“I pledge to love you, honor you, and respect you every day (with patience, maturity and not a single ounce of ‘tude). I vow to protect you and our family — our little people — to the best of my ability. I will do whatever it takes to provide for us, even if that means teaching English or revamping Prettyboy Promotions and partying in bars five nights a week. I promise to be a good brother-in-law and exemplary son-in-law.
I don’t take these vows lightly, and I know things will not always be easy. When we have a fight or encounter a problem, I will work through it, no matter how insurmountable it seems, and treat this marriage like the partnership it is. Carrie Alice Ainsworth, you are the love of my life. You are my muse. And standing before me today, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. When I tell you that I love you, you always respond by saying, ‘I love you more.’ Well, I want you to know that I love you most. Forever, for always.” —Jonathan Abrams
