"You are mine, my love, and I am yours, as ordained by God from the beginning of time. He brought us together and He has kept us together, to love and be loved, to cherish and be cherished for all the days of our lives. You are God's gift to me, my priceless treasure, my blessing for life. May He bless us as we come together today to renew our pledge of love to one another."
"Remember the first time we met? You were dancing with someone else; I cut in on that poor soul, and we have been dancing together ever since. Our life's dance has been a steady dance, weaving in and out of our days and years together, a quiet, intimate dance of shared thoughts and dreams, through many summers of new-mown grass, through cold, chilling winters, through seasons of tears and laughter. Today we continue our life's dance with a commitment that is as fresh and joyous as the day I married you. Dance with me, ______________, until the day I die."
(Personalize this vow to reflect your own meeting and life together.)

But as I reflect back on all our married days, and I picture you the times you sat feeding ____________ in the big rocker in the den, and that Halloween you dressed up like Big Bird for _______________'s party, and the time in the hospital when you held me close after my accident...all these remembrances fill my heart to overflowing with my love for you. You have been a devoted, loving wife / husband and mother / father and there are no words to express how deep and rich is the love I feel for you this day. I am proud to be your husband / wife and I gladly renew my vows as we celebrate our _________ anniversary."
(Insert your own personal memories into these vows.)
"_________________________, you have been my all, my life for all these years, a loving devoted mother / father and grandmother / grandfather, always giving of yourself with Christ-like, sacrificial love. You have put our needs and cares above your own, always nourishing and supportinga Godly man / woman, seeking His help in all ways and living His love through your words and deeds. I come to you today, my precious, adored husband / wife and give myself to you afresh and anew, as we renew our wedding vows, first pledged _____________ years ago, in this very place. In the presence of our family and friends, I honor you today and I vow to be a faithful husband / wife from this day forward, for as long as the Lord lets us live on this earth."
