Vows for your wedding

I have been going through books, researching online, etc. etc. etc. etc. for different vows. We are having a spring outdoor wedding that won't be very religious so I have been trying to find options that fit that.

Here are some of my favorites that I found from The Knot...

“I promise, ______, before family and friends, to commit my love to you; to respect your individuality, to be with you through life’s changes; and to nurture and strengthen the love between us, as long as we both shall live.”

“I love you. And I look forward to being your friend and companion, your wife/husband and lover for life. I promise to love you and respect you; to stand by you and be faithful to you; to be open and honest with you; and to always work toward our mutual growth. I promise this with the help of God, for the good times and the bad times, till death do us part.”

“I, ____, cherish you, ______.
For being all that you are,
All that you are not,
And all that you can be.
Know that I am here for you,
And that your pain will be mine,
And your job mine as well.
All I ask is you—your love—your trust—your caring.
I choose you to be my wife/husband.”

“I take you to be my wife/husband, my friend, my love, and my lifelong companion: to share my life with yours. To build our dreams together, while allowing you to grow with your dreams; to support you through times of trouble, and rejoice with you in times of happiness; to treat you with respect, love, and loyalty through all the trials and triumphs of our lives together; and to give you all the love I can give my whole life long. This commitment is made in love, kept in faith, lived in hope, and enternally made new.”

"I promise to love and care for you and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love.
I will always be honest with you, kind, patient, and forgiving.
I promise to keep a sense of humor.
But most of all, I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you.
I love you."

What are you doing for your vows? Are you writing your own? We are honestly too scared to write our own because we both know that we would be fighting back tears the whole way through and I honestly don't think I could get them out without full on crying!!
