I stared at Keith as I walked down the aisle. He looked so handsome in his tux. I smiled at Anthony when he whispered that I looked beautiful. I finally reached Keith and after I handed my bouquet to Amy, Keith took my hands in his. He mouthed I love you and I did the same.
"Who brings this woman to marry this man?"
"I do," Anthony said.
The preacher nodded. "Friends and family we are gathered here today for a most joyous occasion to join Keith Sheppard and Amanda Andrews in holy matrimony. If there is anyone here who has a reason why these two should not be wed speak now or forever hold your peace."
There was complete silence.
"You are now taking into your care and keeping the happiness of the one person in the entire world whom you love the most. You are adding to your life not only the affection of each other, but also the companionship and blessing of a deep trust as well. You are agreeing to share strength, responsibilities and to share love. The bride and groom shall now recite their own vows."
Keith cleared his throat: "Amanda, words cannot express how much I love you. Our love is so strong and so deep I know it will last. I love everything about you. I can't live without you and I need you like I need air to breathe. You are my everything and I couldn't ask for more. I trust you with my life. I will spend the rest of my life loving, cherishing and protecting you. With you by my side I can do anything and it is your love that keeps me going when I think I can't. Through the good times and the bad I will be there loving you with all my heart. I don't know what I did to deserve you but I'm the luckiest man alive to have your love and be your husband. You bring out the best in me and I'm a better man because of you. You are so beautiful my love and my soul mate."
A few tears fell down my face and then I took a deep breath: "Keith, I love you with all my heart. Our love grows stronger every day and every day with you is a day I cherish. You mean everything to me and whenever I need you, you are there. You know what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking and you know me better than anyone else. I am who I want to be with you. I will always be there for you and I will spend the rest of my life loving you and making you as happy as you make me. I know we belong together and you are my soul mate. I know that with what we do things will not be easy, but together we will overcome anything thrown our way because our love is meant to last forever. You are my best friend, lover, and soon my husband. I couldn't ask for anything more."
