Classic Wedding Vows

Many of these vows from Western Christian religions are very similar to each other but are timeless expressions of love.
 
 
Baptist
  • "Will you, ________, have ________ to be your wife/husband? Will you love her/him, comfort and keep her/him, and forsaking all other remain true to her/him as long as you both shall live?"
  • "I will."
  • "With this ring I thee wed, and all my worldly goods I thee endow. In sickness and in health, in poverty or in wealth, till death do us part."
 
Episcopalian
  • "In the name of God, I, ________, take you ________, to be my wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow."
 
Latter Day Saints
  • "Brother/Sister ________, do you take Sister/Brother ________ by the right hand and receive her/him unto yourself to be your lawful and wedded wife/husband for time and all eternity, with a covenant and promise that you will observe and keep all the laws, rites, and ordinances pertaining to his Holy Order of Matrimony in the New and Everlasting Covenant, and this you do in the presence of God, angels, and these witnesses of your own free will and choice?"
 
Lutheran
  • "I, ________, take you, ________ to be my wife/husband, and these things I promise you: I will be faithful to you and honest with you; I will respect, trust, help, and care for you; I will share my life with you; I will forgive you as we have been forgiven; and I will try with you better to understand ourselves, the world, and God; through the best and the worst of what is to come as long as we live."
 
Roman Catholic
  • "I, ________, take you ________, to be my husband/wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honour you all the days of my life."
