Our Vows
Here are the vows we wrote. They are in the form of a villanelle. No doubt you can see why it would appeal to a villain such as myself!
We alternated verses; I started and he finished. After memorizing and practicing many many times, I still flubbed one line. Not everyone could hear us, so it didn't really matter. Honestly, the vows were for us and not for the guests anyhow.

Rest with your dream in my dream
I will hold you to me in deep hours of night
Where our love, in darkness, gleams
Nothing may be what it seems
I will ever guide your course aright
Rest with your dream in my dream
Thinking upon dark and dark themes
I will spirit you from empty twilight
Where our love, in sadness, gleams
The city echoes with despairing screams
I will bring you solace and banish fright
Rest with your dream in my dream
Though the flesh with illness teems
I will heal you in days of blight
Where our love, in sickness, gleams
False treasures gain but fools' esteem
Only with the heart can one see right
Rest with your dream in my dream
Where our love, in madness, gleams

Love you, my Minou!
