My Dearest Christopher:

1.        I promise to respect, admire, and appreciate you for who you are, as well as for the person you wish to become.

2.        I promise to support and protect your freedom; because although our lives are intertwined, your choices are still yours alone. 

3.         I promise to seek a deep understanding of your wishes, your desires, your fears and your dreams.

4.        I promise to always do all I can to make sure your needs are met; not out of obligation, but because it makes me happy to see you happy.

5.        I promise to be there for you when you need me, whenever you need me.

6.         I promise to nurture your goals and ambitions; to support you through misfortune and celebrate your triumphs.

7.         I promise to try my best to keep our lives full of passion.

8.        I promise to remain committed to you even when times get tough, knowing that any challenges we might face, we will conquer them together.

My Dearest Brian:

The day I met you, I knew we would be standing here today.   I have fallen in love with you more and more as we have spent time together.  I woke up 3 years ago and knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I woke up today feeling the same way.  And I have awakened every morning for the last three years knowing I would spend the rest of my life waking up beside you.

From now on and until the day I draw my last breath, I promise:

I will love you unconditionally.

I will never break your heart.

I can always be depended upon to bring you laughter.
