"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. The belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. The covenent, which at once binds two souls yet severs prior ties. The celebrat...ion that two will always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest's of the world. And love...will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality, only an announcement to the world for feelings long held. Promises made long ago in the sacred place of our hearts."
Zak, 28 months ago, you changed my life forever. You had already been in it for several years before, but literally 28 months ago to the day, you asked me to spend the rest of my life with you...and I never for a second hesitated my answer. Yes. Of course yes.
16 months ago I stood with you, as two adults making the ultimate decision to spend our lives -for better, for worse. I do. So many people doubted us & the strength of our love...boy were they wrong to doubt us :) 12 months ago today, in front of family and the closest of friends we had the wedding of our dreams & shared our passion and love for the world to see and today my love for you only grows stronger & that will never waiver. You have brought out the best person in me. Living this life has made me in a sense independent but completely dependent on you at the same time. I rely on you for everything. When I have a question, you have the answer. When I have a problem, you know the solution. Anytime I am stressed, sad, or upset about something serious or something silly, you have never judged me, you only calm me down and help me to relax and work through any and everything. You always have a way of making everything all right and when you say, "just trust me on this okay", I know it really will be okay. You have made me strong and have taught me how to be brave. You have loved me unconditionally for everything I am without alteration and I will spend eternity giving myself to you endlessly. You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half and I will love you, until the end of all time. "You see they do something that is very rare in people our age. Actaully it is very rare to see in anybody. They give their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And thats what true love really is. Its not this fairy tale life that never knows pain, but it is two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love."

"Once upon a time there was a Princess who lived in a kingdom far, far away; and in that kingdom there also lived a boy and the Princess loved that boy and, so the two decided to marry."

I'm so glad you gave me the new address :)
ReplyDeleteI really really love the first quote [before you started talking to Zak.] Where is it from? It'd be perfect to have read at my wedding. :)
Happy Anniversary! [even though I'm a little late ;)]
