"Thank you, _______________, for being such a kind, nurturing, loving husband / wife and father / mother. I am so grateful to have found you at such a young age, and that our friendship grew into a love that committed itself to a lifelong marriage. After _________ years of living with you, loving you, and appreciating you, my love for you has deepened and matured, and today, as we stand before our family to reaffirm our wedding vows, I do so with a heart that is overflowing with my love for you, my cherished husband / wife. I give you every measure of myself, committing myself to you anew, as we look forward to the wonderful, challenging years yet in store for us as a married couple."
Woman to her husband: "When I was a young woman, I had dreams of being married someday, and when you came along, you were truly my Knight in Shining Armor. After _______ years of marriage, I can honestly say, as God is my witness, that you have been all I could have imagined or hoped for: my lover, my companion, my friend, my nurturer, my comforter, my playmate, and a model father. I am so lucky to have found you and I pray to be worthy of such a man; today, as we celebrate our anniversary, I gladly and joyfully take you again as my husband and I promise anew, as I vowed on our wedding day, to love and respect you, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, for better or worse, until death do us part. Thank you for being my Knight in Shining Armor."

"____________________, thank you for your love and your faithfulness to me all these years. It's easy to love someone at first, when we look our best, say the right thing, and are always on our best behavior; but you have seen me at my absolute worst, and still you love me, which makes me love you all the more. Thank you for always being there for me, in every way, and thank you for all you will be to me in the years to come. I pledge again to you this day to love you for the rest of our days."
"Twenty-five years ago today we took our wedding vows, and though many things have changed in our lives since then, one thing has remained constant: our love. We had babies and watched them grow up; we built three homes and sold them; we've moved 12 times; we've owned 17 cars; we've suffered through times of illness and times when the paycheck didn't stretch to pay the bills. But through it all, my love for you has remained; in fact, although it seems impossible, I believe I love you more every year we are married. I'm so glad I married you that day 25 years ago, and I gladly renew my wedding vows this day. I promise to love you, honor you, cherish and keep you, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, for all the years of our lives. ___________________, I want you to know that whatever may face us in the years to come, I will always love you."
