两年前我毕业的那个暑假,我们在第一次约会的地方办了一场温馨的婚礼。
因为办婚礼的时候已经领证两年多了,所以并没有牧师和“in sickness and in health”的传统誓词,而是请了我老公最初来美留学的寄宿家庭的妈妈做了见证人,互相交换了自己写的vow。
两年前的我说,
I love that you are my best friend, and how we never run out of things to talk about. I love how we can watch the most boring movie and still have a great time. I love your optimism, patience and kindness. I love the way you turn into 招财猫 when you smile. The list of things I love about you can go on and on, but I always get stuck when I start to write the promises in this vow.
Then I realized, promises are just beautiful guidelines that may or may not be fulfilled. I don't want to start our life together with the unpredictability of a promise.
Just like your blood flows not because your heart made a promise to beat, and your eyes sparkle not because the photons made a promise to travel.
I stand before our family and friends, inviting them to witness my gratitude instead of my promise. I am grateful, because loving you is not a promise, it is the inevitable result of you being you, and me being me.
P.S. 其实不想发太多和你的合照,你的184九头身总是显得我又矮又肥脸又圆...
生日快乐❤️
