I also wrote the "I do" section with Sean's input.
his:
1. Sean do you promise to kill spiders for Nichol even if you believe they are super tiny and not scary at all?
2. Do you promise not to get angry when Nichol cuddles up to you with ice cold feet and hands for warmth?
3. Do you promise to let Nichol reign you in when you want more speakers and stereos because you probably have enough speakers and stereos for now?
4. Do you promise to share Nichol's love of the beauty of nature and indulge in it with her as often as is possible?
5. Do you promise to explore the world and have as many adventures as possible in your lifetime together?
6. Do you promise to always talk to Nichol when something is bothering you and not to let stubbornness or pride get in the way of your connection?
7. Do you promise to give Nichol the benefit of the doubt when she says something offensive and to trust in the great respect and love she has for you?
hers:
1. Nichol do you promise to watch races with Sean and at least pretend to show interest in horsepower, engines, team orders and team changes?
2. Do you promise to let Sean reign you in at the shoe store because you probably have enough shoes for a lifetime?
3. Do you promise to support Sean's need to go play poker and be one of the guys on the occasional Friday night?
4. Do you promise to indulge in Sean's need to lay around in bed and try to learn the joy in taking a break from the world on the occasional weekend?
5. Do you promise to spoil Sean in the little ways he loves like back rubs, snuggles and kisses as often as possible?
6. Do you promise to always talk to Sean when you are struggling, hurt, or angry and to trust in his patience and love?
7. Do you promise to always try for more courage in scary situations and to trust in Sean to always keep you safe?
Addressed to both
Do you both promise to be supportive of each other as individuals, never trying to change the other; to support and encourage and give all that you've got to give to make each other's dreams come true? Do you promise to choose one another every day, over and over, in good times and in bad?
In unison : We do (and pinky swear)
I also wrote the ring exchange portion
Exchange of rings:
Repeat After Officient:
(Nichol, Sean) With this ring, I take you to be my (husband/wife),
the love of my life, my constant friend, my partner-in-crime,
my fiercest ally, my home wherever we may be,
my warmth in the cold, my light in the darkness, and my love from this day and all days forward.
