We requested the priest if we could have our own wedding
vows. According to the church admin, Fr Joseph usually requires his couples to
have pre approved wedding vows. But he allowed us to not have ours pre approved
when we promised our vows to be short.
Jen wanted us to make our vows on the spot for a more
heartfelt message. But the thing is, I can’t do it =) I’ll just make a laughing
stock out of myself. So I insisted we write a note so we can fully express our
feelings. In the end, she followed her
heart and I followed my, well… note. In the end I was able to express myself
clearly while she was able to express herself warmly. Here’s our vows:
My vow:
Jen, there are so many things I want to thank
God (for). But first of all, I thank Him, for letting us see each other again
when we applied for a job. Who would’ve thought that the girl sitting across my
desk when I was in Grade 2, would be the girl I’m going to be with for the rest
of my life
Jen I can’t promise a
prosperous life or a comfortable life or an easy life. But I can promise to
take care of you, to love you, and to be with you no matter what challenge this
life brings us.
Now you don’t have to
be afraid of being alone, because I’m going to show the whole world, that I’ts
actually possible to find somebody who can love you forever.
I love you.
Jen’s Vow:
Christian, first I
promise to be in love with you in each and every day of the rest of our lives.
Second, I promise to be your bestfriend through the years. I’m going to be the
happiest for you when you’re happy, and when everybody else fails you, don’t you
worry because I won’t. And lastly, I promise to be a loyal, ever faithful and
supportive wife to you.
I’m gonna be your
greatest fan and that’s gonna be forever.
I love you.
**And if only I knew the note would be photographed that
much, I would have chosen to write down my vows on a more visually impactful
paper =)
