Here's another wedding song you might be interested in. It was done by Johnny Cash.

I PROMISE YOU
Words and music by Johnny Cash
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "A Thing Called Love" (1972)

I promise you the day you marry me,
I'll be everything to you that I should be,
And while you're in the springtime of your years,
You'll not know what it's like to shed a tear.
I'll be the same through all that we go through,
I promise you, I promise you.

I promise you for richer or for poor,
I'll more than share each pain that you endure,
And when you're in the autumn of your years,
Call me in the night and I'll be near.
I'll love you and I'll let you know I do,
I promise you, I promise you.

I promise you for better or for worse,
I'll stand by you as I did at the first,
And when you're in the winter of your years,
I'll be right by your side to dry your tears.
Yes, I'll be the same through all that we go through,
I promise you, I promise you.

I promise you, I promise you.
