Option 4 – including children

_groomname_ please say your vows to_bridename_

From the moment our paths crossed

You’ve surprised me, distracted me, captivated me

and challenged me in a way that no human being ever has.

I’ve fallen in love with you again and again countless times without reservation,

and I still can’t believe that today I get to marry my best friend.

I promise to be true to you, to uplift and support you,

to frustrate you and challenge you and to share with you the moments of life.

Today I am excited that your children become my children,

With your help and guidance I promise to be a true and faithful spouse and parent, always

No matter what trials we encounter together or how much time has passed,

I know that our love will never fade.

That we will always find strength in growing together as a family,

 and as individuals in our own right.

I believe in the truth of what we are

and I will love you always and protect our family with every beat of my heart.
