The Declaration, the Vows and the Rings

What do the couple promise, and in what words?

Your question and their answer, the vows from six service books side by side, how the books differ on “obey”, vows a couple write themselves, and the words for the rings.

A high priest in a gold mitre holds Mary's wrist as Joseph slips a ring onto her finger, with Anna and other women behind Mary and young men behind Joseph.
