We take our vows
today, we will be changed forever, and I take them gladly, and
without reservation.
I promise to honor
you, believe in you, protect you and do everything in my power to
make your life happy and fulfilled. This is my promise. Take my
hand as we go with joy into our new life together. (a)
Since I have
found you, I have found a new life. The decision to commit to share
that life with you is one I make happily and with full confidence in
our love. Secure in the knowledge that you will be my constant
friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love.
On this special
day, I give to you in the presence of God and all these witnesses my
pledge to stay by your side, in sickness and in health, in joy and
in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love
you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage
you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you,
grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with
you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live. Because I
love and cherish you. (b)
I am proud to
marry you this day. I promise to wipe away your tears with my
laughter, and your pain with my caring and my compassion. We will
wipe out the old canvases of our lives and let God,
with His amazing
artistic talent, fill them with new color, harmony and beauty. I
give myself to you completely, and I promise to love you always,
from this day forth. (c)
Because
of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again. I look forward with
great joy to spending the rest of my life with you, caring for you,
nurturing you, being there for you in all life has for us, and I vow
to be true and faithful for as long as we both shall live. (d)
Today, as I give
myself to you my mind is clear and my commitment is strong and
without reservation. I take you to be my life's partner. I will
never leave you nor forsake you; I will spend all my days at your
side. We will share a lifetime of eternal, immeasurable love. (e)
I commit myself
to years of growth and sharing as I encourage you to move in new
direction.
I will strive to
achieve my potential as God's creature and will celebrate your
progress toward the same goal. I give myself as I am and as I will
be, and I do it for all of life. (f)
Respecting each
other, we commit to live our lives together for all the days to
come.
I ask you to share
this world with me, for good and ill. Be my partner, and I will be
yours. (g)
