brennan's vows are easily one of my favourite quotes from the show, they just melt me every single time.

70. Faded
"When Hodgins and I were buried alive, we each wrote a message to someone we loved, in case our bodies were ever found. Hodgins wrote to Angela, and I wrote to you."
Gripping the piece of paper in hand, she faced him, reading the faded words aloud; the words she'd written to him when she thought she was going to die, the words she'd written beside Hodgins in the back of her car buried several feet below ground, the words she'd written that she never thought she'd get to tell him in person.
"Dear Agent Booth, you are a confusing man. You are irrational and impulsive, superstitious and exasperating. You believe in ghosts, and angels, and maybe even Santa Claus, and because of you, I've started to see the universe differently."
She watched as tears formed at the corners of his eyes, threatening to spill as he smiled at her. She felt her own tears build up and shifted nervously. Speaking in front of people was one thing, openly expressing her love for Booth at something she'd insisted would never happen, in front of all the people they loved, was a whole other story.
"How is it possible that simply looking into your fine face gives me so much joy? Why does it make me so happy that every time I try to sneak a peek at you, you're already looking at me? Like you, it makes no sense, and like you, it feels right."
Getting married to Booth, becoming Booth's wife, felt like the next natural step for them, it felt right to stand beside him, her in a white dress and him in a tux, felt right to vow to spend the rest of their lives together.
"If I ever get out of here, I will find a time and a place to tell you that you make my life messy, and confusing, and unfocused, and irrational, and wonderful."
Her eyes briefly noticed movement, her smile widening as she registered the purple of Christine's dress against Parker's black tux. Wonderful. Her life was wonderful.
"This is that time, this is that place."
