I recited part of this to my wife as my wedding vows on April 17, 2010.

You my dear are beautiful,

and to be blessed with such beauty

proves that god is indeed the ultimate artist

And i could never become an atheist,

because the fact that you are here,

has me convinced  that angels really do exist.

And God must be a master sculptor

to have cast a masterpiece

as beautiful as you.

And i have a confession,

I have come to believe our love is predestined

you are my true blessing in physical form,

You are my soul mate and I first fell in love with you

 in heaven before you were born.

So when i ask you to marry me

i'll propose to you on bended knee

vowing to love you endlessly

until infinity

and i guarantee you a lifetime of intimacy.

And i'll cherish each second that we spend together

reverently, cuz evidently

you were heaven sent to me

And when i propose to you i wont seek permission from

your biological father,

instead i'll ask God for permission to marry his

earthly daughter.

Because you are an angel and its remarkable

how your eyes sparkle so.

Your natural hair radiates a glow

similar to a halo.

And i can envision you dressed in a long white gown,

walking down the wedding aisle,

I hear Luther Vandross song playing in the background

singing Here and Now.

And i can see myself wiping away your tears

as i recite my wedding vows.

And i'll cherish each night that we lay together,

hoping that God allows us to grow old and grey together.

At night we'll kneel down on our knees

Because we both believe that

the family that prays together, stays together.

And we'll never ever mention the unholy word divorce

and in time we'll both come to realize that intimacy

is more important than sexual intercourse.

Because i'm attracted to you most,

when you are not naked

and the times i get to hold you close

i consider sacred.

and when times get hard

we'll both call on God

because you and me are gonna make it

For richer or for poorer

for better or for worse

in sickness and in health

i'll be your nurse.

And for those times when i don't have money

i'll pick you a bouquet from the yard.

and on our anniversary date i'll

write you a personalized I LOVE YOU card.

When people ask me what i intend to do with my life

i tell them that i intend to spend every second that i live

cherishing you as my wife.

Not with words but with actions,

because true love is a verb.

And i'll give you a diamond ring as a symbol of my love

but when you wanna feel the true depth of my love,

don't stare at the ring.

instead stare into my eyes which is the windows to my soul

and you will realize that you are my other half that makes me whole.

When you fall i will catch you.

when you cry i  will comfort you in times of despondency

I just want to be the husband who is always there

and you can always depend on me.

And i only pray to god that i die before you

because i would not want to live a day on this earth without you.

the thought of life without you is too horrible to bear

thats my worst fear.

i would not be able to cope if i could not hear your laughter.

each day i would hope for death so i can join you in the hereafter.

Because to be reunited with you is all that would matter

I mean, what would i do if i could no longer hug you?

but if some unforseen circumstance would ever take you away

i would have to face my fears & wipe away my tears

and cherish the years

i spent with you

I would fall my knees and raise my fists

and ask god why did he take you from me.

but i can never become an atheist,

because the fact that you are here

has me convinced that angels really do exist.

I cherish you.

I love you

FOR LIFE.
