______, I want to be with you al­ways, just as you are. I choose you above all oth­ers to share my life with me in mar­riage. I will take you in my arms when you need to be held. I will lis­ten when you need to talk. I will laugh with you in times of joy, and com­fort you in times of sad­ness. I will love you for who you are, and help you to be­come all that you can be. I will grow old with you. (I will age grace­ful­ly with you.)
