but I know that I don't have one without you.



So, just know that when I say I love you, I love you!





Me:



When I say I love you, I'm not just making you my husband, I'm making you my strong-hold, the family leader, my heart's protector, and my good night kiss.



When I say I love you, I'm not just standing before family and friends, I'm kneeling before Christ our Savior and praying that His grace will knit our lives together.



When I say I love you, I'm not just adding your last name, I'm subtracting our loneliness, dividing our sorrows, and multiplying our joy so that two may become one.



When I say I love you, I'm not just asking you to make me whole; I'm asking you to stay focused on God, then together with His strength and will, we will be made holy.



When I say I love you, I'm not expecting happily ever after, I'm preparing to walk through the mountains and the valleys, swim through the joys and the sorrows, battle the good times and the bad so together we can make a life.



When I say I love you, I don't want big houses or fancy cars, I just want to live in your arms and touch your heart so we can dream bigger dreams than we could separately.



Kevin, you are the man of my dreams, a real-life knight in shining armor, and I've never had such peace as I have with you. I'm never closer to God than I am when I'm with you. I know I'm not perfect, but I know that we fit perfectly together.



Just know that when I say I love you, I love you!
