Tadd, as we stand up here in front of our closest friends and family, I want you to know that nothing in my life has felt more true or real than you. I admire your strength, your sensitivity and most of all your passion for life and for love. More than anyone, you know my weaknesses, my insecurities and yet you have never made me feel judged or inadequate. I take so much comfort and honor in that you whole heartedly love me for who I am and do so without reservation.

Today, Tadd, I join my life to yours. The decision to commit in sharing my life with you is one I make joyfully, easily and with total confidence. I promise to have fun with you, laugh with you, cry with you, protect you and to love you honestly and wholly. I promise to always make sure our relationship is strong, healthy, and fun. I promise to live life to the fullest with you and to put your happiness before mine. I promise to make sure I'm not just hungry, before I yell at you.

With my entire heart, I take you as my husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I vow to be faithful, supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. Taddy, I am so excited and thankful that today I have the honor of becoming your wife. You are my best friend - my love and my light, this moment and for always. I love you and I wouldn't want to grow old with anyone else.
