Wedding Vows - Free wedding vows samples
The wedding vows are promises made by the bride and groom to each other during a wedding ceremony. You can chose to write your own wedding vows, rather than relying on standard wedding vows samples. In Western culture, this pledge has traditionally included the notions of affection (love, comfort, keep), faithfulness (forsaking all others), unconditionality (for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health), and permanence (as long as we both shall live, until death do us part).
As I place this ring on your finger, it’s perfect symmetry is a symbol of our perfect love. It has no beginning and no ending, a symbol of the eternal commitment we have made to each other today.

Bride and Groom:
(Wife/husband’s name), I promise to be a good and faithful husband/wife to you, and also a patient, loving father/mother to (children’s names), caring for them and providing for them as my own.
I promise to be their strength and their emotional support, loving them with all my heart forever.
The childs can repeat ‘We do’ after these words:
And now, (children’s names), do you promise to love and respect your parent’s new husband/wife? Do you promise to support their marriage and new family?
Do you promise to accept the responsibility of being their children, and to encourage them and support them in your new life together?”
May our love be modern enough to survive the times and old-fashioned enough to last forever!

As we enter upon the privileges and joys of life’s most holy relationship, and begin together the great adventure of building a Christian home, I will look to Christ as Head of our home as I have looked to Him as Head of the Church. I will love you in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, in sorrow as in joy, and will be true to you by God’s grace, trusting in Him, so long as we both shall live.
