Do you
know where I am right now? I am fully present, right here, net to a GIANT duck.
In Brockton. Getting married to you. For richer for poorer, in sickness and in
health. I am choosing to tether my bliss to yours because, for some crazy
reason, I love you with all my heart.
Like me,
I know you have choices. You have control over what happens in your life. To
make sure you choose me – choose us – I vow to:
- Pat you when you need it (and sometimes even when you just want it).
- Always have macaroni and cheese in the cupboard and drinks in the fridge.
- Tell you what I need to feel safe and loved.
- And go to social events with you, even if I'm exhausted or afraid.
I PROMISE
to be faithful, to be honest, and to continually err on the side of life (not
work).
You know
I believe that marriage is not happily ever after. Instead it is a commitment
to grow together on our respective life journeys. And I know – I know – that in
between the NCIS reruns and trips to Target, you and I will grow while experiencing
moments of pure joy, deep passion, angry struggle, and, of course, rich
laughter. Oh Jeff Cutler, I am so glad to be on this journey with you.
