To Have and To Hold
Do you, Tom, take Suzy...
I do, for she is my forever shining star that looks over me from the heavens above.
...to be your lawful wedded wife...
I do, for she is an angel sent to me as a true friend and lover.
...to have...
I do. I know now what I really have.
...to hold...
I do. When you almost lose grip on what you hold dear you promise to never forget to hold tight
...to love...
I do. My love for her is never ending like the ever expanding ripples on a moonlit pond.
...and to cherish...
I do. I'll cherish her like I cherish all God's untamed nature, the giant forests, the vast oceans and the mighty mountains.
...In sickness...
I do: I'll try to take her pain away, if not I'll do anything to help ease it.
...and in health...
I do, for all time, I do, for God has sent that special someone to me and the feelings I have for her cannot be lessened by time. They can only grow stronger each day.
...As long as you both shall live?
I do, and longer, I hope, for I can't imagine a heaven without her.
