I Do



Today's the day we've said I do
I've finally come to rescue you
Today our lives are filled with promise
So, as the gypsy, I grant your wish
I promise to love, honor, cherish and try to obey
To not hold back what I have to say
To include you in my future dreams
And to trust the man you've come to be
To be there with you when chips are down
And to make you laugh instead of frown
To feed you when your stomach's empty
To love you when your body's tempting
To be there for you for the rest of your life
Because today I've truly become your wife
