In the presence of God and these our friends.
This traditional wedding vow is a heartfelt way to express your commitment.
“In the presence of God and these our friends, I take thee to be my wife/husband, promising with Divine assistance to be unto thee a loving and faithful wife/husband so long as we both shall live on earth.
