Come what may - warning VERY sappy

For my Valentine:

With this ring I thee wed.

It is my symbol to remind me of what I pledged to you almost 10 years ago. I wed you. I married you. I joined my life with yours. Our lives, though separate, are joined into a covenant in which we promised to be present to each other, and with each other. I would wed you all over again.

With my body I thee worship.

My body, such as it is, belongs to you. Not in an icky "I am your property" way. (I may read trash novels but I don't actually want to live in 19th century England.) It belongs to you because you are the only person I would ever share it with. It belongs to you because one of the most incredible things you can share with another person is that instant where you no longer know where one person begins and the other ends. It belongs to you because no one else would ever appreciate it quite the way you would. You know what it has gone through and why it looks like it does. (And you still love it anyway.)

With all my worldly goods I thee endow.

Everything that I have I give to you. Things might make life easier but they don't make you happy. They don't challenge you and make you think. They don't try to think of ways to make you happy. You can't confess your darkest secrets to them. They don't make you a better person.

I've heard the line - You complete me. But that's not it. You don't complete me, you anticipate me. You have the power to pull all the best and worst things out of me and make me better then I am. That is love.

Come what may, I will always love you. It's not perfect but it is real.
