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).
Second Marriage vows
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.

Second Marriage vows
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.”

As we stand beside the ocean tide, may our love always be as constant and unchanging as these never-ending waves that pour
beneath our feet, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea.
Your love came softly upon my heart, just as the foam comes softly upon the sand, and just as there will never be a morning without the ocean’s flow, so there will never be a day without my love for you.
