I hope this works better than the other three.

My second wedding was a civil ceremony. No mention of any gods or religion.
Also had the word "obey" removed.
A friend timed the whole thing, from start to finsih, at 3 minutes, 52 seconds.
Then we all went on to a 9 1/2 hour reception. To this day, it is still the best
party I've ever been to.

What we have together is so special that we need to pull the government into the process

I'll love you as long as you can tolerate my shit and I can tolerate yours.

Just kidding.

Even though this child may not be mine, at least it will be one more tax deduction for us.

I promise to love, honor, and cherish you until such time as Tom Hiddleston comes to whisk me away.

"i'll love you untill one minute after you stop loving me...I'promise'"

I’ll be yours until the end of our marriage. No?

"We vow to have each others' backs as long as we both shall love."

I've already found out that staying past the end of love and respect is dangerous, especially for the woman.

I was not married in a church, my ex is catholic and she has nuns priests etc in her family, my mother is a church elder form a very religious family, so you can imagine how a civil wedding in a garden went down.
I went with Gibran,

Let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Not sure this is Atheist, but I like it:

Are you high?

Honest , accurate communication, affection, stimulation, not perfect, admit errors. problem solve. Could be interesting. Thinking back I may have wiggled away from a couple that thought they had me pinned down. That sanctimonious flim flam that comes with religion somehow gave me cause to catch my sense of reality and escape.

Vous should be as deep as your thoughts and feelings for you want to be as honest as possible.

"I will never betray your trust."

I stole some vows from Wheel of Time but I should have spoken louder and maybe picked different words and probably should have filed that marriage license so we didn't have to file for common law later.

A relaionship works best when a couple is honest and respectful with each other. If I got married, somwhere in there woudl be a promise to always be honest with each other.

My ex and I had simple vows as we were married by a Justice of the Peace under the big tree in my front yard.

Reading these comments put me off marriage even more (didn't know it was possible) many of you don't know when to cut your losses. It's almost masochistic!

You made an athiest get married you must be special

Depends on the person. That's a toughy.

I already done it... I am a songwriter.

If you mean it... "I had been waiting for you all my life... and here you are wanting me as I am."

My wife and I used the following from Kahlil Gibran from his book "The Prophet"
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Do you mean looking into their eyes as in deep into their soul? If so, wouldn't that be the opposite of being an atheist?
