Wedding Vows

When Branden and I got married, it was kind of a blur. But our wedding vows were fairly traditional (I think). They might have gone something like this.

"I Branden, take you, Amy to be my wife.
To have and to hold,
in sickness and in health,
for richer or for poorer,
til death do us part"

In retrospect, these vows are incredibly idealistic. Romantic? Yes. Realistic? No.

If I ever figure out the time travel issue, or if Branden and I ever decide to renew our vows, they'll probably be more along these lines.

I, Branden, want to include you, Amy in my daily life.
I promise to love you in times of relaxation and times of stress.
I promise never to question your hair cut decisions and to support any outfit selections you may make.
I promise to take care of you for at least two weeks after the birth of each of our children.
I promise to bathe said children every night, regardless of the hour.
I promise to be your provider and a shoulder to lean on in tough times and times that are just kinda crappy.
I, Branden love you, Amy with all my heart and I will never, ever contemplate leaving.

My vows might sound something like this:

I, Amy, want to include you, Branden in my daily life.
I promise to love you when you're feeling good and when you've contracted the Man Cold.
I promise to support your decision to have facial hair for the rest of your life.
I promise to work on not rolling my eyes when you discuss anything from a previous century.
I promise to learn how to use firearms and support your passion in acquiring as many as you can.
I promise to cook at least four dinners each week and pack your lunch every night.
I, Amy love you, Branden with all my heart and I will never, ever contemplate leaving.

Even though an opportunity was missed six years ago, what's important is that we are still as in love today as that day we nervously stood in front of a judge, holding hands.

Love you honey!
