Most of all, it symbolizes love: joyous love, total and complete. Such a love is what I feel for you. I take your hand in mine —- for this hour, for this day, for this lifetime.(Peg Kehret)
Today is a day of memories. We are remembering our childhoods; we are remembering, with gratitude, all that our parents have done to prepare us to lead independent and useful lives. We remember, too, the day we met. We remember our first dates and the way our courtship progressed. Now we begin to build new kinds of memories. From this day on, our lives will fuse in a new way and our memories will be not of you and of me, but of us. I promise that I will do all that I can to make your future memories happy ones. I hope you'll look back and remember today as the best day of your life. (Peg Kehret)
I want to tell you some of the reasons why I love you. I love you because you are gentle. In a world full of violence, you dare to be tender. You are not ashamed to cry and you have great empathy for all living creatures. I love you because you are optimistic. You see the good in every situation and you manage always to look for the positive and overlook the negative. I love you because you like to have fun. You aren't afraid to act silly. You laugh and your laughter brings smiles to everyone around. I love you because you are loyal. You refuse to gossip about your friends. I can trust you to keep my secrets. You believe in me and your belief makes it possible for me to achieve far more than I ever could otherwise. I love you in more ways than I can ever hope to mention. Most of all, I love you because you are the one person with whom I can be totally myself. You have accepted me as I am. I will try, in every way possible, to make you as happy as you have made me. (Peg Kehret)
I do not speak easily of love. Especially before an audience. Love is private and personal and not meant to be discussed casually, even with friends. But today I choose to speak publicly of my love for you. I am announcing my feelings to our families and friends. I am saying in front of all the people who are most important to both of us, "I love you, (name)." Because a public promise seems somehow more important and more binding than a private one, I want all of these witnesses to hear it. I promise to do all in my power to keep our love as fresh and strong as it is today. I will be faithful to you, not only with my body but with my mind. I will try always to put the good of our marriage first in my life. (Peg Kehret)
From this day on, our lives are intertwined. I will do all that I can to shield you from hurt and disappointment. I will never expect you to meet all of my needs. Rather, I will meet my own needs so that I can be for you a whole person. I will nurture you when you need care. I will cheer for you when you attempt new endeavors. I will believe in you when others may doubt. Most of all, I will love you-for today and for all of our tomorrows. (Peg Kehret)
I will try never to do anything which will embarrass you for I want you always to be proud of me and of our relationship. I will care for my body so that my good health will be an asset to our relationship. I will strive for intellectual growth so that 1 may be an interesting and mentally stimulating companion. I will try always to make you feel special for you are, indeed, special to me in a way that no one has ever been before. It is this uniqueness which I cherish above all else. It is what brings a smile to my lips when I think of you; it is what puts meaning in my life. Having known your love, I would now be only a caricature of myself if I had to be without it. Your faith in me gives me faith in myself. Your pleasure in me gives me confidence. Your love for me gives me a joy far deeper than I ever imagined possible. I promise that I will try in every way to be worthy of your love. (Peg Kehret)
I believe that we are soul mates. A love this strong can not be bound by the limitations of our physical bodies and will endure even separation by death. Therefore, I am not pledging my love until death do us part. Instead, I pledge it for all eternity in the belief that you and I will be together always. I make this vow gladly, confident that our love is strong enough to bind us together even if we should be separated physically. I pledge my love for you throughout this lifetime and for all the unknown, unseen lifetimes to come. Wherever or whomever we may be in the future, we will share this closeness. We have been together before -- we are together now -- we will be together always. (Peg Kehret)
We are surrounded today by the music of love. We know not what dischords may lie around the corner of next year but whatever they may be, love's harmony will overpower them. When I look at you, my heart sings and the most mundane phrases seem like lyrical masterpieces. You have become the melody of my life; the one theme which runs through all that I see or hear or do. We are surrounded today by the music of love. May it be only a prelude to the loving harmony of our life together. (Peg Kehret)
I promise to share with you the good times —- the evenings that are free for fun, the holidays when I have no obligations. I promise to share the bad times, too —- the disappointments and hurts, the secret fears I wouldn't dare to tell anyone else. I will not be afraid to trust you with my dreams and I vow never to make fun of yours. I will try to be supportive of whatever brings you fulfillment. I will place a high priority on our relationship, putting your feelings above all others. Our time together will be important to me. I acknowledge that you are not a perfect human being, but neither am I and I promise to make allowances for imperfection. I promise always to be honest with you for I believe that love grows best when communication flourishes. (Peg Kehret)
I come gladly to this moment. We have already shared much of our lives and we know from experience that we get along well together. We have lived together, enjoying physical and emotional closeness. It has not been enough. Today I choose to make a deeper commitment to you, a legal and binding contract. It is my way of telling you that our experience together has been so good that I want it to continue for the rest of my life. I loved you before this ceremony. I love you more because of it. (Peg Kehret)
I have never loved anyone but you. You are my first love and my last. When a love is so special, so strong, so tender, it is not enough to whisper the words privately. And so today I speak them in public, for all to hear. I love you. I have loved you from the first time we met and I will love you always. You are everything I ever hoped to find in a partner and I feel extraordinarily lucky that you agreed to marry me. I promise to always try to make you proud of me. I will be the best person that it is possible for me to become because you deserve the best. I promise to be faithful to you. I will never knowingly deceive or hurt you. I will try to expand my mind and keep my body fit so I will be a person you continue to want to be with. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. (Peg Kehret)
Today is a new beginning. We are leaving behind our past lives and starting our new life together. I will leave behind as well any preconceived ideas of how you should act. I want our marriage to be a partnership in every way. I promise to share with you the mundane household chores as well as the excitement of stimulating ideas. I want for you that which brings you the greatest personal fulfillment. I promise to encourage and support you as you strive to attain the finest of which you are capable. (Peg Kehret)
Once only comes true love. Once only comes a feeling of empathy so strong and sure that it is an invisible lifeline between two souls. Such a love is demonstrated when each partner puts the loved one's happiness above all else. It shows when the permanent good of the partnership is more important than any temporary pleasure. It is manifest through loyalty, concern and a deep, abiding faith in the other person's integrity. Once only comes true love. Through you, it has come to me. (Peg Kehret)
When problems seem overwhelming, I think of you and I gain confidence. When secret, nighttime terrors shatter my peace of mind, I remember you and I am calmed. When loneliness threatens to overtake me, I need only ask and you are there. You give purpose to my days and joyous comfort to my nights. You are my reason for being. I offer you today the one gift that I give to no one else: I offer you my love. (Peg Kehret)
I have spent many hours searching for just the right way to say what is in my heart today. I've read poems and prose, thumbed through books of quotations and the thesaurus. I read of infatuation, adoration, romance and tenderness. I thought of endearment, passion, reverence and affection. I tried to describe my feelings for you in a dozen different ways but not matter how I expressed myself, it seemed inadequate. Finally I decided there are no words that are deep enough, meaningful enough, and exciting enough to ever verbalize the way I feel. And so, for lack of a better way, I am falling back on the simplest expression of them all. I love you. (Peg Kehret)
(Name), I take you now to be my [husband/wife). I promise to live with you, to trust you and to cherish you. I will love you when we are apart as well as when we are together, in good times and bad, in sickness and in health. I will work with you toward our common goals and share our leisure joyfully. I pledge myself now to be ever faithful to you with my body, my mind and my heart. (Peg Kehret)
When I was a child, I read a lot of fairy tales. Always in these stories the hero and heroine, after discovering their love for each other, rode off into the distance and "lived happily ever after." Just what that ever after entailed was never entirely clear to me but just as I accepted pumpkins changing into coaches, so I accepted the premise that, because they were in love, they would always be happy. I know now that happiness must come from inside myself and that no other person, no matter how beloved, can be totally responsible for making me happy. I do not expect you to fulfill all my dreams; I ask only that you share them with me. I do not anticipate that because we are together we'll never have any problems but I do believe that because we love each other we can solve whatever problems come along. I believe that a true marriage is not a ceremony but an on-going commitment and I 'm confident that, in the years to come, our love for each other will enrich our lives immeasurably and bring both of us great joy. For Cinderella and Prince Charming, their wedding day was the end of the story. For us, it is only the beginning. (Peg Kehret)
I believe in the power of love. I believe that love is the single most potent force in the universe. It is the source of all joy, the unifying strength which links spirit to spirit. The capacity to love is our great chance for happiness. There are, of course, many kinds of love and I believe it is possible to feel more than one kind for the same person. On this wonderful day, my heart overflows with feelings of love. I love my family and my friends; I love all of you who have come to witness this wedding. Most of all, I love (name). I believe so strongly in love's great power that I am willing now to promise to spend the rest of my lifetime with (name). (Peg Kehret)
Bride:You came softly into my heart, floating gently, as a fluff of dandelion floats on the summer breeze. You came softly into my heart and made me your own.
Groom: You crept slowly into my life, moving imperceptibly, as the clouds slide past the moon on a winter's eve. You crept slowly into my life, and made me your own.

Groom: {he turns toward witnesses} Today we rejoice in the goodness of love. (Peg Kehret)
Bride: For each of us, a few bright days stand out above the rest. This day, this hour is the brightest of my life.
Groom: It is a golden moment, made splendid by love.
Bride: I know that all our days together will not be as glorious as this one. There must always be valleys between the mountain peaks.
Groom: When we find ourselves in a valley, we will remember this day. We will recall this shining hour and the feelings of tenderness we share. And the memory will help us to emerge from the valle and climb up the mountain once more.
Bride: Today is the fulfillment of our dearest dream.
Groom: Together we will create new dreams.
Bride: This ceremony is the culmination of many months of planning. Yet it is not the end; it is only the beginning.
Groom: We have said our vows, we have made our promises, we have pledged our love.
Bride: We will carry these words in our memories and these moments in our hearts forever. (Peg Kehret)
Officiant: Marriage is not a legal document. No judge nor pastor nor justice of the peace can perform a marriage because a marriage, truly, is nothing except the promises made and kept between two individuals. Today (name} and (name) stand before us in a desire to publicly declare their love and to share with us their marriage promises. (Man's name), what promises do you make?
Groom: I promise to love (woman's name) with all my heart and mind and strength. I promise to be faithful to her in thought, word and act for all the days of my life. I promise to consider her welfare and happiness before I make any decisions and I promise to offer her comfort, encouragement and companionship.
Officiant: (Woman's name), what promises do you make?
Bride: I promise to love (man's name) with all my heart and mind and strength. I promise to be faithful to him in thought, word and act for all the days of my life. I promise to consider his welfare and happiness before I make any decisions
Officiant: Do you both, before these witnesses, pledge to do all in your power to make this a happy and enduring union?
Together: We do. (Peg Kehret)
Officiant: This is a day steeped in tradition. We are surrounded by symbols of all kinds -- something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. We are comforted and encouraged by the familiarity of such symbols and yet we know that a marriage cannot survive if it looks only to the past. Therefore, (bride's name) and (groom's name) have elected today to begin a new tradition, a custom which now becomes uniquely their own.
Groom: [Bride's name), I give to you this rose. Because this beautiful flower grew from a tiny seed, it symbolizes the way my love for you has grown. From the first faint tingling of its inception, it has become stronger and larger until today it blossoms for all to see. [he gives her the rose} Each year on our wedding anniversary, I will give you another rose. In so doing, I will remember this day and renew the vows we've made. I am confident that each year my flower will be symbolic of ever deeper and more beautiful feelings of love.
Bride: (Groom's name}, I give to you this vase of water, {he takes it and holds it) Because water is the one element without which we would surely perish, it symbolizes the importance of your love in my life. Water, like love, can take many forms. Sometimes it is steam, sometimes ice. But no matter what happens to it, even if, for a time it seems to disappear, it always returns. Each year on our anniversary, I will refill this vase, offering it to you as a symbol of my ever renewing feelings of love. (She puts the rose in the vase and they both hold the vase together.
Groom: Without water, the rose would die.
Bride: Without the rose, the vase of water would not be beautiful.
Groom: My gift is enhanced by yours, just as my life is enhance by yours.
Bride: My gift is lovely because of yours, just as my life is better because of you. (They hand the rose and vase to the officiant)
Officiant: On each anniversary, as you re-enact the giving and receiving of the rose and the water, may you remember with joy this day when you pledged your love and your lives to each other. May this be only the first of many cherished traditions in a home filled with happiness. (Peg Kehret)
Groom: Love is more than an emotion. It is a way of life.
Bride: Love is more than a feeling. It is a channel through which all feelings flow.
Groom: When I offer you my love, I offer all that is important in my life.
Bride: When I offer you my love, I let all of my deepest feelings flow toward you.
Groom: Marriage is more than a ceremony. This ceremony brings us together for only an hour but marriage is a lifetime of living together.
Bride: Marriage is more than a promise. Promises made today will soon be weightless words which float in our memories. Marriage is a promise kept, a phrase translated into action.
Groom: As we begin our lifetime together, I pledge to you my love and loyalty. I will share with you all that is important to me. I will do all that I can do to encourage peace and happiness between us.
Bride: As we begin living our promises, I pledge to you my love and loyalty. I will share with you all that is important to me. I will do all that I can to encourage peace and happiness between us.
Officiant : Marriage is an act of faith. To believe in another person without qualification or limit and to be willing to pledge oneself to a lifetime together, requires a trust of the highest order. (Name) and (name) have asked us to join them today as they pledge themselves to each other. (Bride's name), what promises do you make to (groom's name)
Bride: (Name), I affirm you now as my life partner. I promise to stay with you in times of celebration and in times of mourning. I promise to love you, honor you, cherish and keep you. I accept you, without reservation, as my husband.
Officiant : (Groom's name) what promises do you make to (bride's name)?
Groom: (Name), I affirm you now as my life partner. I promise to stay with you in times of celebration and in times of mourning. I promise to love you, honor you, cherish and keep you. I accept you, without reservation, as my wife.
Officiant : By the promises they've made,(name} and (name} have demonstrated their faith. They have shown us their belief in love, in marriage and in each other. They ask now for the blessing and confirmation of all who have witnessed their vows. If you also believe in and approve of the love which (name) and (name) have shown for each other, please applaud. (Peg Kehret)
Bride: We are different people today than we were five years ago. Five years from now, we will be different still. How, then, can we make promises which are meant to last a lifetime?
Groom: I expect you to change, just as I will change.
Bride: My promise to you is that, as I grow, I will share with you in the growth.
Groom: I will encourage your growth and you will encourage mine.
Bride: I will not expect you always to think and believe exactly as you do today. I promise to respect your opinions even when the differ from my own.
Groom: I promise to respect your opinions even when they are different from my own.
Bride: I will be your partner but never your shadow.
Groom: I will be your equal but not your double.
Bride: I will bring to you my ideas and interests, not expecting you always to have the same enthusiasms.
Groom: The diversity of separate interests will keep our friendship from becoming stagnant.
Bride: I will strive for a love that is flexible, that adapts to your changing needs.
Groom: I will strive for a love that is flexible, that adapts to your changing needs.
Bride: Only through love can two persons become one and still remain two.

Groom: I look into your eyes and I glimpse Paradise.
Bride: Today we create our own Heaven here on Earth.
Groom: I love the little girl you were, the woman you are and the person you will become.
Bride: I love you for looking at me and seeing only the best. I will strive to become what you think I am.
Groom: I love you for listening to me and hearing only the good. I will strive to become what you think I am.
Bride: In our times together, I promise to see you always through the eyes of love.
Groom: In our times together, I promise to see you always through the eyes of love. (Peg Kehret)
