The last of the poem describes two people finding each other later in life and recognizing that they fit together like puzzle pieces. "...I thought, this woman sees me. And, I thought, oh this man shows up. Ah, ah. This is what love is. Mid-sentence love. Midlife love. Busy, growing-families-all-together love. The let’s-keep-the-conversation-going love. Its just love. Big love. Love that completes sentences. Love that will fill the pages of the rest of our story, Our love story."
Lynda's Vows - My Honey, From the moment we met, there was something different about you. What started as a simple meet and greet dinner became the beginning of the most beautiful chapter of my life. I never could of imagined that the person standing before me on this day would become my best friend, my greatest supporter, and the one who would completely capture my heart. When you went to Costa Rica, and took the time out of your day to send me a note, a song to listen to before bed and a knock knock joke, I knew you were my person I wanted to get to know more of. You came into my life when I least expected it, and somehow you filled spaces in my heart I didn't know were empty. With every conversation, every laugh, and every challenge we've faced together, you have shown me that we have so much love to give each other. Today, I stand before you and promise to love you not only for who you are, but for who we are together. You have a way of bringing out the best in me, and together we have created a love that's whole and unbreakable. I have told you many times, you dig the hole, I'll fill it. You are the missing piece that has completed my heart, the calm in my storms, and the joy in my happiest moments. I promise to stand beside you through every season of life, to celebrate your victories, support your dreams, and hold your hand through every challenge that comes our way. Knock, Knock! Who's there? Aisle. Aisle who? Aisle be yours forever! The promises I make to you: to choose you every day, to love you with patience and kindness, and to never stop appreciating the incredible man that you are. I will laugh with you, grow with you, and build a life filled with love, trust, and endless memories. No matter where life may take us, you will always be my home, my safe place, and my greatest blessing. Today and always, I give you my heart. I love you beyond words, promises, and a lifetime. Knock, Knock. Who's there? Oil. Oil who? Oil love you forever! Ken's Vows - I, Ken, take you, Lynda, to be my wife from this day forward. I promise to have and to hold you, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health. You are my future, and you are my Sunshine. Because you bring so much light, strength, and peace into my life, I promise to be your warmth, your constant support, and your safe place, always. I vow to love and cherish you, living with the genuine joy you've brought back into my heart. I promise to be completely devoted to you as we build our life together. I am so excited to start this lifetime of 'firsts' with you, as 'us,' knowing with total certainty that we will be each other's 'last everything.' As we stand among these beautiful gardens, I thank you for being my future. Just like my unique scavenger hunt proposal last Christmas—look into my baby blues and know this: every clue in my life has ended with me and you together, forever. I see you. I choose you. I love you.
