I give you my life.

This traditional wedding vow is a heartfelt way to express your commitment.

I give you my life, my heart, and my hands. I promise to love you faithfully, to honor you always, and to walk beside you through all the years of our lives.

Editor's Insight

This traditional vow is a bedrock, imbued with an enduring sense of commitment and unwavering devotion. Its power lies in its simplicity, a direct offering of oneself – life, heart, and hands – to another. This is a vow perfectly suited for couples who value steadfastness and a classic expression of love, perhaps those with a quieter strength or a deep appreciation for tradition. Ceremony tip: To allow the weight of "I give you my life" to truly resonate, consider a deliberate pause after that opening phrase. Let the promise linger in the air before continuing the flow of your heartfelt commitment.
