I take you as my lawfully wedded wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, forsaking all others; for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, for as long as we both shall live.
The words are familiar. They have been promised millions of times over the course of many years. There are different ways to say them, but the meaning is the same — I love you.
