Just because having a wedding ceremony and reception take place traditionally, doesn’t mean your vows need to follow down the same path. Many couples have made the decision to venture down a new path and create their own unique and personal wedding vows to share with one another. Here is a look at some of the best non traditional wedding vows that are anything but boring.
“All that I am and all that I have, I offer to you in love and in joy. From this day forward I will love and comfort you, hold you close, prize you above all others, and remain faithful to you all the days of our lives.”
“Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again. I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my life with you, caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you in all life has for us, and I vow to be true and faithful for as long as we both shall live.”
“I am proud to marry you this day. I promise to wipe away your tears with my laughter, and your pain with my caring and my compassion. We will wipe out the old canvases of our lives and let God, with His amazing artistic talent, fill them with new color, harmony and beauty. I give myself to you completely, and I promise to love you always, from this day forth.”
“I commit myself to years of growth and sharing as I encourage you to move in new direction. I will strive to achieve my potential as God’s creature and will celebrate your progress toward the same goal. I give myself as I am and as I will be, and I do it for all of life.”
“I love you. Today is a very special day. Long ago you were just a dream and a prayer.Thank you for being what you are to me. With our future as bright as the promises of God, I will care for you, honor and protect you. I lay down my life for you my friend and my love.”
“I promise I’ll hold off on watching the next episode of whichever show we’re into until we can watch it together.”
“I promise to be the ears that always listen to you even when we’re really old and can’t hear that well.”
“I promise to love you as the person you are, not the person I expected you to be.”
“I promise to love you, respect you, support you, and above all else, make sure I’m not just yelling at you because I’m hungry.”
“I promise to remember that neither one of us is perfect. But will strive to remind myself of the ways we are perfect for each other.”
“I promise to return from trips to the dryer with every sock pair matched. If one goes missing I’ll make it my life’s mission to find it.”
“I promise to trust you even when we deviate from our grocery lists, GPS directions, or life goals.”
“I used to be afraid of falling in love, of giving my heart away. How could I trust a man/woman to love me, to give to me all that I wanted to give him/her? When I met you, I realized how much we could share together. You have renewed my life. Today I join that life with yours.”
“I used to not believe in soulmates. I’m here today because you made me Believe.”
“I vow to believe you when you compliment me. And I promise that in return I’ll only use sarcasm when necessary.”
“I vow to fight by your side in the zombie apocalypse. And should you turn into one, I promise to let you bite me so I can be one too.”
“I vow to give you all the affection, support, and love I give my cats. Thanks for making me less of a crazy cat lady.”
“I vow to love each day anew, for love must dance through time and space. These things I promise I will do.”
“It is the greatest desire of my heart to be faithful to you and to love you always, seeking to meet your every need, desiring to help in every way, listening to you, encouraging you, comforting you and standing by your side in whatever circumstances may face us in the years ahead. I will respect you, honor you and strive for harmony in our marriage with a quiet and gentle spirit.”
“Respecting each other, we commit to live our lives together for all the days to come. I ask you to share this world with me, for good and ill. Be my partner, and I will be yours.”
“Today seems like it’s the start of a new journey, but I already belong to you. It feels like we’re finally going home.”
“Today, a day of music and celebration, I pledge to share my life with you, whether the days that come are happy or sad, I will live them with you.”
“Today, as I give myself to you my mind is clear and my commitment is strong and without reservation. I take you to be my life’s partner. I will never leave you nor forsake you; I will spend all my days at your side. We will share a lifetime of eternal, immeasurable love.”
“Whatever lies ahead, good or bad, we will face together. Distance may test us for a time, and time may tire us. But if we look at each other first, we will always see a friend. Look to me for all the days to come. Today, I take my place as your husband/wife.”
“You are my vow, I’ll keep it by continuing to love you every moment of every day.”
