Sam's Vows

You won’t think this is practical, but the truth is that I loved you from the moment that I saw you. I remember seeing your sparkly, blue, bloodshot eyes, thinking that you were devastatingly handsome and then….when we spoke…feeling like no one else was in the room.

On our first date, we had a little help from A LOT of rain and since then, I have never wanted to leave your side. The fact that you love me as much, has made this life nothing short of a fairy tale for me.

But, it is not only love. I also have a deep respect for who you are as a person. You are a man of great integrity, intellect, patience and honesty. That is why anyone that knows you, knows why I am honored that you have chosen ME and why I will always be proud to stand next to you in this life.

I want to thank you for giving me a happy life. For laughing with me and being patient with me. For loving my NERDY side and even when I am pretending to be cool. For listening to all of my worries and for letting me feel safe in your arms.

Thank you for showing me new places, opening my mind to new ideas and for inviting me into your family and group of friends. Hopefully, I can learn a thing or two in the kitchen. J

I promise to love you sweetly and to comfort you, to keep laughing together and to make our battles few. To be your best friend and biggest fan AND to bring out the best in you always and for YOU….be the best that I can be.

I feel the need to promise you things like….I promise to get better gas mileage, to stop teaching the dogs to bite and to put a jacket on when YOU are cold. J

But seriously, I promise that whether the days that come are happy or sad, I will always be by your side.

I am anxious about most things in this life, but about this decision, I find great comfort and peace. Because as long as I have you with me, I know that everything will be ok.

AND I am not worried that our love will last, but only that one lifetime will not feel long enough…because I will want more time with you. I love you Mik Branchaud.
