I take you to be my wedded wife/husband.
This traditional wedding vow is a heartfelt way to express your commitment.
“I take you to be my wedded wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.
”
