Marriage Vows

 

Marriage begins in the giving of words. We cannot join ourselves to one another without giving our word. And this must be an unconditional giving, for in joining ourselves to one another, we are making a commitment to share all of life’s possibilities.

 

Some examples

Ring Vows

 

The wedding rings are an outward and visible sign not only to you, but to those around you of the inward and spiritual commitments that you are making here today. I challenge you not to let them be just another piece of jewelry on your finger. When you look down at them, I want you to remember this special day, the promises that you have made, and those friends and family that are here to support you.- 

 

Option 1  Groom to his Bride

_________with this ring I thee wed, I give you my promise, from this day forward you shall not walk alone, my arms are your shelter; my heart is your home, wear this ring always, as a reminder of my love and commitment to you.

 

Bride to her Groom,_______ with this ring I thee wed, I give you my promise, from this day forward you shall not walk alone, my arms are your shelter; my heart is your home, wear this ring always, as a reminder of my love and commitment to you

 

 

Option 2 Groom & Bride:This ring, which has no beginning and no end, symbolizes the love and trust between us that will never cease. May its presence on your hand remind you of my love and vow. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the promises which have made us husband and wife.-
