--Nerd.
--(don't get freaked out by the long ... I say this as someone who VERY MUCH freaks out over the ...)

--Writing wedding vows in a world that feels like it could end at any moment feels like tempting fate. But in the face of plagues and fires and floods and fear perhaps the only sensible thing to do is promise to love, honor, and protect the ones we love So, I promise to love, honor, and protect you. To be honest and true and myself with you. Which means I will overthink everything, talk way too much, and probably drive you insane.

(amend: definitely overthink, definitely talk too much)

But you're used to that by now.

(are you??)

I promise to try to remember that you are not mine.

Well, not just mine.

That you belong to the universe and that I shouldn't be needy even though I secretly am.

(...secretly...?? who was I kidding)

I promise to keep learning from you and being inspired by you and trying to be worthy of you. And I promise to renew these vows every single day.

(vaguely ominous AND romantic there, good job me)

I make them not just to you, but also to everyone we know and love, our parents, friends, mentors, and colleagues across the multiverse who make up our extended family.

I promise to love you with everything I have. And everything I am. And will ever be.

(also vaguely ominous and romantic, I'm striking a great tone, aren't you glad you're marrying me again???) (too many question marks I know) (also too much running commentary sorry I'm weirdly nervous)

Which is nothing compared to the way you love me.

-- I'm sitting here on this park bench, surrounded by a bunch of pigeons that make me mildly nervous after the whole bird thing we just all went through, and I really want to say something that will make you feel all the things that I just felt reading through that.
-- Though I know I don't necessarily have to, because we're not transactional like that.
-- But, I love you, Billy.
-- I really don't know where I'd be without you and I don't want to know and am glad that I don't have to know, because I know you're always here and will be.
-- I hate that you were without me for so long in this place, but I'm glad it got fixed and we're together and that's just it.
-- Because I can't imagine a world or worlds or universe or whatever else where that isn't a constant, no matter what.
-- So, yeah.
-- We're making it official.
-- Arr matey.

	--meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me, T. --even though I crashed into a tree when you smiled at me and Eli made us run sprints for a half hour after. --You're written on me. You're my constant. When the world feels chaotic ans unsure and when I feel like I'm going to split apart, you're my true north. -aye aye Captain (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

-- No one else I'd want to run sprints with.
-- Though I think we're better off now with me doing the running and bringing back donuts for us both, instead.
-- But I could say all the same about you, B. I'm so glad that I get to and can be all of that for you, just because I know how happy that I am that you're that for me.
-- It's a good partnership, if you ask me.
-- And I'm real glad we get to be Kaplan-Altman together.

	--Such a liar, you would WAY rather run sprints with someone who actually runs not someone who definitely pretended to twist his ankle so he could puke in the bushes in secret. --Kaplan-Altman^3 don't forget. --Go run off that energy, I'll be here waiting. --Though not too much of that energy, heyoooooooooooooooooooo (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	-- Would I lie to you? On this? The day of our umpteenth wedding? -- I'd hold your hair back anyway. -- I'll make sure to keep some energy in reserve, just for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
