I, Julia Esther, take you Christopher Lee, to be my wedded husband.
To have always and to hold tightly, from this day for all eternity;
- through house remodels and home improvement store shopping,
- through two miscarriages and through four healthy births,
- through parenting success and homeschool failures,
- through family blessings and ministry hurts,
- through volatile grain markets and crop hail damage,
- through toddlers and teenagers,
- through cross-country road trips and big moves,
- through gallbladder attacks, hormones and aging joints,
- through each stage of life that seem to spiral more quickly,
to love deeply and cherish every moment even though it is not easy or convenient…until death parts us.
I pledge to you my continued intentional faithfulness.
Amen!
