I thought I would share a few of them here along with something very close to my heart - our vows. Luke and I decided to write our own vows to each other and I'm so glad we did. Hearing what Luke wrote for me was one of my favourite parts of the day! :)
Trying not to cry during Luke's vows! (I did anyways!)
Reading Luke my vows
Luke's vows:
Alyssa,
I never knew I could love someone as much as I love you. You are the most amazing person I have ever met! From he moment I met you, I knew you were special and that I had to pursue you. I've been praying my entire life for God to reveal my true love and He has in you. I love your warm and gentle spirit. I love the way you make me laugh, even if it's because you are teasing me. I even love you when you are angry with me. You are such a beautiful mystery to me and I'm overwhelmingly captivated by you.
In front of God and our friends and family, I vow to love you and pursue you with all my heart. I vow to find new ways every day to express my love for you. I vow to make you laugh and be there for you when you cry. I vow to never take you for granted. I vow to passionately protect and serve you and put your needs above my own. I vow to be the loving and faithful husband you deserve. I'm so honoured to get to spend the rest of my life loving you.
Alyssa's vows:
Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamt of meeting the man of my dreams - my prince. I wanted him to pursue my heart and valiantly fight to win my affection. I stand here today, still that little girl at heart, and in awe of the man that God has chosen for me.
As we embark on what I know will be the most exciting, most challenging, and most beautiful adventure of our lives, I offer to you my heart - my fervent adoration, my truest respect, and all the depths of my soul.
I vow to love you more and more with each passing day. To fill your life with warmth and tenderness in the happiest times and ever more so in the hardest times. And when those hard times come, I will take your hand and walk with you through the valley, ever looking to Christ for our strength. I promise to keep Him at the centre of my life, and of this marriage, so that together we may enjoy life to its full.
I vow to be your friend and confidant - to stand behind the decisions you make and to wholly support you in all that you do. I will respect you for who you are, not who I want you to be.
Luke Kleczynski, you are my answer to prayer. A servant, a leader, a man with the ability to love selflessly and unconditionally - a faithful model of Christ.
These things I commit to you, no matter what lies before us, for now and forever.
First Dance
Forever.
