Vows

I haven't talked much about the ceremony here.  The reason for that...well, I can't for the life of me figure out what I want.  It's the most important part of the day and it's the one thing I've having a heck of a time with.

J wants traditional vows.

I would like traditional vows, but I want to incorporate something more modern as well.

I found these vows from Oct/Nov 2009 issue of Modern Bride and I'm in love.  The bride and groom each wrote their own vows, but I'm just going to type of the bride's because it's shorter.  If you would like to see both sets, check out page 176 of this issue.  The last line is the same in both sets of the vows.

Matt, I love you because you care for me like no one else in the world.  You make me feel loved, safe, and beautiful.  
I love you because you always take the burnt piece of French toast and let me have the one that's cooked perfectly.
I love your deep belief in me as a person and as a partner.
I promise to keep both of us in view, to remain flexible as we build the rest of our lives around one another's needs and happiness.
I promise to be here, to be the one to help you stay grounded, to be the one you come home to, in the biggest sense of that word.
I promise to always encourage you to be your fullest self, and I will gratefully accept the same in return.
I promise to continue our efforts to build a relationship founded on deep respect for partnership.
I promise to always believe in you, and in this marriage.

I really love this idea and would love to figure out a way to incorporate it into our ceremony along with the traditional "...In sickness and in health, till death do us part..."  I'm thinking if I can't find a way to incorporate it, then we can each write these into our cards to each other.  Any ideas?
