Gary's Vows

Dona,
I promise to be faithful, supportive, and loyal,
And to give you my companionship and love
Throughout all the changes of our life.
I vow to bring you happiness and
I will treasure you as my companion.
I will love you enough
To risk being hurt,
Trust you when I don't understand,
Weep with you in heartache and
Celebrate life with you in joy.
From this day forward I am proud
To be your husband and best friend.

And I hope
You will sometimes still make me
Blueberry buckwheat pancakes
Sometimes for breakfast.
