o my wife, best friend, my soulmate, my faithful partner, and my one and only true love: I promise to cherish you, respect you, encourage you, inspire you, and to love you, truly through good times and bad.

My commitment is made in love, kept in faith, lived in hope and eternally made anew. Happy Valentines 2013.
Love always,

his is my first Valentine's with my sweetie Brandon and I wanted to let him know how much he means to me. He has become my best friend, supporter and love. We've shared some wonderful moments together. Because of him, the quality of my life has improved. I'm happier, more grateful and optimistic. I look forward to our future together.
y Love, I doubt that these words could express how I truly feel! You are everything I could of hoped for in a husband, friend, and father. You make me happy everyday, I will appreciate you for life. Our life together is blessed by God and as long as we believe in each other our life together will be long and full of happiness I love you so much and I hope it never changes.
Your wife,
Sujett

never liked the idea of being in a commited relationship just for the sake of being in one. During a time when being a "single lady" is often glamorized, I never thought that I would EVER find a man who would make me smile as much as Everett. Without sounding too cliche, we both agree that WE bring out the best in each other. I will stay committed, as long as my face keeps a smile.

y wife Tamara is the one I will spend the rest of my Valentine's with. She is my center, my support, my love, my strength and comfort. Not only is it Valentine's Day, it is also her birthday. God loved me so much that he created her on the day of love just for me. I know that I may not have been her first choice for a mate and that she is accustomed to quite a different lifestyle than that of being married to a musician. Still she chose to join me in matrimony. I would just like to declare my everlasting love, loyalty and commitment to you and promise that as long as we have each other there is no limit to where we can go and what we can do. I See You!
