Here are a pair of example wedding vows for use within a Christian wedding.

The Grooms Wedding Vows:
Heather, I give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live,or the Lord comes for His own, and hereto I pledge you my faithfulness.

The Brides Wedding Vows:

Jason, I give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my husband: to have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worse, for richer for poorer; in sickness and in health; to have and to cherish, as long as we both shall live. And hereto, I pledge you my faithfulness to show to you the same kind of love as Christ showed the Church when He died for her, and to love you as a part of myself because in His sight we shall be one.

==========================

Our second example:
Groom

Lisa, as we stand before both God and man making public our commitment to one another, I wish to make it known that I recognize God's authority over my life which is exercised from His loving heart. He has chosen me to be one of His own, and has since been my life. I recognize also that He has blessed me, and entrusted to me your life as an unearned gift. In recognition of these things, I, Darren, take you, Lisa, to be my wife. I promise to love you with His love, to provide for your needs through His enablement, and to lead you as He leads me, as long as He gives me life, regardless of circumstances. Lisa, I look forward to establishing a home where Christ is glorified. Toward that end I promise to allow God to use you in my life as He sees best in building me into His person. I thank Him for your love and friendship.

Bride

I Lisa, take you, Darren, to be my husband. With the greatest joy I come into my new life with you. Today I am reminded of James l:17 which says "Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." Next to the gift of salvation, you are the most precious gift God has given me. I know that along with all of the and profound new joys God has given me, I face new responsibilities that I cannot fulfill in my own strength. But by God's grace and power working within me, I desire to be trustworthy and loving as your wife, to serve and love you in all circumstances, to obey you, to allow God to use you to build and nurture wonderful qualities in me, as long as God give us life on this earth. I praise God continually for you, Darren, and for your love and friendship.
