Welcome to our free wedding vows & ideas!

Congratulations on your engagement.  

These words, for a very romantic wedding vow, are quite beautiful:-

I love you.  
You are my best friend.
Today I give myself to you in marriage.   
I promise to encourage and inspire you,
to laugh with you, and to comfort you in
times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in
bad, when life seems easy and when it
seems hard,  when our love is simple,
and when it is an effort.  
I promise to cherish you, and to always
hold you in highest regard.
These things I give to you today,
and all the days of our life.


and here's some words that you might like to use, or adapt when you write
your own wedding vows:-

I promise to give you the best of myself
and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person
and to realize that your interests, desires and needs
are no less important than my own.

I promise to share with you my time and my
attention and to bring joy, strength and imagination
to our relationship.

I promise to keep myself open to you,
to let you see through the window of my world
into my innermost fears and feelings,
secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you,
to be willing to face changes in order to keep our
relationship alive and exciting.

I promise to love you in good times and bad,
with all I have to give and all I feel inside
in the only way I know how,
completely and forever.


You might choose to end your vows with a poem, for example, this verse by
James Weldon Johnson:

"The world, for me,
and all the world can hold
is circled in your arms,
for me their lies
within the lights and shadows of your eyes
the only beauty that is never old."

Here's the wording for some traditional Irish vow of unity:-

We swear by peace and love to stand,
Heart to heart and hand to hand.
Mark, O Spirit, and hear us now,
Confirming this our Sacred Vow

and an Old Irish Wedding Vow

By the power that Christ brought from heaven, mayst thou love me.
As the sun follows its course, mayst thou follow me.
As light to the eye, as bread to the hungry, as joy to the heart,
May thy presence be with me,
Oh one that I love, `til death comes to part us asunder.
