I'm not wordy...

Writing my vows shouldn't have been a problem for me... I tell Jane how much I love her and what she means to me all the time. So why did I have so much trouble putting into a short set of vows that last only a couple of minutes?

Nerves? Maybe... Pressure? possibly... or it's more likely that it's simply the fact that I'm not very good with words.

Want me to do a painting in front of people? I'm sure I'd have no trouble with that. But write down something that I say all the time, but for an official occassion? ...and I just stare at the screen.

...for hours.

...and hours.

There were two nights when I was trying to get them finished before bed, and I ended up staying on here 'till about 2am. And still went to bed with nothing finished. And a few nights ago I went to bed about midnight... and couldn't sleep. At all. 5am.. and I'm still lying there, repeating my vows over and over in my head, trying to figure out how to finish them.

I ended up getting back out of bed, turning the computer back on and carrying on with my vows!

...well at least I got them finished! Hooray!

I don't know what the problem was, it's not like anybody will even remember what we both said to each other. They'll remember that we said some nice things, some slightly amusing things... and that we were married by the end of it.

And that's all that matters I guess!
