Non-traditional vows Many couples aren’t so sure that they want to stick with traditional wedding vows, yet aren’t ready to write their own. Here are samples of non-traditional wedding vows that might be perfect (or adapted) for your ceremony:

I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.

The Man or Woman you will Become: Nº 6

I, (Name), take you, (Name), to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know.

When Our Love is Simple, and when it is an Effort: Nº 7
