Vows

On this page are many samples of short vows that can stand alone or be utilized in combination with each other. Please take a moment to read through and let me know what you think. Any vows may be customized by you in any way you desire.

Groom and Bride have asked you here today because each one of you has touched their lives in some special way. They hold you, their family and friends, as a valued part of who they are as individuals, and who they will become as a married couple. Your presence is a gift of support and caring, and they appreciate your sharing this very special moment. We are gathered here, not to witness the beginning of what will be, but rather what already is! Today, we celebrate with Bride and Groom, and their families, the wondrous and joyful occurrence that has already taken place in their lives.

Groom, do you take this woman whose hand you now hold, choosing her alone to be your wedded wife? Will you love her, and comfort her with kindness, understanding and respect throughout your lives?

Now you will feel no rain
for each of you will be shelter to the other
Now you will feel no cold
for each of you will be warmth to the other
Now there is no loneliness for you
for each of you will be companion to the other
Now you are two persons
but there is one life before you
Go now to your dwelling place
to enter into the days of your togetherness
And may your days be good and long upon this earth

The wedding ring serves as a symbol of the promise you have just spoken. It is the outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible love which binds your hearts together. Wear them as a sign of the love that exists between you, the love which now your hearts enfold and your words express.

Bride, I give you this ring as token that I shall love you in all times, in all places and in all ways, forever.
Groom, I give you this ring as token that I shall love you in all times, in all places and in all ways, forever.

These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go, may they always return to one another in their togetherness. May these two find in each other, the love for which all men and women long. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home that they establish be such a place of sanctuary that many will find there a friend. And may these two rings symbolize the spirit of undying love in the hearts of both of them. I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss!!

Mr. and Mrs. ????????
