Caitlin McGree responded to a fellow TikTok user asking "what does it mean when you say 'marriage is hard'?" with her own thoughts on marriage, then got us all weepy as she read her husband's beautifully-written vows.

"I didn't sit back and take inventory of your qualities and say 'This one ticks all the boxes, done.' I was drawn to you and profoundly lucky that you were drawn to me. And we started something that we still work on everyday, that gets deeper and wrinklier everyday. I hope that doesn't sound unromantic, calling it work.

I don't mean work like drudgery; an early morning commute, and stale coffee and watching the clock. I mean work the way artists talk about paintings as vital and prioritized. It's the most important work of my life, our partnership, and I cherish it.

Also, to be clear, I am hopelessly in love with you. That helps. I am, on a daily basis, completely knocked over by the person in front me: this kitchen-dancing, ABBA-humming, tye-dye party-throwing, camp counselor that I get to spend my life with. It's just that life is long and I know that loving well is a thing you do, not a lottery you win."
