| "Steve,
I love you, and I am filled with so much joy as I stand before you today. Through
the years, I have come to treasure your friendship and admire your integrity.
You have seen me through many triumphs and even more trials. Most
importantly, you have constantly and gently pointed me towards God through every
situation. On this special day, in the presence of our Heavenly Father, our family,
and our friends, I give myself to you, my love. I
promise to look to you as the head of our home as I have looked to Christ as Head
of the Church. I pledge to love you without reservation, comfort you in every
hardship, encourage you to achieve your goals and dreams, laugh with you and cry
with you, grow with you, be open and honest with you, and cherish you, always." |
| "My
beloved Amy; my princess… Little did I know upon our first meeting that I'd be
standing here with you on the brink of this great adventure. God is funny sometimes,
for when I least expected or deserved it, He embarrassed me with His goodness,
and brought you into my life.
Amy, I love you. And I pledge to be faithful,
through life's dreary downpours and mornings of sunshine. You are my best friend.
Today I give you my honor, support, and promise to guide our household in a way
that glorifies the One who gave you to me. Thank
you for being who you are and for the little things you add to my life. I'm proud
to continue this journey with you." |
