Prudence…
I Prudence Dick pledge to you Joseph Ndlovu that I will love you even when you don’t love yourself. Thank you for choosing me out of the millions if not billions out there. Joey you came into my life like a whirlwind and snatched up my heart , on this day I say “I do” but to me it means “I will”, I will take your hand & stand by your side in the good & in the bad. I dedicate myself to your happiness, to your success, to your spiritual wellbeing & to your smile. I promise to listen to you attentively, to support you in every new venture you may embark on. I promise to be at the starting line and to be there at the finish line. I promise to be a wife to you and a mother to our children, raising them in a Catholic home filled with love, peace and happiness, acknowledging God and His infinite love for us. I love you. I promise to share my most inner fears and happiest moments with you. I promise to be yours until the end of time. I promise to pray for you and I thank the Lord for the love that He has bound our hearts with. As we enter our journey I look to you as a partner and leader in our home as I look to Christ as the head of the church. I will love you in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, in sorrow as in joy, and will be true to you by God’s grace, trusting in him, as long as we both shall live. I love you enough.
