I, _____, ask you, _____, to be my husband/wife as my friend and my love.
On this day I affirm the relationship we have enjoyed, looking to the future
to deepen and strengthen it.
I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph.
Together we will dream, will stumble but restore each other, we will share all things,
serving each other and our fellow humanity.
I will cherish and respect you, comfort and encourage you, be open with you,
and stay with you as long as we shall live, freed and bound by our Love.
