Wedding Services

The formal words of the marriage ceremony are HERE - Simpler forms of the wedding services wording are now permitted by law.

Here are some examples of what may be said at wedding services:

As the couple exchange rings they also exchange vows -

"You are my beloved and my best friend - This ring is a symbol of our union - a token of my faith and love - I give it and myself to you with all my heart."

Simple vows that express devotion and trust for each other:

"I ....... take you ........ to be no longer by yourself. Loving what I know of you, trusting what I do not know, with respect for your integrity, and faith in your love for me through all our years, and in all that life may bring us."

Vows that declare hope for a relationship built on honesty and respect:

"I want to create with you a living example of the beautiful relationship that is intended between a woman and a man."

"I commit my life to our partnership in marriage - I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you, to speak openly and honestly. - To listen to you and to maintain the respect and trust that has grown between us."

"You are my lover, my teacher, my accomplice and my true counter part."

"I will love you, hold you and honour you - respect you, encourage you and cherish you, in sickness, through sorrow and success - for all the days of my life."

Vows that pledge unending love and friendship include:

"........... - You are my best friend and the one I want to share the rest of my life with."

"I will love you forever."
