her/him,

keep
her/him,
in
sickness
and
in
health;
and
forsaking
all
others
keep
only
to
her/him
so
long
as
you
both
shall
live?
是否爱她／他，安慰她／他，荣耀保守她／他，
无论疾病还是健康；
并只守候在她／他身旁，不再寻找别人
只要一息尚存？
依次回答
i
will
（i
do）后，就彼此宣誓:
i,
(name),
take
you,

我，（名字），愿以你，（名字），
to

wedded
wife/husband,
作我婚姻的妻子／丈夫，
to

the
name
of
the
father,
and
of
the
son,
and
of
the
holy
spirit）宣布成为夫妻。仪式最后以祝福和主祷文结束。
