The last weeks have been strenuous, aggravating.
We've laid awake countless nights,
wondering what this moment would be like,
and praying that it would be perfect.
I've come to realize that no matter how much you plan,
there's always something that's gonna be wrong,
but that's also what makes life exciting.
And I don't want my life with you to ever be perfect,
because some of my favorite times are the times
that don't go so well.
They're the memories that we look back on.
This year, on my birthday,
you worked so hard to make me my favorite dessert
and to bring it to the restaurant,
only to find out the restaurant had burnt your cobbler
to a crisp, but you made 'em scrape the charcoal off the top
and stick some birthday candles in it, and bring it out.
So, now, here are my vows.
I had to say that so it would make a little more sense.
I vow to you that no matter what,
no matter how messed up things get,
I will always be your birthday candles.
I promise
I'll get there, I'll get there.
I promise to go through this crazy life with you,
always by your side, and always holding your hand.

I had prayed to God every night
that he would find the perfect man to not only love me,
but to love my little girl,
and he has more than answered my prayer.
You have shown me what true love is,
not just by how you love me,
but how I see the endless,
playful love you have for Brielle.
I love my Daddy.
He loves you too.
I promise to not only be your wife,
but to be your best friend.
I will promise to try to chew my food quietly,
and not by your ear,
because I know it drives you nuts.

It may not have been immediate to you
but I knew that I loved you right from the start.
I was scared of how strong my emotions were,
and insecure about my ability
to be a good father for Brielle.
Thank you for choosing me to be your wife.
Thank you for accepting Brielle into your life,
and loving her as your own.
I couldn't dream of a better father for my children,
and I'm so excited to grow our family.

When I got to know more about you
I couldn't believe all that you had been through
and how well you had handled all of it.
The best decision I ever made was to
follow my emotions back to you.
When your father hands you off to me
and I look teary-eyed into your beautiful, brown eyes,
I hope you know how serious I am
about the commitment we are making to one another.

Love you, I'll take good care of her.
I know you will.
Brielle, can I tell you something?
I promise to always hold your hand
and skip with you down the street,
and bring comfort to your life.
I vow you make you say your prayers before you eat.
I promise to read you stories at night,
to always tuck you in real tight.
I vow to show you
how a man should treat a woman
in my relationship with your mother.
And above all else, I vow to protect you, care for you,
and love you forever.

I promise to dream with you, celebrate with you,
and walk beside you on this journey we're about to begin,
good times or bad.
And I promise to love you until my heart stops.
Brian, I love you, I respect you
and I adore the man you are.
I vow that our lives together will be filled
with countless perfect moments,
intertwined in a sea of chaos.
I vow to strengthen our relationship with God together.
And I promise my heart to you, I pledge my body to you,
I swear these words to you, and I vow to grow old with you.
