Option 5

_bridename_ today I take you as my wife.

To say I love you is not enough.

To try to condense the depth of my feelings into a few words is impossible.

It doesn’t tell of the respect I have for you as an individual, or that I appreciate how tender and caring you are, the joy I find in your laughter, or the tears I hold back for your pain, the strength you give when I need it , or the pleasure I feel in your touch.

But, if to say I love you means all these things, then let me say I love you more each day, and I will do so until my life’s end.
