What Greater Thing
George Eliot
What greater thing is there for two human souls,
Than to feel that they are joined for life-To strengthen each
other in all labor,
To rest on each other in all sorrow,
To minister to each other in all pain,
To be one with each other
In silent unspeakable memories..
Vows:
We have been called together as witnesses to the happiness
which ________ and ______ have found together, and to the
pledge that they will now make to each other.
_________ and _________ place face each other and hold
hands.
_________ please repeat after me:
_______ I take you to be my lawfully wedded wife. Before these
witnesses I vow to love you and care for you as long as we both
shall live. I take you, with all your faults and strengths, as I
offer myself to you with all my faults and strengths. I will help
you when you need help, and turn to you when I need help. I
choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life.
