Marriage vows
After repeating the wedding vows, the celebrant traditionally says to the
groom, "You may now kiss the bride."
Marriage vows are promises a couple makes to each other during a wedding
ceremony. In Western culture, these promises have traditionally included the
notions of affection ("love, comfort, keep"), faithfulness ("forsaking all
others"), unconditionality ("for richer or for poorer", "in sickness and in
health"), and permanence ("as long as we both shall live", "until death do
us part"). Most wedding vows are taken from traditional religious
ceremonies. Touching love poems or lyrics from a love song can be revised as
wedding vows. Some couples choose to write their own vows, rather than
relying on standard ones spoken by the celebrant (priest).
