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.
