Stronger Together
“Whenever I feel weak I know that you will lend me your strength. Whenever I face obstacles I know that you will be at my side ready to fight the same battles. Whenever I have problems I know that you will help me to carry the burden. Today I promise to give you the same in return. We are stronger together.”
I Love You For You
“I Love you for who you are. I love the way you snort when you laugh. I love how kind you are to animals. I love that you are totally unashamed to admit your love of terrible movies. I love all the little things that make you who you are. Today I promise to keep on loving you for the rest of our lives.”
