Examples of Wedding Vows
Looking for examples of wedding vows? Here are a few examples, from traditional to non-traditional wedding vows, to help you express your commitment and love.
Your wedding vows are usually the most personal and emotional part of the wedding ceremony. For some couples, the traditional vows may be as sincere as any vows that they can write. However, there are couples who feel that their love is such a special bond that they need to personalize their vows to express their true feelings for each other. By writing your own vows you can create a ceremony that reflects your true feelings for each other. Your vows may be taken from religious text, copied from poems, or written completely by you and your fiance. You can even use some of the words used in traditional vows. The words used in your personal vows should be a lifelong promise to honor and cherish and the commitment to love and support. Your vows may be read by the officiant and the bride and groom respond. Or the couple may write and read all of the vows themselves. Make sure you have discussed any personalization of the vows with your officiant before the day of the wedding, so there are no misunderstandings. Keep in mind when deciding on your vows, that this portion of the ceremony should be kept to under a minute.
