Romantic traditions: wedding vows

Vows at the wedding in recent years have become very popular phenomena. And if during the wedding in the Orthodox Church the exchange of vows is inappropriate and does not enter into the rite, then during the procedure of marriage in the registry office or on the road, young people can quite say something important to each other, make love promises.

The oath of the bride and groom brings romance and sensuality into the rather laconic procedure. Even the most unemotional guests die heart, when touching words about love, loyalty and desire to live with each other a long and beautiful life sound. This beautiful wedding tradition is found in many European ceremonies, both civil and ecclesiastical.

Naturally, vows can be not only serious, but also comic. Then they are able to defuse the nervous situation and give an occasion to smile once again.

The vow of the bride

Wedding vows usually consist of several parts. At first, young people tell each other how happy they are that they met their mate, thanking their fate for it. Then there are the promises and commitments. You can read a passage from a suitable work or, if you have a good ear, sing a song-oath. The main thing is that all words come from the heart and be filled with sincerity.

Before you start writing a wedding vow of a bride, you need to negotiate with the groom what your marriage vows will be: romantic or comic, since it is better to sustain them in the same style. Include your favorite music that brings pleasant memories of your loved one, tune in to a romantic mood and try to convey on the paper or by computer the words of your feelings and hopes. Remember that you will also be listened to by guests, so avoid unnecessarily intimate details.

The text of the wedding vow should not be very long. Even 2 minutes is too long. Try to be brief, but convincing. After writing an oath, properly rehearse it in front of a mirror or in front of a girlfriend to give your speech as much charm and eloquence.

The text of the wedding vows may be as follows:

You are with me in the morning, you are with me at night, you are with me in joy, you are with me in sorrow, in my thoughts, in my dreams, but most of all, darling, you are in my heart. Forever!

***

Vows of the groom

Many men neglect marriage vows, believing that expressing their feelings in public is not a good idea. However, if your loved one dreams of hearing from you the words of love at a wedding, then you should not upset her. In the end, it is not necessary to write an oath yourself. You can take the finished texts or read a romantic poem, taking the bride by the hand and looking at her with a piercing look in her eyes.

In the oath of the groom at the wedding, there are usually promises to protect the wife from all hardships, to protect and to be a faithful friend always and in everything.

Examples of wedding vows of the groom

All my thoughts about you, my immortal love.

I can only live with you or not live at all ...

Love me and never condemn the faithful heart of your lover.

Forever yours.

Forever is mine.

Together forever.

***

From the moment when I first saw you and found out what kind of person you are, I realized that I want to live with you all my life. The mind, the beauty, the soulfulness of which you have been endowed by nature, inspire and make me feel better. I promise to love you always, all my life. I promise to respect you, always be honest and faithful to you. I solemnly swear to you in this.

To speak and listen, trust and appreciate each other, respect and cherish each other's uniqueness;

Maintain and do more each other during all the life's joys and sorrows.

We promise to share our hopes, thoughts and dreams, for as long as we are worth our joint life.

Let our life be forever bound and our love helps us to be together.

We will build a house in which harmony will reign.

Let our house be filled with peace, happiness and love.

I promise and cherish you and love you.

All bad - forget, understand everything, forgive everything.

I will surround you with care, attention, warmth.

I swear to those who are at this table

Do not feel sorry for you warm words of affection.

I swear to keep tenderness, faith, love!

I will remember that day, a hot look, tender nonsense,

And a moment when the fire broke out.

That sacred fire I swear to keep!

Do not break the understanding of a thin thread.

Divide in half the bitterness, sweetness, dream.

And take off to an unthinkable height.

Fall - together, and together stand obstinately.

In the morning you and the baby are kissing.

In grief, in weakness, in fear - I will not turn away,

I will not sell, I will not betray and I will not leave, I swear!

Comic Wedding Vows

Especially appropriate oaths with a share of humor, if the wedding is themed. For example, in the sea or folk style. It is difficult to write such text yourself, it is better to take ready or consult a toastmaster.

Was yesterday yesterday (mother's name), today is already (the name of the groom). Well, I'm taking command in my hands. And I promise that there will never be boredom in our house! I swear not to be capricious, only on some days. I honestly promise that I will always find a spouse in the house! Every month, honestly, I will accept the salary, sending it to the right track.

***

I promise there will always be lunch and dinner on the table, so that the union will be strong and amicable. I will not abandon my husband, because for me he is the best and good. I will not give it to anyone! Well, if necessary, I'll beat him myself!

***

I, the wife, undertake to love my husband

And in the heat and cold, grief for two divide!

Do not contradict and do not anger,

Do not wake up early in the morning!

And also it is tasty to feed every day!

To work in vain not to drive,

Salary in time to withdraw!

On holidays - a cup of intoxicating to serve!

Sons of good give out,

And do not forget about your daughter!

When is it better to pronounce wedding vows?

If you are married in the church for a Protestant rite, you can exchange vows by putting rings on each other. In the Orthodox rite, this is inappropriate.

To make an oath at a ceremony in the registry office, you need to warn your registrar in advance, as the process is strictly regulated.

In addition, the vows of the bride and groom can open a feast or pre-dance their first dance.
