Example #4

Groom to Bride: , Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. Do you accept this, my marriage vow to you?

Bride to Groom: I do

Bride to Groom: , I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages; let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. Let us rest every night together and wake every morning together. Do you accept this, my marriage vow to you?

Groom to Bride: I do

Example #5

Groom to Bride: Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. As we unite as husband and wife our strength as one is blessed by God. Will you be my wife?

Bride to Groom: I will

Bride to Groom: My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. Will you be my husband?

Groom to Bride: I will

Example #6

Groom to Bride: We promised to love for richer and for poorer-and it has come to pass. We’ve known plentiful times and lean times; we have loved through both.

Bride to Groom : We promised to love in sickness and in health — and it has come to pass. We’ve been strong and we’ve been weak. We’ve each had our turn to take care of the other. We have given and received comfort.

Groom to Bride: We promised to love for better and for worse and that, too, has come to pass.

Bride to Groom: Our love has made the good times better and the bad times bearable.

Groom to Bride: Fifty years ago, we promised to spend our lifetimes together. We were filled with hopes and dreams and youthful anticipation. Today I thank you for making those hopes and dreams come true.

Bride to Groom: Thank you for the years of joy for the laughter and the hugs and the unfailing, supportive love.

Groom to Bride: We promised to love, and it has come to pass.
