The wedding vows are promises made by the bride and groom to each other during a wedding ceremony. In Western culture, this pledge has traditionally included the notions of affection (love, comfort, keep), faithfulness (forsaking all others), unconditionality (for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health), and permanence (as long as we both shall live, until death do us part). You can chose to write your own wedding vows, rather than relying on standard wedding vows samples.
