I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night
And the eyes into which I smile in the morning
I pledge to you the first bite from my meat
And the first drink from my cup
I pledge to you my living and my dying, equally in your care
And tell no strangers our grievances
This is my wedding vow to you
This is a marriage of equals

Funny... most of these could be called "modernistic American wedding vows"... especially the line about "while we both wish it, I give you what is mine to give". Many divorces happen today because one or both people stop "wishing it".
As for me and my marriage, give me "until death do us part".
