I, Jon, give you, Narcisso, this vow of my love.
I give you my heart, full of love and tenderness for you.
I give you my ears, which tune to your voice first.
I give you my vulnerability, which finds comfort in your strength.
I give you my spirit, which seeks your spirit as its partner in the dance of life.
I give you my desire to be your most beloved companion through all the joys and trails of our life together.
Do you, Doug take Samantha, to be your wife;
do you promise to be her loving and loyal partner, to cherish and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, to be faithful only to her as long as you both shall live?
There are many resources on the internet that provide examples of vows and exercises to do if you want to write your own. So as not to recreate the wheel, I’ll just post a few links here that I have come across that I have found helpful.
Plan-your-own-wedding-ceremony.com has a lot of helpful information, sample readings, decor tips, and of course, vows! Click here for their vows page.
The Indie Bride message boards contain tons of valuable discussions, including sample vows. Click here for the Indiebride.com vows discussion.
I thought I’d also post the vows from my own wedding…
