93%: Adrienne & Kenny
July 9, 2011“When I met you in the third grade, I didn’t love you yet. When you passed me a note in sixth grade while in band together, I didn’t love you yet. The first time I rode to your house on my bike, I didn’t love you yet. But this didn’t last very long. When we would take Christian to the pool when he was little, I loved you then. When you would ride on the handle bars of my bike for so long your abs would burn, I loved you then. Before we started dating, and were dating other people, I loved you then. But I didn’t know what love was yet. All I knew was how I cared for you, like I have never cared for anyone else. I remember, when we were young, Alexis saying “You two are totally going to get married one day.” I also remember thinking that as shocking as that felt at 14, inside I knew that wasn’t too far fetched. Well Alexis, it’s safe to say, you called it. But I don’t think it was such a hard thing to see. I remember my mom asking me “Why don’t you and Adrienne date?” With my grown up response of “Mom, we’re too good of friends to date. I don’t want to screw it up.” And Mom, I think we were both right. My love has grown for you over 15 years. Thats almost 60% of my life, I have loved you. When we are 70, I will have loved you for almost 93% percent of my life. That’s How Strong My Love Is. And it wont stop.
I will love you, through Sickness and in Health, in Poverty and in Wealth. I will love you, when its not easy and we have to work for it. Through the peaks and the valleys of our life, I will be loving you. In a society where few things last, I will continue to love you. When I asked you to marry me over a year ago, I promised you that I would love you for the rest of my life. And today, in front of all our family, and friends, I again promise, I will love you.
I WILL love you… for the rest of my life…
and that is what I vow to you.”
Kenny to Adrienne
Your Third Grade Teacher Kay Pantelis said: Kenny, I loved every picture and especially the vows you said to Adrienne. I could’t read the vows to my husband because I kept getting teary eyed. You are extra special to me because I remember you at our home in Bridalwood when you almost drowned in our jacuzzi. Then hearing about you through mom while you were growing up and hearing many good things about the two of you. I wish you both a world of happiness and joy together.
Congratulations!!
With love,
Kay
Congratulations to both of you. Love, Kay
