"To my soon to be husband:
My one and only love. My first, my last. My everything.
I take you, with all your faults and strengths, as I offer myself to you with all my faults and strengths. I will help you when you need help, and turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life.
I vow to be loyal and faithful in good times and bad times. To cheer you up when you are sick or sad. I promise to listen when you want to have a serious talk. To be affectionate and caring. But, above all, I strive to be the best person I can possibly be for you and our future children, who I certainly hope take after you and your kind soul. I promise all these things to you now, and forever.
It’s because of you that I know how to love and to be loved and for that I am eternally grateful. I love you with my entire mind, heart and body ‘till death do us part."

I did want to add more personal info in the vows like how he made me feel when he first said I love you or what a crazy ride it's been to get to this point but I'm thinking I will save that for the note I give him before the wedding. What do you think? I timed it to be a minute. Is that too short?
I CANNOT look like those pictures on the actual wedding day. I hope to recite these vows enough so that doesn't happen although I do want to express true emotions and not sound like a robot...
** p.s. wine may or may not have had an affect on these pictures
I already know I will be crying (I usually don't hard- a couple tears). I just plan not to wipe my face so my make-up may get ruined lol
