BRIDE/GROOM, these things I promise I will do That life may grant you ample grace Because I love and cherish you: I vow to treasure what is true That I might touch whom I embrace: These things I promise I will do. I’ll build a garden in your view that with sweet fruit will stone replace because I love and cherish you. I vow to love each day anew, for love must dance through time and space: These things I promise I will do. I vow to make your terrors few and then with you those demons face because I love and cherish you. And now, as we make one of two, a passage we cannot retrace, these things I promise I will do because I love and cherish you.
