A Celebration of Love: Our Marriage Vows
Kim and I tied the knot on Saturday, August 16. It was an amazing, unforgettable (and very hot!) day. We are eternally grateful for all the love and support we received from the fifty-some friends and family that graced us with their presence. We have been together for over four years, have had lots of ups and downs, and have a lovely two year old daughter together. Our marriage celebration has tangibly deepened our sense of connection, commitment and joy. Many of our guests were touched by our vows and more than one asked me to make them available for future reference, so I’ve posted them here. If you’re a regular visitor to this site, or a client or colleague, see if you can recognize the Gender Synergy elements… My Vows: Kim Marshall, I feel like the luckiest man in the world to have you as my wife. I promise to support you in every way that I know. I love your ease of joy and your open, loving heart. I take it as my mission to give you reason and opportunity to continue opening and softening in all our years to come. I value you as my inspiration and my teacher. I vow to continue cultivating skill, trustworthiness, integrity and strength throughout our life together - in service to you, our family and the world. I vow to be true, present and steady, and to bring humour, generosity and depth to our marriage. I promise these things knowing full well that I will be both challenged and rewarded, and I’m grateful for all of it.
Kim’s Vows: Justice, I often think back to that weak-knee moment when we hugged, and I knew you were the man for me. Surrendering to that knowing, in the face of adversity, is what brought me here today, to this joyous occasion. I vow to continue surrendering into the wisdom of my heart, and into your embrace. I trust in the goodness of our union, and vow to nourish and care for myself, that I might always inspire your heart and light up your life for all the years to come. I vow to open in love more each day, and to nurture ease, happiness and well-being in our home and marriage. I vow to let go of what does not serve me, and to move always toward joy. I vow to welcome your gifts without reservation and to enjoy all the fruits of our togetherness in gratitude, love and even occasional reckless abandon. I promise you the world within me.
