love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offense or store up grievances. love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth. it is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. love never comes to an end.

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

with this ring i thee wed: with my body i thee worship: and with all my worldly goods i thee endow. forever and ever.
