So I was thinking about this story over Christmas and couldn't quite shake the nagging feeling that maybe I had cheated you all by not showing Lexi and Roman reciting their vows when they got married. So I'm providing them here as a reference. This is what Lexi and Roman said to each other on that special day.

Roman's Vows

I knew it from the first time we met, from the moment I looked into those wary, seductive eyes, so filled with regret and pain, that I was hopelessly hooked. Numerous people warned me to stay away. They said you were irrevocably damaged and to just move on, but their warnings only made me more determined. There was something about you that pulled at me; something I couldn't ignore. All I could think about was how I could prove to you that what I felt was real. How my intentions were good in that all I wanted to do was erase your pain and love you.

I realized early that trust wasn't something which came easy to you, yet I remained determined and as the days grew into weeks and weeks grew into months, I began to see the change. The wariness so prominent in your eyes when we first met was slowly replaced with affection, the pain with joy and love.

Not long ago you called me your Superman. That's not a title I take lightly and as I stand here today, before our friends and family, I pledge to you not only my unending love and protection, but my very heart and soul. I love you Alexandra and I will do everything within my power to forever and always be your Superman.

Lexi's Vows

Love wasn't something that came easy for me. I'd long since stopped believing in adage of love at first sight. I'd stopped believing in love at all. Then you came along and turned my world upside down. You can't begin to imagine the shock I felt the first time we met. The instant and intense chemistry between us left me feeling confused and out of control.

Despite every effort I made to erect a wall between us and ignore that connection, still you somehow managed to breach my defenses. Your patience and understand made me feel as if I could trust you in a time of my life when the word trust had vanished from my vocabulary.

No matter what obstacle I faced, no matter how painful or frightening it might have been, you never let me hide from it, but you also never made me face it alone. You stood by me, supported me, and many times gave me your love and strength when I had none. You've become my voice of reason, my pillar of strength, my never ending source of understanding and love. As I stand here today, before our friends and family and pledge my never ending love to you, I want you to know, Joseph, that you are now will for ever be my Superman.
