Contemporary Wedding Vows |
I give myself to you in marriage and vow to be your
husband/wife all the days of our lives. I give you my hands and take
your hands in mine as a symbol and pledge of our uniting in one
flesh. I give you my love, the outpouring of my heart, as a symbol
and pledge of our uniting in one spirit. I give you this ring from
out of my possessions as a symbol and pledge of our uniting as one
family.
I, ______________, take you, ______________, to be my

I vow here that this love will be my
only love.
I will make my home in your heart from this day
forward………….
The Rose Wedding We are familiar with two
wedding traditions in which roses are used. In one, the mothers are
given, roses as tokens of the bride and groom’s love for family.
This is often kept as a secret from the family until the roses are
presented. In another, roses are exchanged as the bride and groom's
first gifts to one another as a married couple.
Short Rose
Ceremony
___________ and __________, you will remember this day
for the rest of your lives. Those of us who are already married know
that marriage, like life, brings with it many joys and many
challenges. We also know that love, while beautiful, does not always
show its prettiest face. There are days when we may find it hard to
express the depth of our love for one another. It is my hope and
prayer that the two of you will set aside a special place in your
home for roses, ancient symbols of love. When words fail you, or
when the challenges of life or marriage begin to weigh on you, go
out and get a rose, and put it in that special place in your home,
so that the other will be reminded of this moment, and of the love
you feel for one another. As a token of that love, I would like to
ask you to make these roses your first gifts to one another as a
married couple.

Renewal Of Marriage Vows This ceremony
usually has the same elements as the traditional or contemporary
ceremonies. The main difference is what is said during the exchange
of vows and declaration. Here is a sample
The word renaissance means rebirth;
today we celebrate the rebirth of our commitment
before this honored gathering.
_________________, with full
confidence in the solid anchor of our love,
I take you once again
as my (husband/wife).
Once before I have stood with you
before family and friends;
once again I take your hand as my
partner.
________________, I take you this day
and for all days as my (husband/wife)
I believe in this marriage more
strongly than ever.
______________, it is with joy born of
experience and trust
that I commit myself once again to be your
(husband/wife)
Perhaps the only thing truer than
one's first love
is to re-commit to that love before family and
friends.
______________, you were and are my
love for life;
I take you from this day forward as my
(husband/wife)
I,______________, give to
you,____________________, a new promise and yet not so new; a new
(husband/wife), and yet not so new;
and a new affirmation of love
from the heart that has loved you for (x) years and will love you
for as many more as God allots to it.
