you as my wife/husband; may our love grow deeper every day of our marriage, and as the days grow to weeks, and the weeks to months, and the months to years, may we never forget this joyous day and the vows of commitment we are pledging to each other.

Valentine's Day:
"It is fitting that we marry on Valentine's Day, the most romantic clay of the year, when lovers celebrate their love; truly, we celebrate our love today as our hearts are joined in holy, sacred matrimony.

From this day forward, you are in my heart and I am in yours; our hearts are intertwined and nothing will ever separate us."
New Year's Eve or Day:

Take my hand (takes bride's/groom's hand) and walk with me into the new year and into our new life as my husband/wife. I give you my heart and everything that I am as we begin our lives together, united as one flesh."
Christmas Eve or Day:
