Charity and Howie were married on the same deck where they declared their love to each other. The Sailing Sunset will forever hold a place in their memories for more reasons than one. As the sun was setting, Howie recited his hand-written vows to Charity:

"I love you. Not just for who you are, but for who I am when I'm with you. I love you, not for what you've done with your life...but for what you're doing to mine. I love you for making me good...and happy. And whole. Because that is what you do, Charity. Without a word. Without a gesture. Without a doubt. Just by being yourself. Such a simple thing...but no one else in the world could do it. Only you." He said, as he slipped the wedding band on Charity's finger.

Charity begins her vows, trying to control her crying. "You asked me, "What gift can I give you, to prove that my love for you is true? Wanna make you mine forever. There's nothing on this earth I would not do." I said, "Everything that I've wanted, you have given willingly. But now there's nothing more I need. I take you Howie, not as my husband, but as my friend, my best friend. You are my soulmate. You have shown me what it means to be loved, not just halfway, or with conditions, but unconditionally. You have given me hope, trust, honesty, and all you asked in return was to be loved. What you don't know is you have given me so much more. You have given me your heart and soul completely, and I give you mine. I promise to love you, cherish you, in sickness and health, for better or for worse. I take you as my lover, my friend, and as my husband, long after death parts us." They then left for their two month honeymoon in Spain.

Brian and I had a simple ceremony on his parents' farm in Lexington. We had all of our closest friends and family with us on this wonderful occasion. Brian wrote part of his vows, but still decided to use the traditional vows.

"Before I met you, Dawn, my life was empty and aimless. I moved around, looking for adventure, and never letting myself care about anyone else. Then I found you, my angel. Suddenly, my life has meaning and purpose, and I learned the true meaning of happiness. I realized I wouldn't be happy until you and I were one. For me, Dawn, marriage is so much more than being together in sickness and in health. For me, marriage is being the best husband, the best father, the best person that I can be everyday that we're together, always. I love you. I love you with all my heart. I can only hope that I can prove myself worthy".

I am crying, trying to speak. "I prepared my own vows as well, but after hearing yours--which were so beautiful and heartfelt--mine just don't seem right anymore. It's time you all knew the truth. When I wrote my vows earlier....I tried to picture how I would feel standing up here with you, about to committ myself to you, for life. But nothing prepared me for this moment--the love I feel for you. None of the words I planned seem right. I could never describe to you or my friends or family how much you mean to me; you're more than a dream come true, Brian. You're my heart, my soul, my life."

"With this ring, I thee wed. Through good times and bad, my love for you sustaining us both, never dying, always growing," he says as he is slipping the ring on my hand.

"With this ring, I thee wed. A circle of love burning brightly, I will always protect you and cherish you." I say, proudly, putting his wedding ring on his hand. Brian and I honeymooned in Hawaii for six weeks, because of the group recording their new album.

Charity and I look forward to our visits on the road with Howie and Brian, and the rest of the guys. We all have a fun time on the road, telling stories about concerts, meet and greets, and backstage hysteria.

Who would have ever dreamed life would be this great?
