Kazi and Jase’s vows had me crying such happy tears.
“Kazi of Brightmist… you are the love I didn’t know I needed.
You are the hand pulling me through the wilderness,
You make me stronger, smarter, wiser.
You are the compass that makes me a better man.
With you by my side, no challenge will be too great.
I vow to honour you, Kazi, and do all that I can to be worthy of your love.
I will never stumble in my devotion to you, and I vow to keep you safe always.
My family is now your family, and your family, mine.
You have not stolen my heart, but I give it freely,
And in the presence of these witnesses, I take you to be my wife.”
“I love you, Jase Ballenger, and I will for all of my days.
You have brought me fullness where there was only hunger,
You have given me a universe of stars and stories,
Where there was emptiness.
You’ve unlocked a part of me I was afraid to believe in,
And made the magic of wish stalks come true.
I vow to care for you, to protect you and everything that is yours.
Your home is now my home, your family, my family.
I will stand by you as a partner in all things.
With you by my side, I will never lack for joy.
I know life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes loss,
But whatever paths we go down, I want every step to be with you.
I want to grow old with you, Jase.
Every one of my tomorrows is yours,
And in the presence of these witnesses,
I take you to be my husband.”
