How To Plan Your Fabulous Wedding? 

Here is an example of traditional Roman Catholic Wedding Vows:

Groom: In the name of God, I (name) take you (name) to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow.

Bride: In the name of God, I (name) take you (name) to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow.

What Husbands Can't Resist.

A catholic wedding would not be a catholic wedding without the divine presence of a church officer or priest. This representative of God will work with you to insure that the catholic wedding vows are everything they should be as well as everything that you want them to be.

It may not be common for the Catholic Church to encourage vows that have been written by the bride and groom, but if you work with your priest, he will usually work with you.

If you aim to personalize your catholic wedding vows, try doing the following:

1. Follow the basic content of the traditional vows. Use them as a guide and then adjust a few words for presonal expression, clarification, or adjustment. Make them slightly more modern but still follow tradition.

2. Try to keep it short and sweet, but full of commitment and feeling.

3. Try editing for the essentials. You can discuss this will your priest and he will let you know if this is ok. Ask him what you can say instead of certain phrases if you have to leave something in.

Catholic wedding vows are all about how God will bless your marriage and how you will love and honor each other in His name. If you understand the concepts and religious aspects involved, then writing the vows should a meaningful experience.
