I have always wanted to write my own vows, as confronting as that is, I like the idea that the words I say would be tailored to our personal relationship!Here are my vows to Josh:

I couldn’t be happier. I am delighted to be marring you today and vowing to love you forever."5 years ago, after you asked me to dinner and you split the bill, we became just friends and you became known as Spilt the Bill Josh. And today, as if someone has pressed fast forward on our lives, we stand here pledging our futures to each other.
  • I want nothing more than to be a wonderful wife to you, to be loyal and someone you trust and confide in. 
  • I promise to always be there for you, to take care of you, to be your lover and best friend.
  •  I promise to match every chick flick with a guy movie, every superfood with a bad carb and every tear with laughter. 
  • When we create a family, I vow to be the best mum I can be. 
  •  I promise to trust you, to appreciate you and to honour you at all costs.

If you promise to share this life with me, then I promise to make it as exciting and happy, spontaneous and passionate as it can be, taking ever breath I have to strive for your happiness. And you and I know better than anyone that there will be all sorts of valleys and roadblocks during that journey, but I promise to never quit, and to love you more and more in those moments.I, Brittany, give you this ring as a promise and symbol of my heart and faithfulness, my love and commitment to you. When I am angry, I will seek to be kind, when we speak I will be truthful and each day of my life, I will be faithful to you." 

I keep these words around so I can read over them from time to time, although at times I fail, it's my lifes mission to uphold these words! x
