Wow I mean can you imagine someone not only saying that but meaning it, it was more
than most could handle as I saw I was not the only one wiping at tears
including my new sister in law but she was ready and stood tall and calm to
state her vows in return, with the same love flowing through her soft southern
accent which was stronger than normal due I think to the emotion of the day.

            “Andy, you are not the only one who has spent hours trying to decide exactly how to
say what you feel though I believe I had a different issue of having too much
to say, but here goes. Every day since I met you I have woken and felt loved
and safe and whole, we have come through possibly the worst trial any humans
can and still I feel your love. I knew from the first day that you were my home
that you had always held my heart and I had merely been searching for it to
complete me once more. I feel it in every breath you take that my heart is
yours and that you are my true soul mate. I could never be without you. So here
today I vow to you that I will love you with every fibre of my being forever in
this life and the rest that we meet in as I know that I will never love another
or be loved so well in return by any other. And I will tell you each day from
now until you are healed just how much love I have for you. Those are my vows
to you in front of all the people I love and any higher beings”

With that before everyone completely broke down they exchanged rings and said
official I do’s before sealing the day with a kiss, chaste and short but full
of the love they felt, so strong that I think we all felt it that day.

And then, as totally cheesy as it sound, in that moment all felt right as we
followed them down the aisle under a rain of confetti and into the house for
cocktails while the garden was to be transformed for food and a party.

Wow I was happy so amazingly and indescribably happy. I think more so than at any
other point in our time together. I would give anything and everything to be able
to go back in time and change the things that had bought us here but I can’t
and amazingly those heinous and terrible events brought me here to a house full
of family both blood and bound and friends and in their presence we had finally
completed a long and painful journey back to each other and a new and different
life that was not the one either of us planned but I’ll be damned if right now
it didn’t seem just perfect.
