Mik's Vows

Believe it or not, I am not the most effusive person when it comes to expressing my emotions. Consequently, I know I have not taken all the opportunities I should have to tell you just how much I love you and what it is about you that made me want to spend my life with you. I thought I would try to make up for making you guess my feelings (which by the way you are very good at). So, here are Ten Things I Like about You:

1 – Every relationship begins with attraction and my first sight of you convinced me I wanted to see much more of you, for I believed then and now that you are beautiful

2 – For our first date, and for many since, we spent the evening in easy conversation. You are someone that I easily warm too and feel comfortable in your company

3 – Another thing I discovered that evening four years ago and have loved ever since is your sharp wit. You appreciate the irony of the people and events around you and fill my life with laughter

4 – You know what is cool, sometimes before everyone else realizes it. This will help me shop for clothes, listen to good music, and generally not be a nerd as I grow older

5 – One of these days, we will be living the sweet life from marketing one of your many brilliant and creative ideas. While I play devil’s advocate, it is only to hone your skill as each plan is better than the last.

6 – You share my love of travel which will give us opportunities to explore cultures and geography, taste the exquisite, and share many memories. Our Christmas gift recipients should be pretty excited too…

7 – I know I have found someone with the complete package as you are also very intelligent. I know this from you wit, your insight, and your success at all that you attempt

8 – While you appreciate where we are in life, I love your drive to learn, to travel, to advance in your career, and to experience more. I vow to support you in these endeavors and hope that while you succeed, there will always be more to aspire towards

9 – I love and appreciate that you have chosen to spend your life with me, that you express your love for me verbally and in action, always aware of me and tending to me

10 – Lastly, Sam, you are inherently a good person, honest and true to yourself and the people around you. I admire and respect you and cannot think of a path more noble than to accompany you on this meandering adventure through marriage and life, my best friend, my constant companion, my wife.

I love you Sam.

Mik you are smooth. I also think you are smart. Your correct, Samantha has been given all of our family teachings and love. She has an obligation to pass it on. I'm very happy she met you. As you and I were waiting for the Wedding to begin I told you why. I respect you as a man. I am proud of her and you. Listen to each other. Love each other and never worry. As long as you stay together, everything is possible. I love you, Mik and Sam, dad.

P.S. Mik if you need anything just call.
