I choose you as the person I will spend my life with.

I will honor and respect you through thick and thin.

I will help you and care for you in good times and in bad.

I will comfort and protect you in times of strife, and rejoice with you in times of health and good fortune.

I will trust you and forgive you.

I will be faithful to you and love you through the end of my days.

Together, we will strive to understand and improve ourselves, our home, and our world.

I take you, (Kees/Kirsten), with all your faults and strengths, to be my (husband/wife), and offer myself, with all my faults and strengths, to you.
