Trisha & Jared Dunn

For more than four years, & 7,500 miles my cousin Patricia and her boyfriend Jared have lived apart While Trisha has always been understanding and grateful for Jared's service in the Marines, it was never easy for her being apart.

Now Jared has been home almost a year and yesterday they committed their lives to each other in front of about a hundred of their friends and family.

The first surprise were the clever vows. (Hopefully I got them just right!)

Jared:
I will love you on the sea
I will love you in a tree
I will love you here and there
I will love you anywhere.

Patricia:
I will love you every day
I will love you come what may
I will love you more than pie
I will love ‘til I die.

Jared:
On the sea, in a tree

Patricia:
Every day, come what may.

Both:
I will love you here and there.
I will love you anywhere.

It was the perfect beginning to an amazing night!

Congratulations!
