For Airyn

I, John Stewart Sloan, take you, Airyn Rano Lentija, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

And you have been there for me,
when I was sick.
Even before we were married,
You were there for me.

You have been there for me
when I was weak
when I was foolish,
and when I was selfish

You forgave me and you were there for me.

And you have been there for me
in good times and,
more importantly, in the bad times
when I have failed.

You have been there for me……..
And I will be there for you.
I will never desert you……
never abandon you……

Never.
