Together we dreamed of a future life. Our love thrived upon that dream and nurtured our hearts, so that we can’t imagine a future without seeing each other in it. Even when we are far apart, our hearts are together. We are apparently two, but one in heart.
Together we have the strength to take on any challenge, to comfort and care through every difficulty, to listen, to be true to ourselves, to be loyal and trustworthy, and to keep trying. We promise to respect and cherish each other, making sure to protect each other’s needs to learn and grow.
From the moment we sign this ketubah, we accept all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage.
