Like lamplight BY B R I A N T U R N E R One day when you are beside me invite me to speak of the secrets I never knew I wanted to tell you, of the warmth I never knew I owned until you released it by moving close as lamplight seems to glass. Ask me why I came to you with the reverence of one who sees a flower bloom where none has bloomed before By saying what is I will have said what was. Sometimes when you are content ask me what it is that moves me to want to hold you so, so often, and laugh when I tell you the same old indestructible thing. One day when you are where you need no invitation to be I will tell you how you flower like lamplight in me.
Alistair’s Vows You are my ever ything. You came into my life when I least expected it and gave me purpose. You filled the hole that I didn’t even know I had, and have made me complete. Along the way you have made me a better person, but also accepted me for who I am. Life’s challenges are nothing when I have you by my side. I love your strength, your kindness, your humour and your uncompromising attitude towards life. I promise to always be there, right beside you, for what ever life throws at us. I promise to strive to be the man and the husband that you deser ve. I promise to love you, cherish you and tr y to remember to put my dishes in the dishwasher. When I think about our future, it fills me with excitement as I think of all the things we will achieve together. When we have our own family, our kids will be the luckiest on ear th because they will have you for a mother. Life is nothing without purpose, and today I am committing to mine. One to live humbly for, until the end of time.
Georgia’s Vows Alistair, you came into my life when I least expected it. You showered me with love and affection from day 1 and our relationship quickly flourished, it’s come so far and I can’t wait to see where our relationship is yet to go. I love that we can be our authentic selves with each other. No need to pretend or put on an act, we love each other for who we authentically are. I love that you are loyal to the core. You love your family and friends just as fiercely as I love mine. Our families have become each other’s families and today they become connected forever. I love that you want to see the world, a rewarding career, have a home bursting with love and laughter and a family to fill it. And I want all those things as well, with you, my love. I promise to grow and change alongside you. To continue to better myself. To become the best version of ourselves - together. I promise to love you unconditionally, no if ’s no buts just love ever yday for the rest of my life. When things get hard I promise to commit to us and fight for the love that we have and the vows we are making today. I promise to be standing by you, hand in hand, on good days and bad. I will be your rock just as you have been mine so many times before. I, Georgia May Stuchbur y take you, Alistair Graham Van de Water to be my husband and I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and as a sign of my promises.
