 | | Eric (to Kimberly) and Kimberly (to Eric): "I, Kimberly Joy / Eric Kevin, take you, Eric Kevin / Kimberly Joy, to be my lawfully wedded husband / wife. I promise before our families, friends, and the Lord, to care for you in sickness and in sadness and I promise to laugh with you and rejoice with you in gladness. I promise to inspire greatness in you and to listen and give to you from my heart and soul. I make this vow in love, keep it in faith, live it in hope, and share it in honesty, as long as our souls shall live."

(These vows will be followed by the Unity Candle Ceremony which consists of the lighting of a central candle from two separate candles held by the bride and groom to symbolize the uniting of two lives into one. Their wedding vows will be inscribed on the large unity candle. In the years to come, on each wedding anniversary, they will reaffirm these vows as they again light the candle in celebration.)

Kim and Eric have also composed beautifully worded ring vows; look for them in Chapter 8.
