You cannot possess me for I belong to myself.
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give.
You cannot command me, for I am a free man.
But I shall serve you in those ways you require.
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night
and the eyes into which I smile in the morning.
I pledge to you the first bite of my meat and the first drink from my cup.
I pledge to you my living and my dying, each equally in your care.
I pledge to always keep sword sharpened, and to take it up in defense of our marriage and our household.
I shall be a shield for your back, and you for mine.
I shall not slander you, nor you me.
I shall honor you above all others, and when we quarrel we shall do so in private,
and tell no strangers our grievances.
This is my wedding vow to you, that this marriage is one of equals, and I swear it before God on this day.

We actually said slightly personalized versions of celtic wedding vows. Here are Demo's:You cannot possess me for I belong to myself.

The italic part is what we said differently. I wrote mine on paper, and can't find them at the moment, but will put them up when I do.
