I give myself to you on this day and for each that follows.
I take you to be my life's partner with our hearts beating as one, embracing our future together.
I will never abandon nor forsake you in times of need or hardship. I will hurt when you hurt, cry when you cry and perish when you perish.
I will spend all my days at your side, loyal and vigilant, guarding our love for all eternity.
All that I am or ever will be is because of the assurance and vigor that our love has granted us.
Let us embrace one another and spread our wings of fire, uniting us and proving to the world that our love is true.
Together forever my darling, my one and only……my love.

The 'perish when you perish' portion is more true than what most would think. It is not a lie, for when she dies, so will my heart, soul and will to live.

fire represents our passion and love for each other, maybe ill change it to 'fervor', who knows. If you really like them, send me an email at yahoo!

I revised them a wee bit, but they still have the same thoughts and passion entwined from my heart into hers, through words.

The last edit, I promise! I replaced the last line in the vows with:
'You are my one and only love and I will be forever yours, faithfully. '

Men on yahoo answers throughout the world are writing those down as we speak to use as their own. Way to go, and congratulations for finding someone that you feel this way about. I wish you a long and wonderful life together.

That third line has to be reworked.
#1 The "perish when you perish" is WAY too heavy and not a promise that you will be able to keep. What if she dies in her early 30s and you have to take care of 2 kids alone. Thats the litteral sense, but if you mean you will die inside, thats not good either, you have to go on living for your kids.
#2 No woman wants someone that will cry with her or hurt with her, they want someone to wrap their arms around them and comfort and bolster them.
Also, "wings of fire" what does that mean? And why would you need to prove that your love is true to anyone? The only people you need to prove your love to is each other. I would omit that line completely.
ETA:Just read your revised copy. MUCH better! Stick with that version! Best of luck!

Beautiful!
The perish part is similar to The Book of Ruth, a popular reading, and completely understandable to anyone who has been blessed to experience true everlasting love.
I wish you a happy marriage - your fiancee is lucky!

I love your ideas and what you're saying with your vows. I think that though it is well written it might sound better in the moment if you make it less of a poem and more of a promise to her. It doesn't have to be flowers and harps, it just has to be candid and honest. Otherwise, it's beautiful.

They're a little too flowery for me. But congrats to you for actually putting VOWS in there. So many diy vows are just rambling love letters with no actual vows or promises in there.
However, I'd take out the "perish when you perish." You aren't going to die when she does, most likely, so it's a lie. Lying in vows is bad.

WOW those vows are beautiful and you did a fantastic job. I am not at all talented enough to put my thoughts and feelings into such elegant words. Kudos. Congrats on your marriage.

Those are awesome ! But you really need to consider adding some stuff about her going to the store for beer when you run out, and not complaining about how bad your farts smell.
This is, after all reality we are talking about her right? not Hollywood....
Best Of Luck to you and your Bride; Congrats !
