Here are our wedding vows and the seven things we liked about each other.

Joe:
I take you, Kristen, to be my wife, before God who brought us together; to love and protect you even as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it, to lead you and cleanse you with the washing of water by the Word. That through His grace we might grow together into the likeness of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Kristen:
I take you, Joe, to be my husband, before God who brought us together, to love you, respect you, honor you, to submit myself to you in all things, and to follow you as you follow God. That through His grace we might grow together into the likeness of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

The seven things I love about Joe (in order):
7. The way he wraps his arms around me and says “Mine” – And continues to like the seagulls on Finding Nemo
6. When he laughs and says jokes – He always knows how to make me smile
5. How he loves others – He desires to have a home that is welcome to guests
4. The way that he looks at me – He makes me feel like I’m all he ever wanted
3. When he directs time in the Bible – God always shows me something new through him
2. How he leads us in musical worship – His love for God is really evident
1. The way that he prays – I can really see his heart for God
