(First vow)

Today, I give thanks for who you are --
Someone who knows me, through and through;
Someone who loves me, come what may.
Today, I give thanks for what’s to come --
Sharing a lifetime hand in hand;
Facing the future, day by day.
Today, I look back on where we’ve been --
The memories we’ve made;
The crazy things we do.
The twists of fate that brought us here
Where I can say . . .
Today, I marry you.

When I met you, I was a shadow,
But you gave my life color and purpose.
And ever since, I’ve waited
Until the day
When I could say to you . . .

Today, I am making you this vow --
Promising always to be true;
Promising love will find a way.
Today, I am promising my heart --
Both through the good times and the bad,
Even when we’re both old and grey.
Today, I cannot contain my joy --
My life is now complete.
I thank you and I love you
And I’m proud to say . . .
Today, I marry you.

(Second vow)

Today, I give thanks for all you’ve done --
Showing me things I’d never seen;
Showing me I could find my way.
Today, I give thanks for how you cared --
Nothing to ransom for your love;
Nothing but kindness to repay.
Today, I will marry my best friend --
Who’s been there at my side;
Whose love has seen me through.
You’ve given all you are to me
And now I say . . .
Today, I marry you.

When I met you, I was in hell,
But you lifted me up and I flew.
And I’ve waited ‘til the day
When I could say to you . . .

Today, I am making you this vow --
Promising always to be true;
Promising love will find a way.
Today, I am promising my heart --
Both through the good times and the bad,
Even when we’re both old and grey.
Today, I cannot contain my joy --
My dreams are coming true.
I thank you and I love you
And I’m proud to say . . .
Today, I marry you.
