Funny wedding vows for a spouse at a garden ceremony

I promise to love you the way I loved our garden plot last spring — with wild enthusiasm and absolutely no idea what I was doing.

Remember the night we tried to assemble that trellis in the dark because you insisted the roses 'couldn't wait until morning'? I promise to keep building things with you, even badly, even by flashlight, even when the neighbors file noise complaints.

I vow to always let you pick the venue, the flowers, and the emergency backup venue for when it rains on the flowers, because your Plan B energy has saved us more than once.

I promise to split the garden chores fairly: you handle the weeding, I handle standing nearby offering opinions you didn't ask for.

Today, under actual flowers instead of the plastic ones we almost ordered by mistake, I promise to keep choosing you — bugs, dirt, and all.

I promise to love you the way you loved that trellis project — stubbornly, past midnight, by the light of a phone at 12 percent battery.

You called it 'couldn't wait until morning,' I called it 'a fire hazard,' but I promise to keep saying yes to your urgent, slightly unreasonable plans, because they always turn into our best stories.

I vow to let you offer opinions on my weeding technique forever, as long as you also bring snacks, because that's the deal that's kept this garden — and this relationship — alive.

I promise to be your Plan B for the Plan B, standing ready with a tarp, a sense of humor, and zero judgment when things get muddy.

Today, surrounded by flowers we definitely did not buy at the last minute, I promise to keep building a life with you — one badly assembled trellis at a time.
