Over the years, we've seen tons of weddings in movies and TV shows, and sometimes we draw back to our favourite moments, taking inspiration and incorperating them into our own weddings.
Movies and TV shows normally all have their own unique take on the treasured and extremely important wedding vows - the core of every single wedding.
From traditional to unconventional, these promises of eternal love can help you put your own personal stamp on those oaths that you will take for life...
The Vow: Paige & Leo wedding reading
Paige: "I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not, to agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home."
Leo: "I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. And to always know in the deepest part of my soul that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find our way back to each other."
Leap Year: Anna & Declan wedding reading
"May you never steal, lie, or cheat. But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows. And if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life. And if you must cheat, then please cheat death, because I couldn’t live a day without you."
Twilight: Bella & Edward wedding reading
"It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to. And who will accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am.

Friends: Monica & Chandler Bing
Monica: "Chandler, for so long I wondered if I would ever find my prince, my soulmate. Then three years ago, at a another wedding, I turned to a friend for comfort and instead I found everything I'd been looking for my whole life. And now, here we are, with our future before us, and I only want to spend it with you, my prince, my soulmate, my friend...unless you don't want to. You go."
** Chandler:** "Monica, I thought this was going to be the most difficult thing I had to do, but when i saw you walking down that aisle I realized how simple it was. I love you.

Parks and Recreation: Leslie & Ben wedding reading

Chasing Amy: Alyssa & Holden wedding reading
"I love you. Very simple, very truly. You’re the epitome of every attribute and quality I’ve ever looked for in another person… I can’t stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can’t look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can’t talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are… I’ve never felt this before, and I like who I am because of it… There isn’t another soul on this planet who’s ever made me half the person I am when I’m with you… I’m forever changed because of who you are and what you’ve meant to me."

"For richer, for poorer,
In sickness and in health,
To love and to honor, hold and to keep.

From tomorrow to tomorrow,
From now to forever,
Till death do us part.
"With this ring, I thee wed.
With this ring, I thee wed.
"Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow: Only death will part us now.
"Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.
"Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part us now.
"Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart,
Even death won't part us now."
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Spike & Buffy wedding reading
"When I say, 'I love you,' it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one."
Stardust: Yvaine & Tristan wedding reading
"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars — pain, lies, hate… “It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… you could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. “So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and… what I'm trying to say, is… I love you.
"Is this love? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart… it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange: no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too.
"Just your heart, in exchange for mine."

When Harry Met Sally: Harry & Sally wedding reading
"I love that you get cold when it’s seventy-one degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night."

You are a breathtaking reflection of God's heart for me, of how he pursued me and loved me even when I didn't love myself. You held my hand in the darkness, and you pulled me out into the light. I love you."
Frankie: "You are my light, and it doesn't matter what happens in this life as long as you're with me. When I look at you, I know that there’s a God, and that he loved me so much that he took the time to create you just for me. I love you, past my mind, beyond my heart. I love you for my soul. And that's the space where only you and God dwell."

The X-Files: Mulder & Scully wedding reading
"It seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with."
Friends: Phoebe & Mike wedding reading
Phoebe: "When I was growing up, I didn’t have a normal mom and dad, or a regular family like everybody else, and I always knew that something was missing. But now I’m standing here today, knowing that I have everything I’m ever gonna need. You are my family."
Mike: "Phoebe, you are so beautiful. You’re so kind, you’re so generous, you’re so wonderfully weird. Every day with you is an adventure. I can’t believe how lucky I am, and I can’t wait to share my life with you forever."

Mike: "I love you too."
Boy Meets World: Cory & Topanga wedding reading

Cory: "Ever since I was young I never understood anything about the world, and I never understood anything that happened in my life. The only thing that ever made sense to me was you, and how I felt about you. That’s all I’ve ever known, and that’s enough, that’s enough for me, for the rest of my life."
Doctor Who: Amy & Rory wedding reading
“You know when, sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later, they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, and you meet them and you think, ‘Not bad; they’re okay.’ And then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality is written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful. Rory’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever met.”
Parks And Recreation: Andy & April wedding reading

Andy: "April, you are the most awesome person I have ever known in my entire life. I vow to protect you from danger. And I don’t care if I have to fight an ultimate fighter, or a bear, or him (points to random guest), or your mom. I would take them down. I’m getting mad right now even telling you! I wanna spend the rest of my life, every minute, with you, and I am the luckiest man in the galaxy."
The Addams Family: Morticia & Gomez wedding reading
"I did not prepare my vows to you beforehand for I wasn't sure of what to say. Here and now I know what to say to you. These words are meant only for you.
