Wedding Vows Renewal Ceremony

The vows renewal ceremony is a powerful way to express love and commitment to one another. A vow to commit to a lifelong journey and adventure together. These vows will remind you of the importance of faith and love in marriage and will provide strength and comfort throughout your life. When the spouses face each other to renew their vows, this is the all-important moment of the ceremony.

Although every element of a wedding is important, this is the focus of the ceremony. During the ceremony, the couple publicly promise each other to do whatever they can to help each other and grow, against all odds. It's a sacred vow.

Marriage Vows - Family - Fidelity - Love - Respect

We have confided in each other and we want to live together. We interact with our idiosyncrasies and talents, with what is said and what remains unspoken. It's not always easy when one day is like the other, when understanding becomes difficult and joy rare. But, Heavenly Father, let us hope for new beginnings, for insights that carry on. Give each of us patience to wait for one another and strength to endure what makes life difficult.

Let us trust in words that clear up misunderstandings and bring together, that ask and grant forgiveness. God, let us trust in affection that renews and live on hope that looks forward to tomorrow. What we hope and expect is more than humans accomplish. Be the good companion at all times and let what we start today succeed.
