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.
