I assume you would prefer versions with fewer references to Jesus, but I fully support the idea of people giving the same vows other people give, and the acknowlegment that love poetry is not easily composed by amateurs whose only qualification is that they are presently under the influence of love.

I can't improve upon what's there. And yes, we will just delete the references to Jesus. Except that's my new husband's name.
