As a wedding officiant you may want to offer your services for Vow Renewal ceremonies.

Many couples choose to honor and celebrate their years in the sacred bonds of matrimony by having a vow renewal ceremony in which they reaffirm their wedding vows. I have put together the wording for a Vow Renewal Ceremony by taking the wording from the Promise Of Faithfulness, Tenderness and Helpfulness Wedding Ceremony and adapting it to be appropriate for a renewing of vows ceremony.

Compare the original Wedding Ceremony wording to the Vow Renewal Ceremony wording to get an idea of how I made changes in order to transform it.

The wedding vows are the part of the ceremony when the Bride and Groom make promises to each other and vow to keep their promises.

The Bride and Groom can make the same exact vows to one another or they may choose to have different vows for each other. Some traditional ceremonies have different vows based on gender specifics. Customizing the vows has gained in popularity and many wedding officiants assist the couple with the writing of their own unique vows.

Included in the examples below are traditional and contemporary vows as well as Christian wedding ceremony vows.

Wedding Vows:

1.

Officiant: To Groom: Repeat after me.

The following can be broken down line by line instead of said all at once.

I, _________________, receive you, __________________, as a gift of the Divine Grace of God, to be my lifelong companion. I will love you always; through times of laughter and tears, health and sickness, in plenty and in want, at work and at play. I will love you constantly and with the deepest loyalty. I will prayerfully seek your joy and happiness throughout our lives. Amen.

Officiant: To Bride: Repeat after me.

The following can be broken down line by line instead of said all at once.

I, _________________, receive you, __________________, as a gift of the Divine Grace of God, to be my lifelong companion. I will love you always; through times of laughter and tears, health and sickness, in plenty and in want, at work and at play. I will love you constantly and with the deepest loyalty. I will prayerfully seek your joy and happiness throughout our lives. Amen.

Can you discern between the various elements that make up a wedding ceremony?

The terms “vows” and “ceremony” are sometimes confused and are thought to be one and the same. Although vows are at the heart of a wedding ceremony, they are just one of the elements that make up a ceremony.
