As we stand before each other, we are missing significant people to both of us. When you lose someone you love, it's devastating - especially if it means that person will miss notable moments in your life such as these. A little over five years ago, we moved in together. Shortly afterward, I followed you across the country and then the world. This chapter ended, and a new one began for us when your sister fell ill, and we returned home. I watched you love her, protect her, learn from her, laugh and cry with her, and care deeper than I've ever seen anyone care before. You show this unbreakable love for your family that I didn't know could exist. In such a difficult time, it was the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. Saychay, I vow to spend my days making every effort to deserve this love of yours.
Mark, 7 years ago today, I chose you as my boyfriend. Since then, we have laughed, and we have cried. We have traveled far, and we have traveled wide. But most importantly, we have grown closer together every day, and that's what I cherish most. Today, I choose you as my husband, my lifeline, my support, and my greatest romantic love. I give you all of myself, and I accept all of you. I promise to give you my love, now and for all our remaining days on Earth. I love you.
Love Is Friendship Caught Fire – Laura Hendricks Love is friendship caught fire; it is quiet, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection, and makes allowances for human weaknesses. Love is content with the present, hopes for the future, and does not brood over the past. It is the day-in and day-out chronicles of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you do not have it, no matter what else there is, it is not enough.

Starting at the Italian part: The light that you have (I pray we'll find your light) In the heart will remain (And hold it in our hearts) To remind us that (When stars go out each night) You are the eternal star (Whoa) In my prayer (Let this be our prayer) How much faith there is (When shadows fill our day) Lead us to a place (Guide us with your grace) Give us faith so we'll be safe We dream of a world with no more violence A world of justice and hope Everyone gives his hand to his neighbor Symbol of peace, of fraternity The strength it gives us (We ask that life be kind) It is the desire that (And watch us from above) Everyone finds love (We hope each soul will find) Around and within itself (Another soul to love) Let this be our prayer Let this be our prayer Just like every child Just like every child Need to find a place Guide us with your grace Give us faith so we'll be safe It is faith that You lit in us I feel it will save us
For this life there is only once I am able to love you In this world will love for always For the rest of my life there is only you Love you alone For this life I’ve come to love you In this world I give away my heart to you I will be with you for eternity For the rest of my life CHORUS: Our way of love There is no one who can stop us If we love each other and we stay together For all eternity SPEAKING For this life there is only once That I came to love you If there is sadness or there is stress that makes you shed tears Let me be the one to wipe them away I promise you that I will love you alone For all eternity REPEAT CHORUS Please do not let difficulties ruin our lives We should help each other We should forgive each other In order to be good according to this promise we must let go Our way of love Oh the one I love Give you my love For eternity Give my life to you For always For eternity For always For all eternity
