Traditional Vows: Sample

________, repeat after me:

I love you ...........You are my best friend.

Today I give myself to you in marriage.

I promise to encourage and inspire you.

To laugh with you, and to comfort you

in times of sorrow and struggle.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
