My Wedding Vows

Photo by: Patrick Cummings

I promise to only make promises that I can keep.

I promise to pickpocket moments with pictures and stories.

I promise we will explore and enjoy life as ignorantly as two children in a beached rowboat.

I promise we will make mistakes and eat them anyway.

I promise we will pursue happiness in open fields and on open highways.

I promise to keep you on your toes like a blistered ballerina.

Poop!

I promise to say inappropriate things.

I promise we will laugh every day, at least once.

I promise we will be dancing every day until the hum of our heart strings eventually fades.

I promise you will be loved every day, even if I forget to say it.

I promise to be as sappy as a maple tree, but as solid as oak.

I promise to make the apartment smell like bacon every now and then.

I promise to hug you hard.

I promise to keep friends with you as well as enjoy solitude with you.

I promise to walk dogs with you and I promise to make babies with you.




I promise to support you like a foundation made of bricks, pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream. I promise you this because you are the yellow porch light at the end of a dark driveway. Because you take my breath away like bicycling downhill. Because to me, you are the moment a kite catches the wind. You are my Ricky Ricardo, my Buster Keaton, my Frank Sinatra.


You are my husband, Scott, my hubs.
And I promise to love you as long as I live.
