Our Wedding Vows

Lori (Jet's) Vow:

Today is only a moment in time, but the vows we make are promises for a lifetime.

On this day, I commit my life and my love into your hands. This love we share is the very flame of God and may no man dare to quench it. Our lives have been changed by this love, as soft as the dawn, as radiant as the sun, as bright as the moon and as beautiful as the promise of the rainbow that ends the storm.
Your love has brought light to the darkest corners of my soul, brought music to the silence of my solitude and laughter through my tears.
I vow to share with you all that I have and all I hold dear. I promise to be here for you, to listen and care, to hold your concerns, values and dreams close to my heart, to share your hurts, tears and failures as if they were my own.
I promise always to respect you, to honour you as an individual and to encourage you to grow, learn and love yourself.
Where you go, I will go; where you die, I will be buried. You are my life, my love, my best friend, my beloved. To you I vow that come what may, through shadow and sunshine, all that I am is yours from this moment on and for eternity.

Tia's Vow:

This day I will marry my best friend, the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, and love.
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 the challenges in my path
It is your partnership that will lead me to the fulfillment 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 sickness
I choose you in joy and sorrow
I will choose you, over all others, every day, for all the days of my life
For hearing my thoughts, understanding my dreams, and being my best friend...
For filling my life with music, and loving me without end... I join my life and my heart with yours.

Ring Vows

As the circle of this ring has no beginning and no end, so is our love, eternal and constant.
