Carpatho Russian Orthodox

This is a sect within the Eastern Orthodox Church that allows spoken vows, as opposed to the traditional silent vows taken during most Eastern Orthodox wedding ceremonies. Carpatho-Russian Orthodox marriage ceremonies are always quite formal, however.    

    "I, _______________, take you, _______________, as my wedded wife / husband and I promise you love, honor and respect; to be faithful to you, and not to forsake you until death do us part. So help me God, one in the Holy Trinity, and all the Saints."
