Looking back at the brief years past, it seems we have already experienced a lifetime together:
We have seen vast deserts and grand canyons,
We have visited shining cities and magic kingdoms,
We have dined and danced and laughed and cried...
Always with love and respect between us
But when I look to the years to come, I feel like an explorer reaching the summit of a peak, who sees an unknown expanse of mountains and valleys stretching to the far horizon: What's past is prologue, the journey has only begun.
And during the coming adventure, I make these vows to you:
When we share our thoughts and feelings, I will always listen and seek to understand you. I will speak to you openly and honestly. I will trust you and be worthy of your trust
As we seek knowledge and experience, I will join you and support you as a student of life's mysteries.
As we continue our spiritual journey, I will always walk beside you.
As we nurture our circle of friends, I will always be your friend and do my best to make you happy
As we grow in the love of our families - and of our own new family - I will be your respectful husband.
As we build our home, I will be your partner, sharing the burden and the work. When storms and struggles come, I will stand with you and we will face them together.
You are my soulmate.
You are the completing half of me.
And I desire nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you.
More than four years ago, we discovered a mystical Candle City on a mountain under a star-filled sky...
And we discovered a love unlike any we had ever dared to dream of...
As romantic and magical as Santa Fe
As breathtaking and deep as the Grand Canyon
As diverse and cultural as Manhattan
As peaceful as Jamaica
As we continue this journey, I promise to always walk beside you and with you, to steady you if you stumble, watch over you as you rest and help guide us on our right path through life.
Let's grow old together, falling in love more and more everyday, living for tomorrow by enjoying today...
For as long as we live, you will always be my handsome prince in shining armor and wherever we are together is our castle.
I love you with all my heart.
