EXCHANGE OF VOWS

CICERO:

Until today,Estrellita, the day I married you, that was the best day of my life.

All that I have, all that I am, all that I will ever be, is yours and because of my love
you for. I call you “mommy” because you are my everything. You are my light,
and you’ve shown me more love than I’ve ever known.

The sun smiles on us today as we renew our vows, anyhow can it not, for our
love is stronger than ever, and our hearts beat together as one. I see these vows
not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care
for you and share with you. And most importantly, love you every single day.

You make my joys greater, my sorrows more bearable, and my spirit known. I
promise you nothing less than the rest of my life. This is what I mean when I tell
you I love you every day.

You’re my best friend, confidant, lover, and partner. Together we have created a
safe haven in our marriage from the chaos of the rest of the world, and in you, I
have found comfort, joy, and peace.

You are my inspiration and my soul’s fire. You are the magic of my days. You help
me laugh, and you teach me to love. You provide a safe place for me, unlike I’ve
ever known. You free me to sing my own song. You are more of an amazement to
me, each day I rediscover you. You are my greatest love. Of this we are certain.
You are lodged in my heart. The small key is lost. You must stay there forever.

Your beauty, heart, and mind inspire me to be the best person I can be. I
promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honoring you, being faithful to
you, and sharing my life with you. This is my solemn vow.

You have been my best friend, mentor, confidant, lover, and greatest challenge.
But most importantly, you are the love of my life. You make me happier than I
could ever have imagined and feel more love than I ever thought possible.

You know me better than anyone else in this world, and somehow still you
manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part
of me today that cannot believe that I’m the lucky one who is married to you.

The extent of your beauty is overwhelming, both inside and out. I could not
possibly live without you. I promise to always be there for you and our family,
 and never let you down. I look forward to each and every day of growing old with
you. You are my best friend, and my soulmate, I have loved you since the day I
met you, and I will continue to do so until forever.

ESTRELLITA:

CICERO, I bring myself to you this day to recommit my life to you. You can trust
my love, for it’s real. I promise to be a faithful mate, and to unfailingly share and
support your hopes, dreams, and goals. I vow to be there for you always.I love
you more than words can say. I know you can feel it every day! And the best
thing about it is that I feel all your love in return each and every day. 50 years ago,
we started our forever story…thank you for choosing me to write it with.

Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream. Each day, I look forward to
sharing my life with you, caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you. I
promise today, as I did on our wedding day, to love and cherish you through
whatever life brings us.

I love you. Very simple. Very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever
looked for in another human being. There isn’t another soul on this planet who
has ever made me half the person I am when I’m with you. I am forever changed
because of who you are and what you’ve meant to me.

From the moment our paths crossed, you’ve surprised me, distracted me,
captivated me, and challenged me in ways that no one else ever has. I’ve fallen in
love with your again and again over the years, countless times, without
reservation, and I still can’t believe that each and every day I get to call you my
husband.

When there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where there was darkness,
you have brought light. Our miracle lies in the path we have chosen together. I
entered into this marriage knowing that the true magic of love was following a
path together, hand in hand. Today, let us recommit to the miracle of our
marriage.

Together, we laugh at our jokes. And together, I will always be there for you,
respecting your thoughts and talking with you. Making you laugh when you’re
feeling down. Enjoying our life at its best and worst. Loving you all day from
morning till night. Together at heart, no matter how far apart. These things you
know to be true now, and all our days after.

There are three words that are stronger than I love you. 50 years ago, I stood in
front of you to say ‘I choose you.’ Today, I stand in front of you to remind you
that each and every day I choose you over all others. I choose you to share
happiness with. I choose you to care for. I choose you to have a family with. I
choose you to grow with. I choose you to love forever.
