marriage vows

Altar-spoken commitments

Marriage vows are the solemn promises exchanged between two people during a wedding ceremony, typically pledging love, fidelity, and commitment for life.

Traditional vows often include phrases like "for better or worse" and "till death do us part," though many couples now write personalized versions.

The vows constitute the central ritual act that transforms an engagement into a legal and spiritual union.

They wrote their own marriage vows and practiced reading them aloud.
