I want you to know, that you've made my life what it is and that I wouldn't change a thing.
Marriage is a commitment to life -
to the best that two people can find
and bring out in each other.
It offers opportunities for sharing and growth
that no other human relationship can equal,
a joining that is promised for a lifetime.
Within the circle of its love,
marriage encompasses all of life's most
important relationships.
A wife and a husband are each other's
best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener,
and critic. There may come times when
one partner is heartbroken or ailing, and the
love of the other
may resemble the tender caring of
a parent for a child.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet
of life. Happiness is fuller; memories are
fresher; commitment is stronger; even anger
is felt more strongly, and
passes away more quickly.
Marriage understands and forgives the
mistakes life is unable to avoid.It encourages
and nurtures new life, new experiences,
and new ways of expressing love through
the seasons of life.
When two people pledge to love and care
for each other in marriage
they create a spirit unique to themselves,
which binds them closer than any spoken
or written words.
Marriage is a promise, a potential,
made in the hearts of two people who love,
which takes a lifetime to fulfill.
- Edmund O'Neill
When we stood facing each other, 15 years ago today, and said, "I do", I had
no idea how truly blessed our lives would be. I couldn't have done it without you.
I am truly happy. I know we will continue to grow and change. I can't wait to see how
things turn out. I know it will get even better. I love you.
