It varies by demomination for church services and most of the other services are written by the couple getting married.

Usually it goes we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. There names are involved, then do you so-so take so-so to be your husband in sickness and in health , for richer or poorer, to love and to cherish all the days of your life from this day forward till death do you part-I do same for the wife then the exchanging of rings. Preacher then usually says I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride.
This is just off the top of my head traditional vows.

The typical goes something like, "Do you (name) take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and cherish from this day forward until the rest of your life?" You can also write your own vows and the library or internet should have all kinds of variations to choose from.
Good luck! ;)

the preacher will say pretty much what you want him to say, or you can wright your own vows. he can also omit things that a preacher may say if you don't want them to say, for example" if anyone here knows why these 2 should not wed, let him speak now or forever hold his peace..blaa bla bla bla" its what ever the bride and groom want.

He(or she) usually reads from the Bible about where man and woman leave their parents and cleave to each other. The questions he asks are do you...take this woman/man, to be your lawfully wedded husband/wife, in sickness, health.......till death do you part?
