At our legal marriage ten years later, we repeated our original promises. We used Shakespeare's sonnet 116 http://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/116.html because it says it all.

She attached a number of pictures; I enjoyed the trip down memory lane that looking at them made possible. In one photo, the two love-birds are leaning over a table as they sign the certificate that one of them had created for this occasion. I had forgotten that moment, and how touched I was by this added and most important flourish. I love thinking of that signed document hanging on their wall; certainly not official in any legal sense but a powerful reminder of their pledge to love one another fully and freely.
