Traditional Vs Non-Traditional Vows.

Lately, couples  have chosen to write their own vows, rather than repeat what the officiator says verbatim.
There are traditional vows from just about every denomination faith and religion, but when it boils down to it, I love the non-traditional vows.

Below are some vows I've come across. I hope you find them as interesting as I did.

From this day forward I promise you these things..

I will laugh with you in times of joy and comfort you in times of sorrow.
I will share in your dreams, and support you as you strive to achieve your goals.
I will listen to you with compassion and understanding,
and speak to you with encouragement.
I will help you when you need it, and step aside when you don't.
I will remain faithful to you for better or worse, in times of sickness and health.


You are my best friend and I will love and respect you always
I love you. You are my best friend.

Today I give myself to you in marriage.
I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you,
and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
when life seems easy and when it seems hard,
when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.
I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard
These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.





We pledge to each other to be loving friends and partners in marriage.

To talk and to listen, to trust and appreciate one another; to respect
and cherish each other's uniqueness; and to support, comfort
and strengthen each other through life's joys and sorrows.
We promise to share hopes, thoughts and dreams
as we build our lives together.
May our lives be ever intertwined, our love keeping us together.
We will build a home that is compassionate to all, full of respect
and honor for others and each other.
May our home be forever filled with peace, happiness and love.



There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. - George Sands
