"How do I Love Thee"

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My sould can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old greifs, and with my childhood's faith.
I loved thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost Saints. I love with the breadth,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The Vows (Letters Both wrote to each other):

I struggled to find the words fitting of this ocassion. It seems
there are none invented, none good enough, none capable of
describing the way you make me feel, what your love does, what you
do to me. Trista, in falling in love with you I've found something
so special. I've woken to a sunrise more surprising and beautiful
than any dream. You are the inspiration in my life. You've taught me
of love unconditional, forgiveness, faith and trust. I give you my
heart and you've given me life and desire, brought forth poetry and
art. You make me laugh and you make me cry. Most importantly you
make me want to try, not to be more than I am, but to be all that I
am. And though at times life gets heavy, the perserverance and
endurance of your love makes me strong. I stand before you today and
promise to walk beside you forever. With all that I am, with my life
and nothing less...I love you, forever and ever.

Ryan Sutter...Over a year ago that name stood for someone I had
never met before. Now it represents not only the name I will take,
but so much more. I means happiness. The kind of happiness that
makes your cheeks hurt. It means contentment, knowing that my search
is over, and our forever can finally begin. It means safety, the way
I feel in complete silence when I'm in your arms. It means
friendship and loyalty and fun, and living with allergy shots to
save us from denying Natasha of any love. It means beauty, because
there is nothing more beautiful than your eyes, except maybe your
smile. It means warmth, and not just because you are my personal
space heater, but because the first word I would use to describe
your heart is warm. It means gratitude for you being in my life.
Heather, Clay and whomever was watching over us from above. It means
family, honor, trust and love. You are the love of my life and I
will love you forever and always....
-Trista
