Mike's Vows

Of the two years I have know you, I have discovered what a wonderful life really is about. Some people measure happiness by the work they do. Some people measure happiness by the amount of money they have. And some people measure happiness by their popularity.

I have discovered that true happiness is not about having a powerful job, being rich, or knowing a lot of people. Having a dead end job would be ok as long as I have you to come home to. Having a small amount of money would be ok as long as we have a lot of love to support each other. And being with you means always being with my best friend.

True happiness is about you and me, surviving the worst times, enjoying the best times, managing the poor periods, and lavishing in the rich periods. Happiness is about holding your hand, cuddling your body, kissing your lips, loving you intimately, trusting your word, laughing at your jokes, and crying on your shoulder. Happiness is about you loving me, and me loving you.

I promise to love you for the rest of my life. I promise to be faithful to you for the rest of my life. I promise to support you, protect you, and grow old with you. But most importantly, I promise to learn and teach the true happiness in life ... us.

Anna's Vows

From that very first night in the mountains together, I knew that you were that part of my heart that was missing. You are my first true love, and you will be my last and only. I feel more whole and more myself than I have ever felt when I am with you.

For over two years since that night, you have provided me with all the things that I needed deep down inside. You have given me the strength to face things I could not easily face on my own. Without judgment you have allowed me weakness when I needed to just break down and cry. During painful times, be them physical or emotion, you have known just what to do or say to make it all just melt away. You have done so much for me. More than these words or any words can ever describe. But most of all, you have loved and trusted me despite the scars the past has left on your heart.

And so, in return I want to spend the rest of my life filling your heart with all the love, trust and respect that you deserve.

Always know that I will never leave you, even in times of hardship and pain, because we will share all the parts of life, good or bad.

I will provide you with all the things that you will ever need.

I will share with you everything that I am and everything that I feel inside, and you will have me forever.
