Our Vows
Johnie's
From all the people we’ve met and places we’ve been we ended up here. Some might call it luck, but I know it was fate.Even if the timing wasn’t right the first time we met, we found our way back to each other because we were meant to be together.
You are my soulmate. You are the most amazing person I have ever met. The one that I tell 500 times a day “I love you” but I always love more. The one I wished for all my life without even knowing and the one I can totally be myself with.
Our wedding rings
Johnie writting her vows!
I love you unconditionally and without hesitation and today I take you to be my husband, to be none other than yourself. Loving what I know of you and trusting what you will become.
Together let us built a home filled with learning, laughter and compassion shared freely with everyone who might live there, 2 legged or 4 legged!
I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support, to work with you to foster and cherish a relationship of equality knowing that together we will built a life far better than either of us could imagine alone.
I’m looking forward to the next crazy idea we will come up with, like this one, and to always be by your side as you take over the world and make everything possible.
I choose you and I’ll choose you over and over and over without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat, I’ll keep choosing you.

Of course, the way you are, your mentality, made my decision to be with you forever very easy. You make my life better in general, and the way you show me your love makes me feel secure with my decision to be with you for the rest of my life.
Except for one thing!
One thing that marks my mind and I have to tell you before we move to level 5 (which is getting married)!
When we first started dating, you mentioned that you didn’t like doing the dishes!
That truly made me have second thoughts about going on to level 5! …
Just kidding!
But anyway, I was able to overcome it because of everything that you are.
Your kindness, warmth, thoughtfulness, your gentle soul, the pure intentions that you have for me and for the world around you, the way we hug every night before we go to bed, the way you treat me, the fact that we do all crazy things together, our compatibility at crazy ideas that we are willing to realize and above that, you being crazy enough to organize the whole thing so our experience is more crazy fun!!
My beloved Johnie, when we first spoke 5 years ago, we said a standard hello.
I never thought that today I would be standing here in front of you ready to commit for the rest of my life - that you and I will be together in facing everything, joys and sorrows.
I wouldn't want to be with anyone else because only you and me combined will eventually win in all aspects of life.
I would never have thought that you will be the love of my life.
If you remember, our 1st date wasn’t so successful and I was sure that there was something strange about you.
Actually, my first decision was a NO GO with you!!
Thank God we had a 2nd date and I met the real you for the 1st time!!!
It didn't take long for me to understand that you were the right one for me. From the second we were together everything was - and still - is so easy.
Everyday life, walks, trips, activities are so pleasant and easy with you!
The fact that we have eaten at almost every burger place and Mexican restaurant that we would find, helped me a lot to make one of the most important decisions of my life!
My beloved Johnie, I am so happy and honored that I will become your forever partner in crime & life even if you annoy me aaaaall the time with your scary pranks, or even if I have to do the dishes for the rest of my life (or at least till we buy a dishwasher), or even if I have to face death multiple times while you are driving!
I am here, ready to become your partner!
BUT…
Trust me, I wouldn’t accept any of the pre-mentioned if you weren’t super-hot and attractive and beautiful in so many aspects…
I just wanted to be honest with you…
That being said, my promise to you is one!
Love!
But love has many forms.
So I promise you, love, being your No 1 supporter to everything you decide to do, even go on a 3-hour hiking at 2am to an active volcano just to see the sunrise and cook our breakfast with the volcanic steam.
I promise you love, through the happy times and especially through the times that might feel like we are literally falling apart.
I promise you love, to be by your side at hard times, even though I know that, with you, these times will not be so difficult eventually.
I promise you love, with respect. I will never get comfortable disrespecting you. I will always respect you to the utmost no matter what.
I promise you love, with loyalty. Loyalty comes in many different forms, except in the obvious form of loyalty. I mean that even if I don’t always want to, I will do what I have to do for the person I care for.
I promise you love, with my dedication and commitment to do everything I can to make you happy and always have the moto
“Happy wife, Happy life” at the back of my head!
I promise you the perfect love. And what do I mean by that ?
You see, no one can be perfect on their own. It doesn’t matter how good you are. Most people don’t realize that you are not really perfect until you find your better half. When we found each other, my love combined with your love and created the perfect love for us. I am so lucky to have found my better half and have the opportunity to feel perfect love.
From the first time we met, it was natural to be together, even if we sabotaged our first date!
It has always been you…
I loved you yesterday, I love you today and I will always love you…
