Vows
for Our Wedding:
A
Miracle and a Technological Wonder
Joanna, in my heart of hearts, I believe that God brought us together via the Internet and our common interest in Civil War History. Since we have been together, when you came to the U.S. in June 2000, I have pleasantly discovered that we relate in many wonderful ways, including being:
Best friends
Lovers
Colleagues
Teammates
Tour Guide / Curious Traveler
Brother and sister with common spiritual values
Intellectual and emotional equals
Soulmates
Mentor / protégé
Teacher / student
Teacher / Assistant
Fellow programmers and web developers
Fellow computer nerds and Internet Addicts
Every day with you is a precious and wonderful gift from God. I never thought I would find a woman who completed me in so many ways. It is an amazing mystery and a testimony to God’s everlasting Love that we are together. Recognizing that we were brought together and meant to be together, these are my vows to you:
I promise to always
Love you
Cherish you
Be faithful and loyal to you
Listen to you
Communicate with you in a tender and loving way
Encourage you
Build you up
Protect you
Look out for your best interests
Teach you and learn from you too
Serve you
Remain with you and make a wonderful home together with you
Share all that I have with you
Resolve any conflicts and/or misunderstandings in a loving and expedient way to get us back on the track of Marital Bliss
Make you feel like you are part of this great country
Continue being your guide in America
Help you with your new computer career or any other career path you choose
Treat you like the sacred gift from God that you are
Put you first above every other human being on this planet
And furthermore, I promise to do all these things in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer. And as God and these fine friends here are my witness, I will be accountable to God, to you, and to your parents for keeping these vows. And when my time on Earth is complete, I’ll be there on the other side, waiting for you and loving you.
