WEDDING VOW DEFINITIONS

Traditional vows. Traditional vows promise your love to your future spouse in a standard way without mentioning God or the presence of a dominant religious figure. A simple example would be, “I, (Groom), promise to love and cherish you, (Bride), for as long as we both shall live.”
Non-traditional vows. Non-traditional vows are promises to each partner that allow each of you to take a creative turn with your words. An example of a non-traditional vow would be, "I, (Groom), take you (Bride )
To be my Best friend and
My True Love
I promise to Love, Honor, and Cherish You
Through all of our years
And Through All that Life May Bring"
Religious vows. Religious vows are traditional vows that refer to God or the presence of a religious figure while making your lifelong promise to your partner.

Think about your occasion, the audience, and the location when considering which type is right for you.
