summer afternoon, you'll probably find them sharing lemonade under the shade of that same old oak tree.
''__________________, this is our happy day, the day we have been looking forward to for so long, the day we become husband and wife, united through Christ, in holy matrimony. I know that our deep and abiding love for each other comes from God above, for God
is
love, and I know that this love is to be nurtured, cherished and developed every day as we draw closer to each other and ever closer to God. This is a sacred moment in our lives because marriage is holy and I enter the estate of marriage with great reverence. I promise to be your pillar of strength and your haven from harm, your protector and your greatest supporter, and I will be your true and faithful husband / wife for all the days of our lives."
"I promise to be a faithful husband/wife, to care for you in loving devotion, to be your strength when you are in need, to be your counselor in your perplexity, to be your comfort in sorrow, to be your companion in joy. I promise to pray for you, uphold you and defend you and to seek your forgiveness if I should ever hurt you in any way. I make this vow before God and these witnesses."
"__________________, you are God's perfect gift to me, an unspeakable blessing to my life. In my wildest dreams I could have never imagined someone as dear

and precious as you, someone I could love so deeply and with such total devotion. Just as God gave Eve to Adam as his helpmate, so that he would be complete, so God has given you to me. I vow to try, with God's help, to be everything He wants me to be for you: your comforter, your helper, your encourager, your provider and your servant. As we begin our life together today as husband and wife, I gladly lay down all my rights, so that I can be to you everything you need. May God bless our marriage and make us pleasing to Him."
"__________________, I take you as my lawfully wedded husband/wife and I hereby pledge myself to be faithful, an example of Christ's love in our home, that our lives together as a married couple may be a sign of His love and concern for the world. I give myself wholly to you this hour and I promise to guard, cherish and protect you all the days of my life."
"I, __________________, take you, __________________, as my cherished wedded husband. 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 you 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. As God created Eve for Adam, so I shall be a helper to you always, from this day forth and for as long as we both shall live."
