Wedding Vows by S.M. Davis

If you (man) and you (woman) have freely and deliberately chosen each other as partners
for life, would you please join right hands.

(Man) in taking the woman whom you hold by the right hand to be your lawful and wedded wife, do you pledge to her your complete loyalty, devotion, love, & affection; and do you pledge to give special honor to her as unto the weaker vessel; to dwell with her according to knowledge and understanding; and forsaking all others, to keep only to her lest you sin against God and blaspheme His Holy name?

(Woman) in taking this man who holds you by the right hand, do you pledge to him your complete loyalty, devotion, love, and affection; will you strive to be a crown to his life and acknowledge him gladly as the head of your home, and forsaking all others, to keep only to him lest you sin against God and blaspheme His holy name?


And do you both solemnly swear that you will never seek to end this marriage in a Court of Law by divorce?

We Do!


VOWS:

(Man)
“I, _______________ take thee, ____________________, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better...for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and give myself for you, as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for it; to protect and praise you.....til by God by death alone do us part.”



(Woman)
“I, _________________, take thee ________________ to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better...for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and submit, as the church is subject unto Christ; to obey and reverence...til God by death alone do us part.”
