Wedding Vows

Or did you just use a canned set from the pastor or priest?

Anyone know where I can find some?

Because my fiance is stressed out about enough things. If I show up with some decent (even canned) vows, I'll be a hero.
 
we went with canned. however, we had to pick from the available versions.

even that decision took a while, but it at least took less time than writing our own.
 
We wrote our own. She wrote hers first, and then I just mainly copied it and changed a few words and re-ordered it. She loved it.
 
I kind of like these:

I , (name), take you, (name), to be my friend, my lover, the (mother/father) of my children and my (husband/wife). I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.
 
You could easily use Bible verses to come up with a good wedding vow. You don't need to be a Christian to borrow from it.

Example: Love is peace, joy, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. (Bible verse).. Then add "I will love you for the rest of my life."

There.. done.
 
Obligatory Simpsons reference:

Marge: I must remember my wedding vows.

Ned: Did you promise to be miserable, to be taken for granted by a drunken lout?

Marge: Pretty much. We wrote our own vows.

Actual Simpsons vows:

Minister: Do you, Marjorie Bouvier take Homer J. Simpson to be your lawful wedded husband?

Marge: I do.

Minister: Homer, same question, names reversed.

My friend is a minister (paid ~$20 for it... 😀) He has performed the ceremony for two of my friends. For one of them, those WERE the vows... yuk yuk yuk...
