______, I take you as my husband/wife. To say I love you is not enough

Nor how I appreciate
How tender and caring you are,
Nor the joy I find in your laughter,

Nor the strength you give when I need it,
Nor the pleasure I feel in your touch.
But if to say I love you means all these things
Then let me say I love you more each day.
