To have and to hold,

to live and to love

In kisses hot and silence cold

With the woman I dream of.

In sickness and in health,

in anger and desire

to learn what is real wealth

with an energy that cannot expire.

With affection and with trust,

with doubts and with fears

to attraction transcending lust

in my eyes are joyful tears

From this special day

'till death do us part

forever yours I'll stay

and trust you with my heart.

You may now kiss the bride

and with a joy I cannot hide

we kiss, my ears red with pride.
