1) OPENING LINE OPTIONS - Maya, when I broke your bowl in pottery class, I made the best mistake of my life. - Maya, I may never be good at pottery, but I am very good at loving you. - Maya, you are my favorite rainy weekend and my best adventure. 2) FULL VOWS Maya, when I broke your bowl in pottery class in 2019, I made the best mistake of my life. You laughed, and I have been chasing that laugh ever since. Our first trip together was a rainy weekend in Portland. It rained, and it was still perfect, because you were there. That is when I learned that with you, the weather never really matters. When my dad had surgery, you stayed with me in the hospital waiting room. You did not need to say anything. You just stayed. I knew then that you were the person I wanted beside me for every hard day and every good one. I love your laugh. I love how you remember everyone's birthday. And I love your patience when I get lost driving, which happens more than I would like to admit. So today, in front of the people we love, I make you these promises. I promise to always make the coffee. I promise to listen before I try to fix things. And I promise to keep planning adventures with you, rainy or not, for the rest of our lives. Maya, I choose you. Today and every day. 3) SHORT VOWS Maya, since the day I broke your bowl, you have made my life brighter. I love your laugh and your patience with me.
