"________, I choose you
for the way your smile lifts my spirit,
for the way you support and respect me,
and for the way you make me feel about us.

I promise to share with you
all my hopes, fears, and dreams.
I promise to nurture your spirit
as I nurture my own.
I will keep laughing with you,
learning with you,
and growing with you.
I will faithfully care fo you
with an open heart and with tenderness.

I promise to be there for you,
to warm your toes through the coldest nights,
I promise to remind you of how great you are,
just as I did on our first date.

I promise to be at your side in sorrow and in joy
and to love and cherish you always.
I promise you this from my heart
and with my soul
as I dedicate myself to our marriage,
our friendship, and our life together."
