Wedding Ceremony Vows
There are many different versions of standard Christian wedding ceremony vows, depending on your church denomination.
I was raised Nazarene so that denomination's vows sound best to me. I now attend a Southern Baptist Church. Their wording is slightly different than that of the vows from the Nazarene manual.I have been to weddings in other church denominations and each one puts their own spin on what a husband and wife promise each other on their wedding day.
The Catholic wording is slightly different than the Methodist wording. The Presbyterian wording is slightly different than the Pentecostal wording of the marriage vows.
Discuss the specific wording that you want in your ceremony with your officiant. Most major denominations have a church manual with their own vows.
If your officiant is a minister, he will most likely want to use the official vows of his religion. Some ministers are open to using different wording than their church's own wedding vows. Other ministers are not.
If you would like to review denominational wedding vows that are used by different churches, they are available online. Just search for "wedding vows _____________(insert denomination, such as Baptist, Catholic, etc.)
