I, , take you, ,to be my husband,to have and to holdfrom this day forward;for better, for worse,for richer, for poorer,in sickness and in health,to love and to cherish,till death us do part;according to God’s holy law.In the presence of God I make this vow.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. -----George Sand

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you will become very happy; if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher.

-----Socrates

Men marry because they are tired, women because they are curious. both are disappointed.

-----O. Wilde
