Used for Two Weddings

This morning I re-read our wedding vows, which I wrote many, many years ago. I hadn’t read these in years, and I had forgotten that I was more poetic as a young man.

As my daughter prepares for her wedding, my only hope is that her marriage lasts as long, and as happy, as mine.

OUR VOWS

I call upon our friends here present

To witness my declaration of love for you.

I vow before God to be your loving and faithful husband (wife)

To share with you whatever I have

To care for you whenever you are in need.

I promise to forever cherish your love

So that our marriage will forever serve God.

P.S. I pulled these vows out of my archives at my daughter’s request. It turns out, she and her groom used them as their wedding vows.
