Vows

I, (name), take you, (name) to be my best friend and partner, and my love – for my whole life to come.

Each day of my life, I promise you honesty, respect, trust, and a love that will withstand the test of time – changing and growing with everything we learn and share.

I vow to honor and respect you for all that you are and will become, taking pride in who we are, both separately and together.

I promise to challenge you, and to accept your challenges to me.  Above all, I will give you my love freely and unconditionally.

I pledge this to you from the bottom of my heart, for all the days of our lives.

I (name) take you (name) to be my (husband / wife), my partner in life and my one true love.

I promise to be faithful and honest in every way, to respect you as an equal and recognize that your interest, desires and needs are as important as mine.

I promise to laugh with you when times are good, and endure and comfort you when they are bad.

I can’t wait to begin our journey together, getting to know the (man / woman) you will become, and falling in love a little more every day.

Today I give you my hand, my heart, and my love without condition, completely and forever.

I love you. You are my best friend.
Today I give myself to you in marriage.
I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you,
and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
when life seems easy and when it seems hard,
when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.
I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard
These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.

I, (name), take you, (name), to be my lawfully wedded husband/wife, 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 those in attendance, my solemn promise to stay by your side as your devoted wife, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad. I further promise to love and adore you without reservation, honor and respect you, 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, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

I promise to cherish our time together as much as I cherished those times together when we were apart;

I promise to continue to challenge myself so that our relationship may continue to grow for many years to come;

I promise to approach every day that we are together with the same excitement and positivity as I did when we first met; and lastly

I promise that no matter what each day brings — be it sunny or gray, happy or sad, calm or angry — to never lose sight of my love and care for you, and to never forget to express this to you.

I (name), receive you, (name), as my true love. And I give to you my unconditional love in return. You are my best friend, my partner, my hero, my family, and I am so grateful that we are standing here together today.

I promise I will always hear you when you need to be heard. I promise that I’ll be strong when you need someone to lean on. And I promise to be honest, loyal, kind, generous and caring with you, every day (even on difficult days).

I will do my best to make you laugh, even when you don’t want to. I support all of your dreams and desires because I know you have a greater purpose in mind.  I look forward to every moment with you and cherish every moment that has passed. I am the luckiest (girl/guy) in the world, and I love you.

I’ll never forget the day we first met, who I was before I met you, and who I’ve become since being with you. I’ve learned so much from you. You make me want to be a better wife/husband. You have become not just my lover and companion, but also my best friend. I promise to love and cherish you, with faithfulness, I’ll be there in times of need, to make you laugh and to support you through all of life’s challenges. I will hold you to the highest respect, and honor you as you so deserve for the rest of my life. Thank you for standing here with me today. I love you.

As I stand here today looking into your beautiful eyes, I want to tell you how much I love you, in the best way that words will allow me to express such a powerful thing. I knew you’d turn up when I least expected. It was almost like you were ready for me, and we breathed a sigh of relief when we met each other and realized our love for each other. You and I, we’re adventurers. There is nobody else I would rather have by my side, exploring the planet.

Together, we will learn so much more about ourselves, about love, and our families. I know that even learning more about our differences will bring us closer together. Through the known and unknown, I promise to always keep you by my side and look out for you.

I will always remind you how beautiful/handsome you are. (to guests: Doesn’t she/he look beautiful?) I will always encourage you in everything that you do and desire, and help you find a path to take when you’ve lost your way.

There are really no words that can fully exemplify how much I love you. I show it by standing here with you today, as your husband/wife. I am the luckiest man/girl in the world.

Thank you for being my wife/husband. I love you.

Today I choose you to be my wife/husband, my best friend, my partner, and my lifelong companion. To stand by your side and sleep in your arms. To be a joy to your heart and food for your soul. To laugh with you, cry with you, grow with you, and create with you. To honor the divinity in you, of you, and around you. I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself. I promise to respect you and cherish you as an individual, a partner, and an equal. I promise to honor these words all my life and to look back on them often for guidance and purpose as we build our lives together.

I promise never to forget the commitment I make to you today. You are the best thing to ever happen to me and you are the blessing of my life. My commitment to you is absolute. May we have many adventures and grow old together. Forever I devote my love and my life to you from this day forward.

“This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you.” ~ Paulo Coelho.

(name), I take you to be my best friend, my faithful partner, and my one true love.

I promise: to help you love life, to appreciate you always, to give you endless hugs and laughter, to watch football with you on Sundays, to stand beside you wherever life takes us and through everything life brings us, to walk our dog when you need rest, to dream with you, to be patient, to encourage, support and inspire you, to treasure every moment that we are together, to speak when words are needed and share the silence when they are not, to trust and value your opinions, and stand by your actions.

May we always find strength in one another and continue to grow side by side. I will spend my days loving you, through the sunshine and the rain. Your love is inspiring to me.

You are the kindest, most sincere person I have ever known. I promise to never take your love for granted and always respect you. I will be there to laugh with you, to lift you up, and to love you unconditionally through all of our adventures in life together.
