its been a long road
i can hardly believe i am here
as i look around
i am nervous
part of me is so scared
but deep inside i know ive always wanted this
we've waited so long for eachother
now here we are

each moment lasts for an eternity
my heart quivers in joy and worry
i stare at the floor
i can feel your hand holding softly to mine
i squeeze tightly, both to grab your attention, and so i can make sure this is not a dream

it seems too perfect
but as i look through my white veil
i see the bright sunlight
and i know

do you take this woman...
i hear a voice in the distance
in sickness and in health...
its happening, i think to myself
in richness and in poorness...
in an instant my mind rushes back to the moment of our first kiss
in sadness and in joy...
we've already had so much sadness and joy, and i am ready to spend the rest of my life sharing more of the same with you
for as long as you both shall live?

i do
