Day 1

I Matthew, take you Jennifer to be my lawfully wedded wife. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I solemnly vow to be your faithful husband in sickness and in health and in joy as well as in sorrow. 

I promise to provide for you, encourage you, fight for you and love you extravagantly; to help you live life to the fullest and to achieve your hearts deepest desires. Today I give myself to you, solely and completely.

I Jennifer take you Matthew to be my lawfully wedded husband. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful wife in sickness and in health and in joy as well as in sorrow. 

I promise to love you, to honour and respect you and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

Today I give you all that I have of myself and my love. I place your love as a seal upon my heart.

When two people love each other, their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids

They put their hand into the others heart, and pass over all the foolish and weak things they see

They draw out into the light all the beautiful belongings the other contains

When two people love each other, they share their joy, multiply their hope

They share their pain, divide the sorrow

They walk alongside each other, as they travel though life

When two people love each other, and hand in hand they vow their love

There is no tighter bond and none can break, or weaken or fray it

When two people love each other, they give all they have to the other, and step out into the beginning of their days

They rest in each others arms, and that love is their home.

(A poem by me, written for our wedding day.)

Your love is sealed upon my heart. Happy Paper anniversary, my love xo 

Will you marry me?

Mr Darcy's proposal

Here's a cute whispered marriage proposal if you're still feeling gooey. (Mine was also a whispered marriage proposal, albiet straight from his mouth to my ear.)

Marriage song

Written in the long summer weeks we were apart before our wedding;

summer days, before and to come

drifting haze, kissed under the sun

time is still, your sweet voice carries

and yet until, you I do marry

I wait and wonder, dream of you

hope and ponder, believe us two

on the promised day, sweet love to be

white dress unrobed and finally

me and you

you and me

bedded love, entwined we’ll be

drifting into the summer haze

hours turning into days

days to weeks, weeks to years
until asleep, we undo our cares

at the beginning of you and me

this is what I see
