Wedding vows don't have to be the same old traditional words
today. Make your vows a little more personal and more meaningful because they're coming from your heart.
When I was looking for wedding vows for our renewal ceremony, I looked all over the Web. And while I found some very
interesting words of love and devotion, what I found I needed
to do was take what I liked best from a few different samples
and incorporate them into the vows my husband and I would
repeat to each other.
You can do the same thing too! Just look around for a wide variety of different vow samples then add your own personal
touch to them; change a
word or phrase, move a
phrase or even remove a
phrase. Pull phrases from
one set of samples and
add them to others to
make a complete set of
vows that say what you
want to say.
So whether you're renewing your vows or you just want something a little less traditional, here are some sample wedding vows that will get you
started.
Feel free to use them as they are or reword them to fit your occasion.
SAMPLE 1
1:: Vows for a Vow Renewal Ceremony, including ring ceremony
Officiant: [Bride and Groom], please repeat after me…
I [bride/groom name] again take you, [bride/groom name], to
continue to be my partner in life,
I give to you my unending love and devotion.
I promise to be true to you and to cherish you,
And to share my thoughts, hopes and dreams with you.
I thank you for the time we’ve had together,
And it is with hope, faith and joy that I look forward to continuing
our journey.
And with this renewal of vows, our love and commitment will
grow ever stronger,
As long as we both shall live.
If you exchange rings:
Officiant:
[Bride and Groom], these rings are outward symbols of your ongoing
commitment to each other. Repeat after me:
From this day on, I recommit myself to you and give you this ring
as a symbol of my continued love and devotion.
Officiant:
May the love you two have celebrated here in the presence of your
family and friends, continue to grow in understanding, compassion,
love and devotion.
It is with great joy that I now announce to all present that you truly are
husband and wife, now and forever.
You may now seal your promises with a kiss.

[Bride/Groom], 25 years ago, I pledged my love and commitment to you, but it seems like only yesterday.

worse, for the rest of our lives.
