Our Wedding Vows 11/06/2010

Jasmine’s Vows
Sweet beautiful Jeffery
You are my best friend.
When you smile, my heart feels lighter
When you laugh, my breath is deeper
I believe we will grow old together
That we will spend holidays as a family
And watch our grandchildren being born.

I have this image of us
All grey and wrinkly.
Me tending to the tomatoes
You cleaning the patio.
And that’s why I choose us.

I have seen you at your worst
I have seen you at your best
I have tended to your wounds
And you have tended to mine.
I love you and that’s more important to me than our address, bank account balance, the number we see on the scale or the jobs we hold.

I choose us.

I am a better person because of you
And nothing’s ever felt more real.
I know we can both go on with our lives alone
And we’d be fine,
But I have seen what we can be together
And I choose us.

With all my heart and all my soul love,
I choose us.



Jeff’s Vows
Jasmine,
During the time we have been together,
Your love has given me a clarity that has brought us to the alter today.
Because of that I want to share these vows with you.

The rest of our days will be spent together.
Lonely will only be a word in the dictionary.
After a hard day I will provide a soft place to fall.
I will defend you when you need defending.
I will be your best friend.
I will love you unconditionally, forever.

I promise I will try to make you laugh every day.
And on your worst day I will be there.
I love you.
