Do you promise to love him and respect him in joy and in sadness, in health and in sickness, in wealth and [clears throat] in poverty, all the days of your life? Valentina made a pause of a second, felt all the looks over her. Alexander squeezed her hand, but she noticed the tension behind his smile.
I accept, she responded, and saw the relief on his face. Before proceeding with the exchange of rings, the couple wished to make a personal declaration, announced the father. Valentina had planned it weeks before when she still believed in their love. Now it would be useful in another way. Alexander began first. Valentina, when I met you that day at the mall, I knew that my life had changed forever.
You brought light, joy, and purpose to my days. I promise to be the husband you deserve, to take care of you and to build our family with all the love I have in the heart. Some guests were moved. Valentina smiled, but inside she thought and how he lied with such naturalness. It was her turn. Alexander, our relationship taught me much about trust, about delivering my heart completely to someone.
