christina,
I could promise to hold you, to cherish you.
I could promise to be there, in sickness and in health.
I could say till death do us apart, but I won't.
Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope.
I do not stand here on my wedding day
optimistic or full of hope.
I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful.
I am sure I am steady.
I am a heart man.
Take 'em apart, put 'em back together, hold 'em in my hands.
So this, I am sure.
You are my partner, my lover, my very best friend, my heart.
My heart beats for you, and on this day,
the day of our wedding,
I promise you this.
I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands.
I promise you ...
[ dr. burke, dump yang and marry me
