Wedding Vows
These are the vows we will be using. We had found a set of Christian vows online that we liked, but asked our church vicar (pastor-in-training, and who we are working on to design our service) to write up some as well. Once we had hers, we tweaked and added and subtracted and combined to get the vows below:
In the name of God, I Brittany Lynn, take you Brian Lewis, to be my husband for all time. With God’s mercy and help, I will faithfully love and trust you in every circumstance: whether we are together or apart; at peace or in turmoil; in sickness and in health; in the best and worst of times, today, tomorrow, and forever.
I will seek always to honor your dreams and goals. Throughout the joys and challenges ahead I will remain always by your side, supporting and loving you, through laughter and tears, as we grow and develop into all that God intends. From the depth of my being, I will seek to be open and honest with you, cherishing you and giving you my life to keep as my one true love.
VOWS ARE COPYRIGHT AND OWNED BY KAREN LARSON, BRITTANY PRICE, and BRIAN WASHBURN. Please request before using!
