Late Marriage Wedding Vows - Free Late Marriage 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).
I offer you not the “summer of my life” but the autumn, brisk and vibrant.
I promise to be a companion worthy of your precious friendship.
I pledge you compassion in good times and bad; encouragement in sickness and health.
It is my intent that our life together include our large circle of friends and loving families. We’ll cherish the memories of our individual pasts and create our new life as we go now together.
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?”
Groom:
I love you (Bride’s name) and I love (our/your) children (children’s names) as my very own.
Today as we become man and wife, we also will become a true family. I promise to be faithful to you, and a loving father to our children, and I will be there for you and for the children always. Read the rest of this vow »

I have pledged my love to you and promised to be a faithful wife / husband. Now I want to add another, different kind of vow. I promise to love (Children’s Names) for all of our days and to treat them as if they were my own.
I gladly accept the obligations that go along with this pledge. I love (Children’s Names) and want them to be part of my life.
If the marriage ceremony involves minor children coming into the family, sometimes the new parent will state a vow also to the child.
He/she will address each child by name and then state a short vow accepting the children as their own and making a commitment to them. A new parent’s vow to the children is not required but always welcomed.
“(State children name(s), “________, I promise to accept and love you as my own children and to protect and love you all of my life. I promise to do my best to guide and support you - and to respect you enough to allow you to see the world through your own eyes.”
