The Vows ... From Robb to Chrissy

Chrissy,
I could never tell you just how much or in how many ways I love you,
But I promise to spend the rest of my life trying to show you.
I promise not to get angry in the face of frustration.
I promise to support and encourage you in whatever goals you have for yourself or for both of us.
I promise to always be open and honest with my thoughts and feelings.
I promise to never take yours for granted.
And I promise to never leave you.
Not in life. Not in death. Not ever.
I love you, and I am yours.
I promise.

The Vows ... From Chrissy to Robb

Robb,
I love you.
I love everything about you.
I love you more than breathing.
I need you more than oxygen.
I cherish you more than diamonds,
And I value you more than gold.
You are my treasure.
Until the end of time, I will be your best friend.
I will be compassionate and supportive,
Understanding and forgiving,
Open and honest.
I will always be there for you when you need me.
I will love you unconditionally and whole-heartedly.
I adore you,
I admire you,
And I will do anything for you.
Knowing that I am going to share the rest of my life with you makes me the luckiest.

Robb's Story:

The night air was cool, with a mild breeze that carried warm dreams and unanswered prayers. Robb sauntered through the club without a care. He wasn't there to meet anyone. He wasn't there to find the kind of love most people only read about in trashy romance novels. He certainly didn't plan on turning his whole world around for the better in one evening. But fate, it seems, had those exact plans in store for him.

Her hair was short and died blond. She had the look of a surfer girl, and the moves of an exotic princess. Instantly, Robb was captivated by this radiant creature, this angel that had somehow slipped away from God's grasp and had landed right on the dance floor that she now shared with his friend. There was something about her that Robb couldn't put his finger on. All the glory of heaven shined through a pair of sad eyes. Trapped. That was the look. It was the look of someone who had been arrested by the Mexican police, but with a beauty and a hope that so far surpassed the sadness, that they made it barely recognizable.

Robb knew he had to act fast. He glided over to her, hoping to find a moment. A connection. Something to let him know that she knew that he existed. And then it came. A seductive look of promised contentment. That was all he needed. He was sent spinning into a world of hopes and doubts, of dreams and reality, of happiness and fear. When his friend was called by nature to leave the dance floor, Robb stepped up to the plate. He knew he could be rejected, something he hated more than anything. But he also knew he would never have an opportunity like this again. The appropriate hellos were exchanged, and after giving her his name he asked for hers.

"Chrissy," was all she said. Chrissy, like the glimmer of a droplet of dew on a crisp summer morning. Like the dance of a rainbow in the afternoon sky. Like the breath of God on a tropical breeze. Robb remembered what he had learned several years earlier, that when searching for man's ultimate treasure, you will eventually face the breath of God. And when that happens, only the penitent man will pass. The penitent man. Penitent. Penitent. A penitent man is humble before God. A penitent man kneels before God. KNEEL!! And that's what he did in the Hard Rock Hotel some three years later. With a ring in his hand, with a belly full of food and in a moment of sheer joy, these two were betrothed. They are arguably the most incredible couple ever on the face of the earth, or any heavenly body.

And speaking of "heavenly body"...well, that's another story.

Chrissy's Story:

Robb and I met on July 14th, 2000 at Tsunami's Beach Club in San Diego California. Robb was with a group of friends and Chrissy was with her older sister Liz. A friend of Robb's introduced them to each other. They hit it off from the start and after a long night of dancing went out for burritos where Liz thought it best to just give Robb Chrissy's phone number. To the dismay of some of Robb's friends, he called Chrissy the day after they met and arranged to go out on a date that night. Due to Chrissy's surprise, she accidentally gave Robb the wrong directions to her apartment (to this day she doesn't know why that happened), but with Robb's persistence and determination he found her waiting outside her apartment relieved and apologetic. From that moment on we have been an inseparable pair.
