WEDDING VOWS
Your marriage vows are part of the most beautiful and sincere words that you will exchange in your life. They will touch your partner’s heart like it never has been touched.
Written in your own words, your marriage vows will be the most intimate expression of your love and future aspirations.
We will guide you during the exchange of your wedding vows by asking you to repeat short sentences after us. This way, you will not have to memorize your text and will avoid the risk of having a memory blank during the ceremony.
Here are three examples of wedding vows: 2 traditional and 1 more modern. You can adapt these vows, personalize them or even write your own vows. The following examples serve as inspirational guidelines.
Example of vows # 1
I, Catherine, take you, Patrick as my husband.
From this day forward,
to laugh with in joy,
to grieve with you in sorrow,
o grow with you in love,
and to be faithful to you alone
as long as we both shall live.

Example of vows # 3
In this more modern example, in turn, the spouses read the following sentences (naturally, you can personalize these sentences). First, the wife begins to read the text and point #1 and then the husband continues by reading point #2 and so on :
Patrick and I commit ourselves to:
- Love each other and to support one another when the moments are pleasant, but also to overcome the hardships
- Daily demonstrate and tell each other the love and the affection we have for one another
- Maintain with each other a sincere friendship where real conversations hold an important place
- Ensure that our family becomes a harbour of peace and security where each one of us feels appreciated and loved for who we are
- Reinvent, for the other, each day rather than let it waste away
- Always imagine new rituals that are true to our couple
- Offer each other our childhood dreams and those we have as adults
- Make the other laugh as often as possible
- Listen to what the other is saying, and mostly, what the other does not manage to say
- Respect the opposite aspirations of the other without ever derailing them
- Be constantly present in all the moments that we share
- Love the other as we love ourselves and even better if it is possible
- Recognize that we will never rule the other, but rather to let live and to love them
- Forgive, always
