About a week before the wedding Dustin still didn't have his vows done and he was stuck! He asked for direction and I said that this was the time to tell me exactly how he feels, as it might never get said again.
Well for a guy that was having troubles, he did an amazing job. He made me a charm bracelet and his vows explained what each charm represented:
Heart – This heart represents my love for you, and I give it to you from this day forward
Key – This key represents honesty and trust, the ability for each of us to be honest with each other about anything, and the trust I hold in you with all of my dreams and fears
R – This R symbolizes respect and understanding, the respect that I have for you as a person, as a woman, and the respect we have for each other, and understanding that in times when we don’t agree we can still respect each others differences
Cross – This cross represents my faith in you, in us, and the faithfulness we will share in our lives together
Moon & Stars – These moon & stars represents guidance and our ability to lead each other through even our hardest times, and to share the direction of our lives, wherever it may take us
Leaves – Theses leaves represent our tree, growth and support, we will both continue to grow as individuals but we will also grow together, and as we grow I will support you and us in whatever life brings our way
Lock – This lock represents strength, we are stronger together than we are separately, and together we can take on any challenge that life throws our way, and I look forward to facing those challenges with you
Smiley Face – This represents your smile, there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing your smiling face, every time it makes me realize just how much I love you
Key – This key represents honesty and trust, the ability for each of us to be honest with each other about anything, and the trust I hold in you with all of my dreams and fears
R – This R symbolizes respect and understanding, the respect that I have for you as a person, as a woman, and the respect we have for each other, and understanding that in times when we don’t agree we can still respect each others differences
Cross – This cross represents my faith in you, in us, and the faithfulness we will share in our lives together
Moon & Stars – These moon & stars represents guidance and our ability to lead each other through even our hardest times, and to share the direction of our lives, wherever it may take us
Leaves – Theses leaves represent our tree, growth and support, we will both continue to grow as individuals but we will also grow together, and as we grow I will support you and us in whatever life brings our way
Lock – This lock represents strength, we are stronger together than we are separately, and together we can take on any challenge that life throws our way, and I look forward to facing those challenges with you
Smiley Face – This represents your smile, there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing your smiling face, every time it makes me realize just how much I love you
WOW was all I was thinking! It was so personal, touching and simply amazing. There wasn't a dry eye there when he was done, as you can tell by the photo of me and the girls behind me doing the ugly cry.
Everyone was congratulating me on picking such an amazing man to do such a beautiful thing for our wedding. And all the guys were giving Dustin a hard time, saying he set the bar too high!
Once we got into the motorhome to tour around to take photos, Dustin gave me his wedding gift to me. It was a shadow box with his vows printed out and a spot to hang the bracelet to display it!
I am one lucky woman!!! But I knew that long before the wedding day!
