1. "Until death do us part" is something I take seriously.
I think writing your own vows is so romantic and special. Every single word comes from the heart. It'll be my promise to you for the rest of our lives.When we give our vows before God and our loved ones I am going
2. I will work, and so will you.
Some people think that as soon as you get married and settle down the wife is going to stay home, take care of the babies, cook and clean. Sorry honey that's not me. I am not meant to be cooped up all day. I am also not collecting thousands of dollars in debt from college just to sit at home. A marriage is a team and we will both work to support our team.
3. Dinner won't be on the table when you get home every night.
With the whole me working and you working thing, you should expect to have PB and J some nights or if I'm feeling like putting forth some effort I might be able to throw together a grilled cheese. As much as I would like to be the stereotypical Suzie Homemaker wife, we both know that it won't happen every day. Sometimes you'll have to make a meal for yourself because I'm either a) working or b) lazy.
4. We will have (many) dogs.
I should already apologize for all of the strays I will bring home. No doubt I want at least two dogs at any point in our marriage. I know you love dogs as much as I do, or else I wouldn't be marrying you, so you should be okay with this fact.
5. We will never go to bed angry.
I read in a magazine once that you should never go to bed angry because sleep makes it harder to forget bad thoughts. Our fight that was probably something small will go over into the next day. Who wants two bad days in a row? Let's promise to try and work out every argument or at least try to come to some kind of resolution
6. Every day I will try to make you laugh.
Laughter and fun is an important part of any relationship, so I make it my goal to try to get a real genuine laugh out of you every single day. Some days I may try to be funny and other times I will probably do something stupid that makes you laugh. Either way, I want to see you smile and hear you laugh.
7. You will have a lot of embarrassing stories about me, and I about you.
So like I just said I will probably do something stupid that makes you laugh. This will probably happen a lot because I embarrass myself almost on the daily. I hope you hold on to those embarrassing stories and tell our families because I am going to do the same to you. If it's a competition, I'm already going to win because I've been writing them down since date number one.
8. We will make it a point to visit family as much as possible.
In order to keep our family in the loop with all of the embarrassing stories we have, we need to visit them and visit them often. I know you love and value family and that is one of the hundreds of reasons I love you so much.
9. I will probably be the embarrassing parent.
I WILL be the mom in the stands yelling "GO (insert child's name here)!!! THATS MY BOY!!!" I am so sorry for the embarrassment I will cause you and our future children. I will also be the mom who sings and dances in public. I will also be the mom who drops her kids off at school listening to trap music. I have no shame. It builds character. You will just have to be the normal one because we can't both be embarrassing. It would traumatize the kid.
10. I will disappoint you, and I will fall short, but I will never stop trying to be the best wife to you and mother to our future children.
Through dating and our time being engaged, you know that I'm not perfect. I sometimes let you down. I get angry and jealous and everything in between. No matter what comes at us I promise you that I will be there holding your hand and trying my best to make our marriage and our family the best that it can be. I promise to love you every day even if it is hard. I choose you and I will choose you until my day's end.
