To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.

Our state cannot be sever’d; we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.

Hail wedded love, mysterious law, true source
Of human offspring.

Marriage: that I call the will of two to create the one who is more than those who created it.

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
