Wedding Vows
Couples are free to choose their own vows with one proviso:
The following prescribed words must be included in the vows, "I call upon the persons here present to witness that I N. take you N. to be my husband/wife."
So the traditional vows would go like this:
"I call upon the persons here present to witness that I N. take you N. to be my wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, while we both shall live."
