With my whole heart, I take you.

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

With my whole heart, I take you to be my wife/husband/partner. I acknowledge my love for you and invite you to share my life as I hope to share yours. I promise to walk by your side, to love, help, and encourage you in all that you do. I pledge to you my fidelity and my trust, from this day forward.

Editor's Insight

This vow resonates with quiet strength and unwavering commitment. Its power lies in its straightforward sincerity; it doesn't need grand declarations, but rather speaks of shared journeys and mutual support. It's perfect for couples who value a classic, heartfelt expression of love. Its simple elegance lends itself well to intimate ceremonies. For the officiant, a meaningful touch would be to invite a reflective pause after the second line ("...as I hope to share yours."). This allows the couple, and those witnessing, a brief moment to truly absorb the profound intention of sharing a life. This subtle emphasis elevates the moment and allows for deeper emotional connection.
