Megan & Jason

My darling Jason,

Falling in love with you has been the greatest joy of my life. You've opened my eyes to a world more beautiful and full of possibility than I had ever dared to dream. Standing here with you on our wedding day, I am for once at a loss for words, for no words can truly describe the depth of our partnership and the purity of the trust we place in one another, as keepers of shared dreams, deep passions, and gentle hearts.

They say that love begins with a metaphor. For me, it happened four years ago, in that small French café on Thompson Street whose name we can never seem to remember, when ten million stars lit up the sky, and I was struck by the realization that it was you with whom I'd move the world. Some people meet and stay strangers forever, but you were familiar from the start. I didn't know at the time that ours would grow into such a beautiful love, but I knew with great certainty that I'd found the other half of my soul and that we'd build something wonderful together.

As time passes by, that feeling has blossomed into the most special and sacred of bonds I've ever known. Our love is gentle, caring, and true. It knows no fear, no jealousy, no strife. It's a safe haven of truth in the midst of an ever-changing, complicated world. No matter where we are, or how things go, my constant is, and always will be, you.

You, with your kind eyes and innate goodness that brings out the goodness in me. You, with your boundless curiosity and brilliant intellect, who can speak with the same passion and depth of knowledge about capital market dynamics as you can about the fantasy worlds of anime or the nutritional benefits of superfoods. You, with your generosity and understanding, who embraces my personal growth and all its ups and downs with unwavering patience and a guiding hand. You, who believes in the dreams I keep hidden inside of me and helps them become our shared reality. You, whose unconditional love inspires and uplifts me, and fills me with wonder at its infinite possibilities.

Today, as we celebrate the eternal bond of our love, I promise to be the same to you:

• To nurture your dreams as they are my own;
• To cherish your heart as it is my own;
• To protect your ideals as they are my own;
• And to love you in every moment with all of my soul, until the end of time;
• For you are my true north, my soulmate, my home.

Love, Megan
