Shelly and Travis, you are about to make your promises to one another. You will find that as you live by these vows over the years, investing your time, love and your commitment to one another, the happy times of your life will be twice as joyous because you will share these joys in marriage.

As Shelly quoted to Travis from Relationship Love Quotes: "If I did anything right in life it was when I gave my heart to you".
