lillibetFour years ago today, on the third anniversary of our first date, Jason and I stood in front of a crowd of many of the people we love, members of our families and communities, and made some important promises to each other. We promised each other...
...to be your playmate, lover, partner and friend
your greatest ally, your biggest fan and your toughest critic.
I vow to laugh with you in joy,
To be your comfort in sorrow and to turn to you in my need,
To share my life with you, openly and truthfully,
And to grow with you in love.
I take you, with all your strengths and faults,
and I pledge to honor you and tenderly care for you through all our days.
Looking back over these first wonderful years of our marriage, it seems that we're doing a pretty good job, so far. My mom says it gets even better after the first fifty years--it's hard to imagine that much joy, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.
