...Till death do us part…

I Karen..

take you Charles to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love.

I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before.

I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together.

I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.

In the presence of God and these our friends I take thee to be my husband, promising with Divine assistance to be unto thee a loving and faithful wife so long as we both shall live.
