Today, we mark 9 years of marriage and almost every moment has taken my breath away. I am so grateful for life's riches we share and the intrepid way we support each other in all kinds of unknown adventures.
Our vows were prescient and are worth restating again and again...
Ulrich, I stand here beside you today to tell you that I love you and that I want you as my husband. I promise that I will cherish you as my partner and respect you as an individual. I promise to be faithful to you. I promise to nurture our love and never take it for granted. I will cry with you. I will celebrate with you. I will grow old with you. I will do my best to make our house a home and the people in it a family. I promise to draw out your sense of humor and make laughter a part of your life. I pledge to appreciate your uniqueness. Ulrich, I am committed to us and I vow to honor you for the rest of my life.Some days it feels like there is a lot of uniqueness to appreciate and humor and laughter are essential ingredients for marriage. I am so grateful to have such a generous partner with which to share my celebrations, tears, and love for life. Today we celebrated with a romantic steak dinner by the lake here in Brasilia. It was an elegant and delicious way to mark our marriage.
