Example:
Both: I, ____ take you ____ to be my lifelong companion, my soulmate, my inspiration, my strength and my shield. I vow to love you in the good times and the bad. I promise to be your rock when things get rough and to lift you up when you need a helping hand. I will love you until my dying day.
