JUST FOR YOU by Bambie019

CURRENTLY EDITING!! ~♡♡~ "Are there other vows you'd like to say to each other?" The priest asked. We both nodded simultaneously as we smiled. "I have to catch my breath to believe this is real-that I'm marrying my true love, my heart's desire. I promise to hold our love as an everlasting love. I promise to love you, to be your hearth, to keep a flame alive for you in my heart." I beamed widely as tears of joy flowed from my eyes. "I promise that my love for you will be an ever-flowing spring, never diminished, always sweet, and life-giving. Not just for this moment, not for an hour, day, or year, I will always love you, and most of all, I promise to be just for you." He concluded, lifted my veil, and kissed me even before the priest asked us to while the congregation screamed. ♡♡ Janette Williams is a typical shy, quiet, and introverted girl because of her overly protective and dictating father.
