I love how traditional and classic these vows are but the promises mean something. Thine, Lawfully Wedded, on this holy day, reaffirm and affirm to you all those that serve as witnesses here today and not, my pledge and sacred promise, faithful, promise. Love how supportive you are pledging to be and commit to unconditional love.
