The Vow

I think it's really important to know our promises we made to each other on our wedding day. A lot of times, the whole day can be a daze and if we don't look back and study the words we promised to one another, they are easy to overlook. Thankfully, I had the order of service saved on my computer so I have the option to look back. So if you're out there and you haven't gotten married yet, make sure to save a copy of your vows, and if you're already married, try and find a way to look at your vows again. Seriously! How important are these words? They are the foundation of our marriage. They are our promises to one another. I want to look at them often so they are real in my heart, mind, and actions.
Our Verse:
Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves
The Vow:
I, (name), take you, (name), to be my lawfully wedded (husband/wife), my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live. 
The Rings:
I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and my faith in God's strength to keep us together.  In committing my heart and soul to you, I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today. 
The Declaration of Marriage: 
Ministering in the name of the Lord Jesus, I now pronounce you husband and wife. May Christ be the Head of your home. May He be the unseen Guest at every meal, the Listener to every conversation. May Christ's love rule your hearts and lives. John Mark, you may kiss the bride.
