Have You Discussed Marriage Vows?

Promises. Commitments. Honor. Cherish.

Marriage Vows are the promise that each partner makes to the other in a marriage ceremony.

Traditional marriage vows can be traced back to medieval times. Once a couple has agreed to marry, The Church of England offered couples to promise each other to “love and cherish” or,, the groom promises to “love, cherish, and worship”, and the bride to “love, cherish, and obey”. Later the church removed the words “obey” from the traditional marriage vows.

Couples today still take traditional vows or many opt to write their own vows. Writing your own vows can be a great way to personalize your wedding. While writing your own vows isn’t for everyone it can easily be done.

Think about what you truly love about your significant other that you would like to share with your guests at your wedding. Your vows can be serious or lighthearted. Most vows are about one minute long, which is about 150 words. If they are much longer than that your guests may become bored and restless.

Discuss The Decision Together Respecting Each Other’s Feelings

Talk to your partner about what type of tone you will be using in your vows, whether serious or lighthearted, humorous, etc. so that both of you stick to a similar tone. You can be deeply romantic and expressive. You can share your favorite memories or stories that have been special moments in your relationship.

Think about what specific promises you want to make and when you are finished you will want to practice saying them.
