Wilt thou,( .......)forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, as long as ye both shall live?


Explanation:
These are the exact rather archaic words that the priest uses to address the bridegroom, in the Book of Common Prayer, in regular use in English churches for centuries until a couple of decades or so ago.

agree  Marijke Mayer: This is the commonly known phrase and therefore the best translation!
24 mins
neutral  John Kinory (X): Well, yes, but there is the 'parting by death bit'? It is also part of the text, as evidenced by the hugely popular TV sitcom of that name.

agree  John Kinory (X): Just the usual friendly Christmas spirit we know and love! Also, there is no such thing as 'the' translations: only translations done by native speakers, and those that are not.

Will you, until death parts you, be faithful to each other every day of your lives?


Explanation:
another suggestion.

From one native speaker to another: I have just translated some text by another native speaker (of German). The label 'native speaker' means nothing, I am absolutely sure!

agree  Maya Jurt: Happy 02 Old John uses every chance he gets. ;-)
47 mins
  -> Thanks! A Happy 2002 to You!
agree  John Kinory (X): Ursula, I'd be happy to sit any translation test into English vs MJ, at any time. Even if she HAS, out of spite, squashed a whole question on the spurious grounds that my version is 'old-fashioned'. No Swiss in Geneva is going to teach me English.
6 hrs
  -> 1. My opinion: Only drastically offensive questions should be squashed. 2. A good writer/ translator will apply logic, structure and discipline to any of his/her expressions. Everything else is secondary to me. I like to learn from anyone, anywhere.
