In the most simplest form what words would marry a couple before God? Not talking about a wedding, but just vows, words only.

It's not the words, darling.
It's the feelings, it's what's in your heart. My Grandpa said it best. "The wedding and all of that is the formal way of doing things... but what matters is what's in your heart. That piece of paper does not make you married. It doesn't make it any better. It doesn't make it any easier. It's what's in your heart that counts and makes you married."

I'm not actually sure about the spiritual thing, but my husband and I promised our hearts and trust to each other. We promised that no matter what, it would come down to us two, not even a piece of paper can come between us.
No words are going to make a marriage work unless you honestly, without a doubt, trust with all your heart and life the other. We weren't even nervouse, we just promised ourselves to each other. It's been five years, and we can't even believe that long has gone by already, it seems like we're still just dating at times. Trust your heart, and if there are any doubts at all, then don't do it.

All of them. The vows that is, not all the words in the world.
A vow is something you promise. You get married speaking these vows because they are the promise you make to your beloved in front of god - allegedly he exists.

No words, it's the act of making a commitment to yourself and the one you marry and how you treat that commitment over time. The words are only the start of the process.

There's a poem by walt whitman that says it pretty well.
But other than that, I like something along these lines:
I will share this relationship with you until our deaths. I will make your place in my life a priority, and I want you and everyone else to know that I am immensely proud that you have consented to be my partner.
That's what I meant by my vows. Other people have definitely said it fancier, though.

Hard to pick out a few words from the ceremony. If I had to choose just a few I guess it would be some combination of "I do" or "yes" and "by the power vested in me by the (insert church or organization name) and the (insert state or country name), I now declare you husband and wife."

spiritually speaking it is not vows at all that marry a person. You cannot find in bible that vows are necessary. Check it out for your self.

Actually I think there are parts of the bible were you don't even need a minister for being married in God's eyes.

The answer to your question is contingent upon the religious beliefs of those getting married. They vary from culture to culture and religion to religion.

Two people who love each other can declare themselves "married" to one another. No deities or governments are required to validate the process.
