Our Vows.

Because it was a civil ceremony, Phil and I were not given the opportunity to say our own vows at city hall. However, we did write our own, which we said to eachother the night before our wedding (this may be why the tears were spared on the REAL day!). Here is an answer to the requests we have received:

Phillip's Vows:

Lindsay, I am completely invested in our love. I am inspired to be at my best in your presence, and you are the most important part of my entire life. You have demonstrated a passion for living that is contagious, and shown me that anything is possible as long as we are together.

I look forward to the rest of our lives knowing that I will always have you by my side. I trust you completely, and love you unconditionally. You are my best friend.

I will be there to celebrate with you when you are happy, to hold you when you are sad, and to listen to you when you are angry. I promise to support you no matter the circumstances.

I love you Lindsay, and this love is forever.


Lindsay's Vows:

Phillip, I love you. You are my big smile on a happy day and my big hug on a sad day. You are my cheerleader when I need encouragement and my inspiration to become a better person. You are the one who allows me to dream and imagine, and the person I am safe to share my feelings with. You are my best friend and in being these things, you are the reason I am able to be my truest self. I feel at home with you.

From this day forward, I promise to accept you the way you are, as you have accepted me the way I am. I promise to live our life as an adventure – learning, growing, and exploring together. I promise to believe in our strength as a couple, as we already know that love can climb mountains and will continue to do so when times are tough. I admire you. I respect you. I trust you. And I will love you – unconditionally and forever.
