Hanna’s vows
Blake, my bebwa, my squeeno, and my bubba. I remember our first date at my local pub in Wellington. I had my head down, walking briskly towards the entrance when I hear this loud voice yell “Hanna!”. It was you running across the road to greet me. There we stood under the streetlights face to face, after weeks of chatting over Tinder. We then went into the pub and got down to business. The conversation kept flowing and, in this moment, I knew there was promise.
After this first date, we spent months travelling all over the North Island to spend time with each other. I believe one of the only occasions you have brought me flowers is because quote “You just looked really sad when I said goodbye last Sunday, and you hurt your leg at Netball”. The turning point in our relationship was when you landed your dream position managing the family farm in Okaiawa. On that very first date you made it clear that your end goal is to move back home. Your honesty is what drew me in from the beginning. Fast forward four years and here we are living together on the farm with our fur babies Ted and Moo. I love our little life we have already established together. We have made many memories already including going over to Europe for our wonderful holiday. Everyone saw this as our test, and we passed with flying colours. We made it back to New Zealand alive and still happily engaged!
Blake, you never fail to make me laugh. Your impersonations and weird animal sounds are some classic moments where I have been in absolute stitches. Occasionally I catch myself gazing at you and your charming smile and think how did I get so lucky? I vow the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share in the silence when they are not. I will dream with you, go on adventures with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. I hope we will always find strength in each other and go back to the deep love we share. Blake, I love you.
Blake’s vows
I promise to love you through difficult and easy times.
To keep my arms open for you and to grow as old as I can with you.
I promise to make you giggle when you’re working out so you can’t finish your set and I will always be available to give you advice on problems you just wanted me to listen to.
I will always come up with new reasons to get out of giving you a back rub but I promise to continue to cuddle you every night.
I will cherish the fur family we already have together, and I can’t wait to cherish whatever our future brings us.
I will always love you and I’m so proud to call you the love of my life.
