January 28, 1996, when I got married with my best friend. It was the happiest day of my life for I was very sure of what I was doing. I was very much in love, very happy indeed to finally be able to spend the rest of my life with him.

The twelve years of togetherness were not that easy, as events unfolded into our married life. But as we had promised to each other, together we hurdled the storm, through thick and thin we were together.

After we heard mass this morning, he whispered "I love you", and said " I want to marry you again". As I look into his eyes, I know he really meant it. I replied " I won't hesitate to say I do over and over again".

To you my love, I offer myself, to love and serve you till the rest of my life.
