KARAKA, NEW ZEALAND LISA + NATHAN
PROVERBS 3:3-4
Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; write them on your heart. If you do this, both God and man will be pleased with you.
So as we look to the future, I promise to be loyal, open and honest with you. I promise to stand by your side through the good times and the hard. I promise to accept that good things take time and I promise to be your lobster, your one partner in life. When in charge of directions, I promise to try and tell you to turn right before we actually pass the road. And I promise to have shared dreams and goals that we work towards together. But most importantly, I promise to love you exactly as you are, each day, for the rest of our days together.
Nathan, I stand here today ready to marry my best friend, my rock and my number one supporter. From the moment we met, you have brought out the best in me, and always found ways to ensure I feel happy, valued and safe. You have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and to follow my dreams. You are a kind, selfless and generous partner who keeps me grounded, picks me up when I have been down - sometimes quite literally - and you have shown me what true love and paternership really is.
Nathan, you truly are my safe place and my greatest adventure. I am so proud of what we have already achieved together, and I can’t wait to live out the rest of our days as husband and wife.
LISA’S VOWS
Lis, you are the love of my life, and I am honoured to become your husband today. Till death do us part. I love you today, tomorrow, and forever...
Lis, before our family and friends today, I lovingly choose you to be my wife. I have never met anyone who brings so much positivity, happiness and energy to the world as you do. Most of the time, even enough energy for the both of us. Your outlook on life inspires me daily. You are the most thoughtful person I know; you always see the best in people and you have taught me there is always a silver lining to any situation.
As we embark on this new chapter together, I promise you honesty, dedication, understanding and unreserved love. Through the best and the worst, the difficult and easy, I promise I will be there for you with whatever life throws our way. I vow to make you smile and laugh, and when I can’t do that myself, I promise I will put re-runs of friends on to help. I promise to push you out of your comfort zone, encourage you to reach your full potential and celebrate each achievement along the way. I promise to love your family as you do mine, and be there for those important family events even when it means I am outnumbered by the females. And finally Lis, I promise to show you daily that I know just how lucky I am to have you as my wife.
