As I tidied up some old files a few weeks ago, I came across the marriage vow that Bonny and I typed out for our vow exchange on 16th December 1995. This was his vow to me, "I, Wilfred Gilfillan Khalil, take thee my dearest, Kim-Lang, as my lawful wedded wife; I commit myself to your happiness and your self-fulfillment as a person, and to your usefulness in God's Kingdom; and I promise to love and to cherish, to honour and to trust, to sustain and to serve you in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth,, in adversity and prosperity, and to be true and loyal to you. I promise to be your faithful husband, a loving father to our children, your lover and your very best friend as long as we both shall live."
Except the part on being loving father to our children that he could not fulfil since the Lord did not bless us with children, he had fulfilled all that he vowed to me on that day. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with a loving husband who was true to his words.
