Wedding Vows – 7 Examples Of Vows For Wedding Ceremonies

Wedding Vows for Wedding Ceremonies
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.
