Wedding Vows

Posted on December 18, 2007 in the General Wedding Plans category

I received a letter from Basford Registrars asking me and Dave which wedding vows we would like to say for our Civil Ceremony. I didn’t know you get a choice of 3.

The first part of the the ceremony is the declaration, we have a choice from these 3;

1, I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment why I…………., may not be joined in matrimony to……………..

2, I declare that I know of no legal reason why I……………. may not be joined in matrimony to…………

3, I am (in reply to the question “Are you……………free lawfully to marry……………

The second part is the contract.

A, I call upon these persons here present to witness that I……………do take thee…………….. to be my lawful wedded wife/husband

B, I……………..take you…………….to be my wedded wife/husband

C, I……………..take thee…………….to be my wedded wife/husband

Me and Dave have chosen 1 and A for our choice of the wedding vows as we both feel that it sounds more traditional. We will also add our own vows after these wedding vows. I have already written my own vows but I don’t think I can memorize it to say in front of all our guests so I may have to write it down on a card. I kinda think that it may look abit weird as instead of looking at my future husband whilst saying it, I will instead be looking at a piece of card. LOL.
