Wedding Vows
You are not the air that I breathe;
You are the sweet scent that drifts upon it
You are not the sounds that I hear;
You are the music of my life
You are not the food that I need;
You are the nourishment of my soul
You are not my will to survive;
You are my reason for living
It is with you that I experience the wonders of the world
It is with you that I triumph over challenges in my path
It is your partnership that will lead me to the fullfilment of my dreams
It is your friendship that guides me as I grow and learn
It is your patience and wisdom that calms my restless nature
It is through you that I know my true self
I do not take you for granted,
I cherish you
I do not need you,
I choose you
I choose you today in witness of all the people who love us
I choose you tomorrow in the privacy of our hearts
I choose you in strength and weakness
I choose you in health and in sickness
I choose you in joy and in sorrow
I will choose you, over all others, everyday for all the days of my life

You are the sweet scent that drifts upon it
You are not the sounds that I hear;
You are the music of my life
You are not the food that I need;
You are the nourishment of my soul
You are not my will to survive;
You are my reason for living
It is with you that I experience the wonders of the world
It is with you that I triumph over challenges in my path
It is your partnership that will lead me to the fullfilment of my dreams
It is your friendship that guides me as I grow and learn
It is your patience and wisdom that calms my restless nature
It is through you that I know my true self
I do not take you for granted,
I cherish you
I do not need you,
I choose you
I choose you today in witness of all the people who love us
I choose you tomorrow in the privacy of our hearts
I choose you in strength and weakness
I choose you in health and in sickness
I choose you in joy and in sorrow
I will choose you, over all others, everyday for all the days of my life
