\u2028”I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love.
\u2028I will always be honest with you, kind, and patient and forgiving.
\u2028I promise to try to be on time.
\u2028But most of all, I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you.
\u2028I love you.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”You are my lover and my teacher,
\u2028You are my model and my accomplice,
\u2028And you are my true counterpart.
\u2028I will love you, hold you and honor you,
\u2028I will respect you, encourage you and cherish you,
\u2028In health and sickness,
\u2028Through sorrow and success,
\u2028For all the days of my life.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise to be your lover, companion and friend,
\u2028Your partner in parenthood,
\u2028Your ally in conflict,
\u2028Your greatest fan and your toughest adversary.
\u2028Your comrade in adventure,
\u2028Your student and your teacher,
\u2028Your consolation in disappointment,
\u2028Your accomplice in mischief.
\u2028This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. All things.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I take you to be my partner for life
\u2028I promise above all else to live in truth with you
\u2028And to communicate fully and fearlessly,
\u2028I give you my hand and my heart
\u2028As a sanctuary of warmth and peace
\u2028And pledge my love, devotion, faith and honor
\u2028As I join my life to yours.”<\/p>\n
\u2028”On this day,
\u2028I give you my heart,
\u2028My promise,
\u2028That I will walk with you,
\u2028Hand in hand,
\u2028Wherever our journey leads us,
\u2028Living, learning, loving,
\u2028Together,
\u2028Forever.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together.
\u2028With my whole heart, I take you as my wife\/husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine.
\u2028I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family\u2019s love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person\u2014my love and my life, today and always.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise to encourage your compassion,
\u2028Because that is what makes you unique and wonderful.
\u2028I promise to nurture your dreams,
\u2028Because through them your soul shines.
\u2028I promise to help shoulder our challenges,
\u2028For there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together.
\u2028I promise to be your partner in all things,
\u2028Not possessing you, but working with you as a part of the whole.
\u2028Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust,
\u2028For one lifetime with you could never be enough.
\u2028This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible…. You have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I remember once how I told you I did not believe in soul mates. I will never forget your reaction. Shocked and a little hurt that I did not think we were. But as time went by, your love made me believe.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise to comfort you when the Falcons lose and drink beer with you when they win.”\n<\/p>\n
\u2028”You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I\u2019m the one who gets to marry you.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I will, in good times and bad, cheer for the Tar Heels.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise to buy taller shoes so you can wear heels.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I feel truly blessed because I\u2019ve found a love that transcends and grows, despite state lines, early morning commutes, barking beagles and conflicting seasons.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I see these vows not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”The feeling hit me the moment we made eye contact in class. It was so immediate and powerful\u2014far deeper and inexplicably beyond any calculation of time and place. You don\u2019t describe a feeling like that. You also can\u2019t replicate it or force it. You just let it flow in and around you. You go where it takes you.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise faithfulness and patience, respect and lightheartedness, attentiveness and self-improvement. I will celebrate your triumphs, and love you all the more for your failures.”\n<\/p>\n
\u2028”Our open attitude toward finding adventure together in life is something that I cherish. I love it even more when those great experiences take the form of us making up a home-cooked meal together with a lot of great wine and music. I would marry you for your risotto alone!”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I call you \u2018My Megan\u2019 because you are my everything. You are my light, and you\u2019ve shown me more love than I\u2019ve ever known.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise to hold your hand every night and to never let us lose our spark.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I\u2019ve always had goals, aspirations, things I wanted to do. But when I met you, I learned what it was to dream. You dreamed of traveling, but not just out of the state; you dreamed of visiting Spain,\u00a0 Italy\u00a0 and places I\u2019ve only read about. I\u2019ve learned to dream of the things I deserve.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I vow to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share in the silence when they are not.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”Until today, the day that I told you I loved you, the day that I knew I was going to marry you, that was the best day of my life.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”I promise to be your navigator, consoler, sidekick, best friend and your husband. Finally, I promise you myself.”\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
\u2028”In sickness and in health: I promise to take care of you, even when you\u2019ve over indulged the night before. For richer or for poorer: I promise not to spend all our money at Nordstrom.”<\/p>\n
