Weddings
have a great meaning to all of us whether we are in the audience experiencing
two people share their love or we are the bride and groom. Being
apart of that love even for an instant is important to us. The wedding
party is more involved in the wedding and thus they know the groom and
bride more intimately. Wedding vows are the part of the wedding where
we as the audience or wedding party are brought into the most romantic
part of the wedding.
You might say the wedding vows
are when the audience and couple feeling the most meaning or vulnerable.
Wedding vows often evoke the tears of the audience and bride. The
audience may recall their own vows during this time as a sort of second
pledge to their loved one. Romance is a word for wedding because
the couple shares their most intimate feelings in the most beautiful manner.
Today we are seeing traditional
wedding vows merge with the unique. The wedding couple may choose
to incorporate all or part of the long ago vows or create a new wedding
vow. Wedding vows may be poems, book excerpts, or your own words.
Your vows do not have to rhyme to be unique. They may simply be words
derived from your commonalities, your interests, or how you first met.
The traditional words “do you take this man/ woman to be your lawfully
wedded …” have evolved into the most poignant words of love. Your
wedding vows must come from the heart. The meaning of the traditional
vows may hold the most important aspect of you. Be true to you and
your partner’s personality, to what brought you together. Your wedding
and your vows are yours alone to keep for the rest of your life. |
