wedding vows by Rodney Barnes

Weddings are a chance to celebrate two people in love. Often, the most memorable part of the entire day is when the couple stands before everyone they care about to exchange their vows. In addition to creating the perfect ceremony, a marriage celebrant can help guide them while they write or research their vows. Our list of the top 5 wedding vows can serve as a starting point for writing or picking out the perfect wedding vows.

 

Traditional Vow

I, (name), take you (name), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

 

Humorous Vow

I, (name), take you (name), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, for even poorer when I’ve been shopping a lot, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

 

Heartfelt Vow

Today I marry my best friend, the one I will live with, dream with, and love. I (name) take you to be my husband/wife/partner. From this day forward I will cherish you, looking with joy down the path of our tomorrows knowing we will walk it together side by side, hand in hand and heart to heart.

 

Reflective Vow

I, (name), take you, (name), to be my beloved (wife/husband), to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life.

 

Personal Vow

Possibly, the most memorable vows are personalized by the bride and groom. Whether it’s a witty poem, love song, or unforgettable story, guests in attendance will remember the couple’s unique and heartfelt words to each other. Couples should not be afraid to get creative and say what they feel to each other on their special day.

 

Some couples prefer to stick to the traditional vow, while others prefer a less serious tone. A marriage celebrant can help when it comes to researching this area.
