“Nikolaj, when I met you, I learned what it was to believe again. You walked into my life like a force of nature. I wasn’t expecting you’d turn out to be so determined.” I laugh nervously. “Your unwillingness to give up on us broke down my walls and gave me the courage to take a chance on romance. Until today, the day you told me you loved me, the day that I knew you were my everything, was the most unbelievable day of my life. What did I do right to deserve someone like you? I don’t know, but every day I thank my lucky stars. I promise to be a true and loyal friend and lover to you and I promise to be the arms you seek refuge in when life throws us a curve ball. In my heart, I’ll always love you with every fiber of my being. This is my sacred vow to you, the love of my life.”

“I look around and it’s the first time in the last thirty minutes that I realize we’re surrounded by people. Grinning like lovesick fools, we turn and face a garden of guests. We nod at each other before Nikolaj wraps his arm around mine and pulls me with him down the aisle. We walk at first, but quickly my husband’s step quickens into a jog. When my high heels won’t allow me to follow his pace, he stops, folds and sweeps me up into his arms. I drop my head against his face and his lips flirt with the shell of my ear. “My gorgeous wife, I told you I’d never let you fall.”

“I selected this song because even when I’m away from you, my mouth always remembers the taste of your love. That’s what kept me fighting to win you back last year and that’s what makes me so impatient to get back to you when I have to be away on business. You and I are proof that the most unlikely people on this planet do fall in love in mysterious ways. I don’t know how you do it, but I fall in love with you all over again every single day. I want our souls to grow old together. That’s how much I love you.”

“Sweetness, I love you and your sexy body way too much to allow this,” he says, waving a finger between us, “to ever become less than it’s always been—hot and heavy.”
