婚礼上的传统誓言
牧师宣布婚姻的意义是在于在上帝面前的圣约（the
holy
convenant
in
the
presence
of
god），并先后依次问:
will
you
love
her/him,
comfort
her/him,
honor
and
keep
her/him,
in
sickness
and
in
health;
and
forsaking
all
others
keep
only
to
her/him
so
long
as
you
both
shall
live?
是否爱她／他，安慰她／他，荣耀保守她／他，
无论疾病还是健康；
并只守候在她／他身旁，不再寻找别人
只要一息尚存？
依次回答
i
will
（i
do）后，就彼此宣誓:
i,
(name),
take
you,
(name),
我，（名字），愿以你，（名字），
to
be
my
wedded
wife/husband,
作我婚姻的妻子／丈夫，
to
have
and
to
hold,
相互拥有扶持，
from
this
day
forward,
而今而后，
for
better,
for
worse,
不论境遇好坏，
for
richer,
for
poorer,
家境贫富，
in
sickness
and
in
health,生病与否，
to
love
and
to
cherish,
誓言相亲相爱，
till
death
us
do
part,
至死不分离。
according
to
god’s
holy
ordinance;
正如上帝之神圣命定；
and
there
to
i
pledge
you
my
faith.
此我以信为誓
然后交换“那内在而属灵恩典的外在而可见之记号”
（the
outward
and
visible
sign
of
an
inward
and
spiritual
grace）的戒指。接下来是点同心蜡烛，象征二人成为一体，一个家
庭。点完同心蜡烛以后，牧师“奉父子圣灵的名”（in
the
name
of
the
father,
and
of
the
son,
and
of
the
holy
spirit）宣布成为夫妻。仪式最后以祝福和主祷文结束。
