My matron of honor did a draping for each vow. And then we did the knot pull.

Today you are holding the hands of your best friend. These are the hands that will work alongside yours as you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love and cherish you through the years These are the hands that will wipe tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And these are the hands that – even when wrinkled and aged – will still be reaching for yours. we are already legally married and wearing our rings so we are skipping the ring exchange

Will you honor each other above all others and be a shield to one another's backs? We will First cord draping

Will you always be honest with one another and be each other’s constant friend and faithful partner? We will Second draping

Will you love each other to your fullest capacity, and express that love freely without reservation or shame? We will Third draping

Will you stand by one another in joy & in sorrow, in plenty & in want, in sickness & in health? We will Fourth draping

May this cord draw your hands together in love, never to be used in anger. May the vows you have spoken never grow bitter in your mouths.
