This is from the last episode of season 3. Preston Burke is preparing to marry Christina Yang. Preston decides to try out his wedding vows to his room full of female coworkers- in the middle of open heart surgery no less. If you are ever wondering what speaking from your heart really sounds like, you should take a cue from Preston...
"Christina, I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say till death do us part. But I won’t. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here, on my wedding day, optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. And I know. I am a heart man. I take them apart. I put them back together. I hold them in my hands. I… am a heart man. So this, I am sure, you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you… me.”
I don't know about you guys, but, how much more heart felt can you be? These are some of the most beautiful vows I have ever heard- and I have been to a million weddings. These vows are pretty much a showstopper!
