Presbyterian "I, ______, take you to be my wedded wife/husband, and I do promise and covenant, before God and these witnesses, to be your loving and faithful wife/husband, in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live."
UnitarianAlthough most Unitarian weddings do not follow a set service, but rather are designed by individual ministers, here are two typical Unitarian-Universalist wedding vow phrasings:
The minister asks the bride and the groom respectively:
"_____, will you take _____ to be your husband/wife; love, honor and cherish him/her now and forevermore?"
The bride and groom answer:
"I will."
The minister then asks bride and groom to repeat:
"I, _______, take you, _____, to be my husband/wife; 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 cherish always."
"________, will you have ______ to be your husband/wife, to live together in creating an abiding marriage? Will you love and honor, comfort and cherish him/her in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, from this day forward?"
United Church of Christ"I, _____, take you, ______, to be my husband/wife, and I promise to love and sustain you in the bonds of marriage from this day forward, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, till death shall part us, according to God's holy ordinance."
Quaker"In the presence of God and these our Friends, I take thee to be my wife/husband, promising with Divine assistance to be unto thee a loving and faithful wife/husband as long as we both shall live."
