When I said "I Do"

As I wrote my wedding vows, I let my heart guide my pen.  I wanted to stress that this union was the one the past 29 years had prepared me for.  Through sunny skies and gloomy days we would walk through all of them, together.  His handwritten vows were a mirror to mine. 

As we spoke those words, there was no way to predict that within a year we would deal with sickness, pain, and loss.  We rode out those stormy days by leaning on each other and keeping our eyes on the horizon that glows bright.  Our vows were more than words recited at our wedding, they are our way of life.

This song could not have said it better;

"When I Said I Do"

These times are troubled and these times are good
And they're always gonna be, they rise and they fall
We take 'em all the way that we should
Together you and me forsaking them all
Deep in the night and by the light of day
It always looks the same, true love always does

And here by your side, or a million miles away
Nothin's ever gonna change the way that I feel,
The way it is, is the way that it was

When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind when I said I do

Well this old world keeps changin', and the world stays the same
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
Only you and I can undo all that we became
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man

And after everything that comes and goes around
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
I know there's a lonely heart in every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means

When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind when I said I do
Truer than true, you know that I'll always be there for you
That's what I had in mind, that's what I had in mind,
When I said I do
