Final Draft- 5 year Wedding Vows

Well here we are, 5 years later, and as I promised we are in Vegas getting married by Elvis.

Our marriage has been a challenging journey. We came together as a couple that was already enduring many things, and over the years our relationship has continued to overcome many obstacles. We have withstood challenges that should have crumpled our relationship and we did so by believing in each other and in our marriage.

I am stubborn as hell and sometimes I push just to see how far I can. But you never waiver, you allow me time and space and provide me with constant support. I have learned a great deal from you, about love, patience, acceptance, and letting go.

I have learned that sometimes, the things you think you need in your life are not really what you need at all. And that if you are careless, those precious moments that make a person’s life worth talking about and remembering, will be missed forever.

As we move forward I promise to try to relax and appreciate our family more, I will continue to grow, I will try to remember that sometimes it does pay to take an extra 5 minutes to enjoy a moment and that dirty dishes are not an earth shattering event.

Today, at this moment, I want to recommit myself to you and our marriage. I cannot wait to see what kind of happiness the rest of our lives together brings. I love you!
