Modern Vows

To my beautiful bride: I promise to never stop dating you. I will bring you flowers for no reason, hold doors open, and never let the romance fade.

I see you as my equal, my partner, and my love. I promise to respect your ambition, to comfort your fears, and to build a life where we both thrive.

I promise not to watch the next episode without you, even if it ends on a cliffhanger. I vow to pretend I'm interested in your hobbies, to share my fries even when I said I didn't want any, and to love you even when you're hangry. You are my favorite person to annoy for the rest of my life.

I promise to share my life with you, and more importantly, my passwords and my streaming accounts. I vow to never watch the next episode of our show without you, to always defend your honor when you're being 'hangry,' and to love you even when you're quoting TikToks I don't understand.

I choose a partnership that treats attention as something we give each other on purpose.
