Groom: "In remembrance of this day, I will give you a white rose each year on our anniversary, as a reaffirmation of my love and the vows spoken here today."
Bride: "And I will refill this vase with water each year, ready to receive your gift, in reaffirmation of the new life you have given me and the vows spoken here today."
Groom (as he and his bride join hands around the rose-filled vase): "And so, this rose will be a symbolic memory of my commitment to you this hour; I vow to be a faithful husband to you, to comfort you, honor you, respect you and cherish you all the days of my life."
Bride (as they continue to hold the vase together): "And I commit myself to you, to be a faithful wife, to comfort you, honor you, respect you and cherish you all the days of my life."
"Today, our wedding day, is one brief day in time, and although our vows are spoken in a matter of minutes, they are promises that will last a lifetime. When we leave this ceremony today, I will be a better person, because of you. Because of your love and trust, my life is fulfilled and has a new beginning. I promise to be a faithful husband and worthy of this love. I will be true and loyal to you in every way, always comforting you, loving you and cherishing you, from this day forward as we begin our new life together."
