The Vow

Paige: I have this theory, that a girl is guaranteed to get preggers if she does it in a car.

Leo: [voiceover] I have a theory too. My theory is about moments, moments of impact. My theory is that these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down, actually end up defining who were are. One of my absolute favorite moments.

Leo: [voiceover] The things is, each one of us is the sum total of every moment we've ever experienced. With all the people we've ever known. And it's these moments that become our history, like our own personal greatest hits of memories that we play and replay in our minds over and over again.

Paige: I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they're not. To agree to disagree on red velvet cake and to live within the warmth of your heart, and always call it home.

Leo: I vow to fiercely love you in all your fullness, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love, and to always know in the deepest part of the soul that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we'll always find a way back to each other.

Leo: [voiceover] So that's my theory. That these moments of impact define who we are. But what I never considered, was what if one day you could no longer remember any of it?

Leo: Oh my god. First date and you're already inviting yourself to stay the night. That's just a little scandalous.

Leo: [voiceover] A moment of impact. A moment of impact holds potential for change, has ripple effects for beyond what we can predict. Sending some particles crashing together, making them closer than before. While sending others, spinning off together in great adventures, landing where you'd thought we'd never find them. You see, that's- that's the thing about moments like these. You can't, no matter how hard you try, control how they're going to affect you. You just got to let the particles land where they may and wait until the next collision.

Paige: [voiceover] I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they're not. To agree to disagree on red velvet cake and to live within the warmth of your heart, and always call it home.
