Sweet Snippets: Wedding Vows
No truer words are spoken from the heart then those of wedding vows. These words are filled with emotion,regardless of the size or magnificence of the wedding, My parents wrote their own vows, and to this day they still have them. When I asked why they did it, they told me that they wanted a bit of themselves in the ceremony. Today there are many couples opting to write their vows, sometimes an overwhelming thing to do. So I decided to search the world wide web for heart-melting words.
Below are some examples, as well as links to websites with wonderful examples of vows. You can also use poetry, or perhaps your favorite piece of literature as an inspiration. Remember, you are writing these words for your soul mate and no one else. When the world is watching, he will see only you.
These words are some of the most important words that you may ever speak, so speak honestly and with love.

My love for you, _______,
Is steadfast.
Unwavering, timeless…
And forever.
As the sea slowly slips upon the shore,
So will I always hold you dear;
As the sun appears with every dawn,
So will my love always shine on you.
Constant will my life be
Wholly one with yours,
Constant will I share with you
Laughter, tears, and tenderness.
Constant will I promise
To respect and honor you,
To encourage your dreams,
Conscious of your desires.
Constant will my compassion
And kindness be
In times of frustration
And in fear.
Always I am here, _______;
When clouds hide the face of the Moon,
Lost for a spell in darkness will
We know its brilliance still glows.
Constant in mystery,
Its beauty cast upon us,
We walk side by side;
Our journey together.
Constant as the sea,
As the sun,
And the moon
Is my love for you.

From the moment our paths crossed,
You’ve surprised me,
Distracted me,
Captivated me,
And challenged me in a way
That no human being ever has.
I’ve fallen in love with you again and again,
Countless times, without reservation,
And I still can’t believe that today I get to marry my best friend.
I promise to be true to you,
To uplift and support you,
To frustrate and challenge you,
And to share with you the beautiful moments of life.
Someday, if the stars align,
I might even let you win an argument.
No matter what trials we encounter together or how much time has passed,
I know that our love will never fade,
That we will always find strength in one another,
And that we will continue to grow side by side.
I believe in the truth of what we are,
And I will love you always,
With every beat of my heart.
