Vows

I took you to be my lawfully wedded wife.
Before witnesses I vowed to love you and care for you
as long as we both shall live.
I took you, with all your faults and strengths,
as I offered myself to you
with all my faults and strengths.
I wanted to help you when you needed help, and
turned to you when I needed help.
I chose you as the person with whom I will spend my life.

I regret that I let you down. I did not mean to.
I take you with all your faults and strengths
As you have taken me with all my faults and strengths.
My tears today show my unconditional love to you,
Forever and a day.
From now until eternity
I will be by your side.
I will always love you.
