I give you this ring, wear it with love and joy.
I choose you to be my partner,
to have and to hold from this day forward
for better or for worse, for richer for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish
as long as we both shall live. Today is a very special day.
Long ago you were just a dream and a prayer.
Thank you for being what you are to me.
From this day forward I promise you these things.
I will laugh with you in times of joy and comfort you in times of sorrow.
I will share in your dreams, and support you as you strive to achieve your goals.
I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement.
I will help you when you need it, and step aside when you don't.
I will remain faithful to you for better or worse, in times of sickness and health.
You are my boyfriend and I will love and respect you always.
