To Marissa whom I love
the woman of my life
my dearest and closest friend
The one about to be my wife
8 years ago in a co-op class
Twas the place that we first met
I loved you from that moment on
Though I didn't know it yet
End of the school year
And parted ways did we
Different directions for a time
The Lord did have us be
Lessons to learn
and morals to keep
Growing in spirit
Our faith in Christ growing deep
Many years later,
Under the fire work lit sky
I finally asked you out
And yes was your reply
I fell in love with
That sparkle in your eye
Deep and blue like the sea
And bright as the sky
I fell in love with your laugh
So joyful and carefree
A testament to God's love
That resides in you and me
I fell in love with you
The peace to my chaos
My calm and balance
Without you I'd be at a loss
I stand here now ready
My vows to pledge to you
Promises of faith and love
And of trials to weather through
I promise to love you
For the rest of my days
I just hope you'll put up with me
And all my crazy ways
I promise to be strong
A shelter ever steady
A place to rest and be at peace
I will always be ready
To hold you tight and close
If comfort is what you desire
Or to simply be a listening ear
When you need to vent your ire
I promise to express
Just how much I love you
Every day for the rest of our lives
Starting now by saying I do
