Zoe, I do.


Zoe, today you were born of your mom's mighty belly and the fierce look she shoots us from her pillow - "YOU did this to me!" I feel that we have a good sense of our boundaries, but you sink into who I am like two hands sink into a fifty gallon drum of dry soybeans. We have caressed our lovers, and we have both felt so lonely and panicked thinking of everything they couldn't see in us. We have struggled to show them, but all the while we have truly witnessed each other with the same love and care we sought from them.
Zoe Prizer, I promise to love and honor you in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live.
