precious company of friends and family, I freely and publicly renew my wedding vows, pledging again my unwavering love as your faithful husband / wife from this day forward. May the Lord bless us with many more happy years together."
"I can't believe how lucky I was to find you ______ years ago, and I was luckier still when you agreed to marry me. And hasn't our marriage been good, with so many memories of beautiful moments shared? I treasure those memories...they are souvenirs in my heart... memories of you as my friend, my lover, my husband / wife. Our marriage is the most important thing in my life, and you are the most important person. As our love has grown deeper each year and more comfortable, too, our relationship has gone beyond anything I could have imagined and as we stand before this gathering of our friends and family, I publicly and joyfully reaffirm our wedding vows."
"_______ years ago, I chose you to be my husband / wife, and today I choose you again, not because I should, not because it is expected, not because I have no other choice, but because my love for you is even richer and deeper than the day I married you, and I choose you again gladly and without reservation. Choosing each other is an ongoing process, my love, and every morning, as I look at your precious face, I choose you anew and rejoice in the fact that you have chosen me, too. How blessed I am to have you as my husband / wife. You have met all my expectations and given me a life filled with joy. I want to live with you

for the rest of my life, not because I should, or because it is expected, but because that is the longing of my heart."
"I fell in love with you the first time when we were in high school, remember? And throughout our married life, I have fallen in love with you again hundreds of times for a hundred different reasons. We've shared our dreams and built our castles in the air, but when things have been rough and I've been afraid, yours is the hand I want to holdyou are the source of my strength. You are still the only man / woman for me and when I think of the years that still lie ahead of us, I fall totally and completely in love with you all over again. How I love you at this moment, ________________, and I vow to be a good and faithful husband / wife for all the rest of our days."
Man to his wife: "I remember that Saturday morning, _____ years ago, when you walked down the aisle and into my arms, my beautiful bride. We had such great expectations of each other, didn't we? We hoped that every day would be as glorious and happy as that day. Every day wasn't as glorious and happy as that day, as we discovered through our years together, but you never disappointed me; your love was constant and steady; you were always there for me, no matter what the circumstances. How I love you still, my beautiful bride, and how proud I am to be your husband. I gladly renew the promises I made to you _____ years ago, and I pledge myself to you again this day with a love as fresh as the day I married you."
