The Wedding Vows

These are the remarkable vows Peter Bradrick prepared based on Scripture and pledged on his wedding day:

I, Peter Bradrick, covenant before God and man to you Kelly Jeanette Brown to be your loving husband and to lead you, to protect you, and to provide for you in the fear of the Lord.

I vow to love you as my wife even as Christ also loved the Church,
To lay down my life for you,
To wash you with the water of the Word,
To love you as my own body and to nourish and cherish you even as the Lord does the Church,
To render unto you the affection owed you, knowing that I do not have authority over my own body but you do,
To dwell with you according to knowledge, giving honor unto you as unto the weaker vessel, and living together with you as heirs together of the grace of life.

You alone will be my delight as the wife of my youth. I will fight for you, for our sons, for our daughters, and for our household. The Lord do so to me and more also if anyting but death parts you and me.

I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and times of triumph.

I pledge to you my life as a loyal and faithful husband.

These are are the equally remarkable vows Kelly Brown prepared based on Scripture and pledged:

I, Kelly Jeanette Brown, covenant before God and man to you Peter Bradrick to be your loyal wife and to submit myself under your headship. Just as the Church is subject to Christ so will I be to you in everything.

I will live first unto our God and then unto you, loving you, caring for you, obeying you, and ever seeking to please you as my earthly lord.

I will be your discreet, chaste, keeper at home, diligently, industriously, and faithfully caring for the affairs of your home so that your heart may always safely trust in me.

If the Lord chooses so to bless us, it will be my delight to be your fruitful bearer of children, and I will help you diligently teach them the commandments of the Lord as we talk of them in your house, as we walk by the way, when we lie down and we rise up.

Wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. The Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death part you and me.

I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and times of triumph.

I pledge to you my life as an obedient and faithful wife.
