Vow(el)s

As I was reading a beautiful book called Blueberry Girl tonight to my kids, Cortlan asked, "Did you have to read a poem like this and hope it came true?"

"What?" I asked, confused as to what he was talking about.

"I mean for your wedding.  Did you read a poem like this for your wedding?"

"Oh, no.  But Daddy and I did read our vows," I responded.

Then, Everly piped in, as serious as ever. "What were they?  A, E, I, O, U?"
