''Every experience we have ever had, everything we have ever done, everything we have ever learned, has brought us to this moment when we stand before these witnesses to take each other as husband and wife. As we confront the future together, I promise to stand by your side, as we face new experiences as man and wife, always growing together, honoring, respecting and cherishing each other through all life has in store for us. We bring our individual strengths and weaknesses to this marriage, but as we stand together as a married couple, may we complement each other and be exactly what each other needs as our love and commitment continue to deepen throughout our married life."
"You have filled my world with meaning; you have made me stronger and more fulfilled as a person, and I thank God for bringing you to me. You have made me so happy and my heart rejoices in the anticipation of spending the rest of my life with you. Thank you for taking me as I am, loving me and welcoming me into your heart. I don't deserve such love, but I am eternally grateful. I stand here today before these witnesses and take you as my wife / husband. I promise to return your love in full, as we grow together as man and wife. I promise to always love you, to be faithful to you and to cherish and respect you, in all the circumstances that may come to us in our married life."
