wedding vows God's way?

I'm getting married in two weeks. We went to the baptist church to talk to the pasture, he decided that he will do the marriage. Not long in the conversation, did the subject of vows come up and he asked if we wrote our own or would we like to choose from a template? I was a little confused, I thought there pretty much a set biblical way that vows must be given so that marriage would reflect God's intended purpose?

Any how, some thoughts on this subject... I also found these vows online and hope these are well rooted in God's word.

Name of bridegroom , will you have this woman to be your wedded wife, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony as God ordained it? Will you nourish and cherish her as Christ loved His body the Church, giving Himself up for her? Will you love, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others remain united to her alone, as long as you both shall live? Then say: I will.

Name of bride , will you have this man to be your wedded husband, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony as God ordained it? Will you submit to him as the Church submits to Christ? Will you love, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others remain united to him alone, as long as you both shall live? Then say: I will.

    Just ask for the standard vows that comes from the true word of God from the KJV bible.
