I Commit To You Vows
I, N., take you, N.,
to be my wife and companion of my days.
We shall bear together whatever of sorrow and adversity
life may place upon us and share together
whatever of joy and fulfillment
life may hold in store.
I commit my life to you;
a commitment made in love,
kept in faith, lived in hope
and eternally made anew.
I pledge to you a life of giving and of hoping,
of growing and of loving.
I shall be with you
in your laughter and in tears,
just as I shall bring to you
my own joys and my own sorrows.
You will be my partner,
from now on.
- OR -
I, N., take you, N.,
to be no other than yourself.
Loving what I know of you,
trusting what our future will bring to us.
What so ever life may bring to you,
I will be at your side,
for all the risings and settings of the sun,
for all the days of fullness and in challenging times.
In the foreknowledge of joy and pain,
strength and weariness,
I pledge myself to deepening in love
and understanding as the years go by.
I commit to do all I can
to make our shared life one of
friendship and love.
