SamuelHi to our Non-Chinese viewers, please see the general translations of the Wedding vow and Ring exchange:Definition of CommitmentMarriage is a joyous occasion. It is connected in our thoughts with the charm of love, the warmth of home, and with all that is pleasant, as being one of the most important events of our lives. Its sacredness and unity is the most significant and binding covenant known in human relations.Samuel and Charmaine, let me charge you both to remember that your future happiness is to be in mutual consideration, patience, kindness, confidence and affection. It is the duty of each of you to find your greatest joy in the company of the other; to remember that your love pledged today must remain undivided for a lifetime.It is your duty, Samuel, to be to Charmaine, a considerate, tender, faithful, and loving husband: to support, guide and cherish her in prosperity and trouble; to thoughtfully and carefully enlarge the place she holds in your life; to constantly show to her the tokens of your affection, to shelter her from danger, and to love her with an unchangeable love.It is your duty, Charmaine, to be to Samuel, a considerate, tender, faithful, and loving wife; to comfort, guide and cherish him in prosperity and trouble; to give to him the unfailing evidences of your affection; and to continue making the place he holds in your heart, broader and deeper; to support him, value him and work with him to make your marriage the very best that it can be.I call your attention to the seriousness of the decision which you have made and the covenant you are about to declare before God.

This is my solemn vow.Exchange of RingsYou will now exchange rings as a symbol of the lifelong commitment and abiding love which you as husband and wife have promised to each other.Groom, please place the ring on Charmaine’s finger, and repeat after me.I give you this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness.And Bride, please place the ring on Samuel’s finger and repeat after me.I give you this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness.
