SAMPLE VOWS

Civil

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the presence of nature, and before these friends and family, to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony, which is an honorable and beautiful estate, and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but instead with love, respect, friendship, and honor. Into this estate these two persons present come now to be joined.

___________________, will you have this woman to be your wedded wife, to live together as man and wife? To be your friend and companion? Will you love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, remain faithful to your love for her, so long as you both shall live?

___________________, will you have this man to be your wedded husband, to live together as man and wife? To be your friend and companion? Will you love him, comfort him, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, remain faithful in your love for him, so long as you both shall live?

Who gives this woman to be married to this man?

I, _________________, take you, _____________________ to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, and to cherish, until death do us part.
