I promise to love you, to always strive to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in bad. When life seems easy and when times become difficult. When our love is simple and when things become complicated.

You are the sweetest, most loving, caring, kind, and protective person I have ever known. And I have no doubt that you make me a better woman.
You believe in me and have shown me how to love with unconditional acceptance and everyday you reaffirm that you are my soul Mate. Together we are an unbreakable pair; Bound by our love.
I'm not sure that a lifetime is long enough for me to return all that you have given me. But I promise to spend my days by your side. To inspire you, laugh with you, cherish you, confirm you, share your dreams, and grow with you.
I believe in what we are and I will always love you with every beat of my heart."
