On this day,
I vow to be yours forever.
I give myself to you,
before our family, friends,
And before God.
I will love you with everything I have
today, tomorrow, and always.
From this day forward,
you will never have to feel alone.
Today, we are one.

Traditionally, at a Jewish wedding,
the father places a necklace on
his daughter.
Daddy's little girl,
In her wedding dress.
He walks her down the aisle.
A tear escapes his eye.
As he kisses her cheek,
And gives her away,
He softly whispers,
“You'll always be my baby.”

We're having a baby!

I'm over the moon.

Tonight I give myself to you,
because I know that what we have is real.

I'm going to love you
Like I've never been hurt before.

They grow up so fast.
