Our Vows

His to me

My darling, my friend,  my love...
You are my heart's joy.
As I stand here beside you this day,
I offer you the very heart of me,
Filled with unconditional and everlasting love.
Love bears all things, endures all things,
Believes all things, and never fails.
And I do love you...mind, body, and soul.
I have faith in you and believe in our love.
This makes life worth living.
As I look into your beautiful face,
I may hold today a man of higher purpose,
For one's virtue is a man's greatest glory.
Today I take you as my wife, and commit myself to you
And you alone.
From this day forward may we love one another
As God loves the church.

Mine to him

I promise to be here for you when you need me,
Letting you choose your own path,
Giving you space to be a man.
I will do my best to understand you,
Even when it is hard I will trust you,
Supporting you as your wife and best friend.
I swear to love you when it hurts, forgiving you,
Forgetting the past, and praying for tomorrow.
I promise to stand up for you, defending you
When I have my doubts, fighting on your side...
On your team.
Before God, on this day, I promise to be truthful,
Respectful, compassionate, and faithful.
Everyday I will do all that I can to prove my love for you
Putting you first,  second only to the Lord,
Praying for you and honoring you.
As my husband, my heart and soul,
You and I together with the father,
Now and forever...unified...as one.
