Our Vows

“Justin, I have never met a person as loving, as gentle, as affectionate, as compassionate, or as generous as you. You have shown me a kind of love that I didn’t know existed outside of fairy tales… a love that is void of selfishness or of agenda.

And not only have you given this gift of love to me, but you have given it to Winona, Calvin, and Jack. Thank you for loving my family.

You have shown me what real love is and have inspired me to love better and to be better. Thank you for helping me to open my heart.

Dr. Suess, my favorite author :), said that-
When you are in love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams. And my life with you is better than I could have ever dreamed it to be…

So today, I, Rebekah, take you, Justin, as my husband. I promise to love and honor you, to nurture, serve, and support you, and to walk by your side forever, as your best friend and your love.

I promise to be your most loyal ally and your loudest cheerleader, always supporting your dreams.

I will celebrate with you in the good times and comfort you in the bad. You have my heart… from this day forward and for all eternity.”

“Rebekah, it is so easy for me to love you. Its like I breathe air, and I love you. Nothing has ever been so simple for me.

When I hold you in my arms, I am overwhelmed with an incredible peace that can only be compared to what heaven might be like. I will never let go of you. You are the love of my life, my best friend, and my rock. I am honored to become your husband, and I will cherish every second of every minute of every day we have on this earth. I just can’t wait to see what kind of crazy stuff we get ourselves into when we’re old and gray.

In the words of Johnny Cash:

I love you and I always will as long..
as the moon shall rise
as long as the rivers flow
as long as the sun will shine
as long as the grass shall grow.

So today, I, Justin, take you, Rebekah, as my wife. I promise to love and honor you, to nurture, serve, and support you, and to walk by your side forever, as your best friend and your love.

I promise to be your protector and your shelter, always supporting your dreams.

I will celebrate with you in the good times and comfort you in the bad. Everything I am and everything I have is yours… from this day forward and for all eternity.”

The first part of each of our vows were surprises for each other. He did such a beautiful job, I’ll treasure his words always. Pure precious bliss!!
