Due to popular demand, we thought we'd make available the text of the vows we each wrote and said to each other before doing that ring thing. (in a few weeks, we'll put photos up of us doing this, and perhaps video as well)
Noemi said to Barry:
In front of everyone here, I declare that I love you. I give you my whole self and everything that is in my power to give, holding nothing back from you. I commit all of my strength, intelligence and love to support you in following your dreams. I promise to explore the wondrous spaces I find in getting closer to you - the amazing things I am continually learning about you, the ways that I discover my true self in loving you, and all the ways the world opens up to me as I get closer to you. I will stand by your side in solidarity and devotion. I vow to remember that you are the perfect one for me and that you love me perfectly. And I commit to letting you all the way into my heart.Barry said to Noemi:
I commit from this day forward to strive at all times to give weight to your words, let you into my heart, and communicate nothing less than the obvious reality that you are, and have always been, the perfect ally to me. And should ever I doubt how sharp your mind, how kind your heart, how playful your spirit, how creative your soul, let these words and this day come back to me as a gentle reminder: completely and absolutely, like my love for you, which I now give without reservation as I drop all resistance and put my life in your hands.
