To Have And To Hold

John
to have and to hold. Faithfully.
To honour and love. Devotedly.
Wilt thou take this man?

Mary
yes i will.
For better or worse. Constantly.
In sickness and health. Unfailingly.
Wilt thou take this girl?

John
yes i will.

Both
i pledge my soul to you. I give you my heart.
There by your side until death do us part.

Chorus
to honour and love. Constantly.
'Til death do them part. Devotedly.
Yes from this wedding day forth
joined by god.

Both
to be by your side. Faithfully.
Forsaking all others. Willingly.
With my body i thee worship.
And with this ring i thee wed.
To have and to hold. Fervently.
To honour and love. Unendingly.
Wilt thou take this man/girl?
Yes i will.

John
and wilt thou take this man
for better and for worse?

Congregation
god we hope they've made the right decision.
Will their fate be forty years of strife?
Is this union headed for division?
No! It's the happiest day of their life!
