Traditional Wedding Vows
Traditional wedding vows take us back to the good old days when the bride and groom expressed their commitment to each other through the traditional vows. Nowadays wedding vows are an expression of the heart and may or may not be phrased in a formal way. But still the charm of the traditional wedding vows haven’t been lost.

Renewing Wedding Vows
In this world where divorce is so common, a couple managing to stay together calls for a celebration. If you and your spouse have made it to a significant anniversary and want to have a “do-over” wedding, then consider a wedding vow renewal. A renewal of wedding vows can be meaningful ceremony for you, your children and friends. It is a time to pause and reflect as to where you have been and where are you going.
Wedding Renewal Vow will set a wonderful example for your children and grandchildren. Just imagine the children watching their parents joining hands and hearts as they affirm the magnitude and strength of their enduring love. What a wonderful scene it will be and what a greater life lesson to learn. Afterwards many couples will comment as to how surprisingly romantic they felt.
Here are some samples of the renewing wedding vows:
When you first joined hands and hearts 40 years ago, you did not know where life would take you. You promised to love, honor and cherish one another through all things. Life has surely brought you both wonderful blessings and difficult tribulations. Therefore, you have fulfilled your promise. And God is smiling! So, as you come here today to reaffirm
your wedding vows and as you reflect back over all the years as husband and wife, do you now reaffirm the vows you took 40 years
ago? If so, repeat after me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Once before, I have stood with you before family and friends; once again, I take your hand as my partner. (Name), I take you this day, and for all days, as my (husband/wife)."
“I am proud to marry you on this day. I promise to wipe away your tears with my laughter and your pain with my caring and compassion. We will wipe clean the old canvases of our lives and let God, with His amazing artistic talent, fill them with new colors, harmony and beauty. I give myself to you completely, and I promise to love you always, from this day forth."
“I believe in this marriage more strongly than ever. (Name), it is with joy born of experience and trust that I commit myself once again to be your (husband/wife)."
"I, (name), give to you, (name), a new promise, and yet not so new; a new (husband/wife), and yet not so new; and a new affirmation of love from the heart that has loved you for (__) years and will love you for as many more as God allots to it."
Know that there are sections for vow renewals in most wedding books. Your readings can be tailored to a more mature love. The Anniversary Song by Naomi Long Madgett is popular with couples and is often read along side a biblical verse.
