Vows and Verses

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

The sun smiles on us today,
our wedding day, and how can it not,
for our love is stronger than forever
and our hearts beat together as one.
I promise to be a true and faithful partner
from this day forward,
in all life's circumstances,
as we face them together.
In the joys and sorrows,
the good times and bad,
in sickness or in health,
I will always be there for you,
to comfort you, love you,
honor and cherish you, now and forevermore.

The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved.

I acknowledge my love for you and invite you
to share my life as I hope to share yours.
I promise to walk by your side,
to love, help and encourage you.
I vow to take time to share with you,
to listen and to care.
I will share your laughter and your tears
as your partner, lover and friend.
I promise always to respect you and
honor you as an individual and to be
conscious of your needs.
I shall seek through kindness and
compassion to achieve with you
the life we have planned together.

Love is a great beautifier.

I commit my love to you this day
for as long as we both shall live;
this love is the very flame of
God and may no man dare to quench it.
I promise to be faithful to you, to nurture you,
to cherish you and encourage you, with the same
care and concern that I give myself.
I promise to help you become the person
our Lord has intended you to be, and
throughout our lifetime together,
you will always be my beloved
and my best friend.

Love and you shall be loved.

I promise to love you with an unselfish devotion.
I will care for you with tenderness and
I will always seek to strengthen you,
comfort you, encourage you and hold you up
daily in prayer before our Heavenly Father.
I pledge you my faithfulness and
eternal love from this day forward.

It is easy to love people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

It is the greatest desire of my heart
to be faithful to you and to love you always,
seeking to meet your every need,
desiring to help in every way,
listening to you, encouraging you,
comforting you and standing by your side
in whatever circumstances may
face us in the years ahead.
I will respect you, honor you and
strive for harmony in our marriage
with a quiet and gentle spirit.

The best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts, Of kindness and of love.

I hereby pledge myself to be faithful.
I give myself wholly to you this hour and
I promise to guard, cherish and protect you
all the days of my life.

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

From this day forward I promise you these things.
I will laugh with you in times of joy and comfort you in times of sorrow.
I will share in your dreams, and support you as you strive to achieve your goals.
I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement.
I will help you when you need it, and step aside when you don't.
I will remain faithful to you for better or worse, in times of sickness and health.
You are my best friend and I will love and respect you always.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

I <bride/groom>, take you <bride/groom>, to be my <husband/wife>,
knowing in my heart that you will be my constant friend,
my faithful partner, and my one true love.

A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude.

I have finally discovered the meaning of real love.
For as long as I live I will love, respect and honor you.
I will be committed to self-growth and to the growth of our relationship.
I promise to be honest and to communicate my needs and feelings,
just as I promise to listen to yours.
I will be faithful to you in mind, body, and spirit.
I will be your fiend and life partner no matter what life brings to us.
Today I pledge my commitment to you.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

I stand before you because you have
won my heart through your graciousness.
You are my life partner,
the one I pledge my life and love to.
From this day forward,
I promise to love, respect, and honor you.
I will listen to you, and
be open and honest with you.
I will be your trusted partner and
stand by you through good times and bad.
I promise this now and for all the days of my life.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

In the sight of God's love, and the
presence of our families and friends,
I give to you friendship and trust,
guidance and support, love and compassion,
promising to be faithful and understanding
for as long as we both shall live.

There is no remedy for love than to love more.

I promise to give you the best of myself and
to ask of you no more than you can give.
I promise to accept you the way you are.
I fell in love with you for the qualities,
abilities, and outlook on life that you have,
and won't try to reshape you in a different image.
I promise to respect you as a person with
your own interests, desires, and needs, and
to realize that those are sometimes different,
but no less important than my own.
I promise to keep myself open to you, to
let you see through the window of my personal world
into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.
I promise to grow along with you,
to be willing to face change as we both change in
order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.
And finally, I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
with all I have to give and all I feel inside
in the only way I know how... completely and forever.

If you want to be loved, love and be loveable.

On this special day, I give to you in the presence of God,
my promise to stand by your side,
in sickness and health, in joy and in sorrow,
as well as through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love you without reservation,
to honor and respect you,
to comfort and support you each and every day,
to laugh with you and cry with you,
to grow with you in mind and spirit,
to always be open and honest with you, and
to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind...

I take you to be my lifetime partner,
secure in the knowledge that you will be
my constant friend, and my one true love.

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.

On this special day,
I give to you in the presence of God
and all these witnesses
my promise 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.
