Sample Vows for Your Celebration
I would like to share with you a set of vows that I offer to my brides and grooms for the Weddings I perform in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. This is simply one set. Once we have a chance to get acquainted, I will certainly be inspired by your uniqueness and be able to develop a more tailored set of vows for your ceremony if you would like.
Do you [Groom], now choose [Bride], to be your wife, to share your life openly with her, to speak truthfully and lovingly to her, to accept her fully as she is and delight in who she is becoming, to respect her uniqueness, encourage her fulfillment, and compassionately support her through all the changes of your years together?
“ I Do.”

“ I Do.”
[Groom], will you have this woman to be your wife to live together in marriage? Will you love her and give her your respect? Will you comfort, honor and keep her in sickness and health, in joy and in sorrow, so long as love and life shall endure?
