Vow Renewal

Renewal of wedding vows is a renewal of the promises made on your wedding day. After spending time together in the marriage, faced ups and downs, changes, excitements and even disappointments, you might want to do it all again but with a renewed understanding this time.
Vow renewals have had some of the best wedding vows we’ve ever heard. And this is because before writing your vows this second time around, its good to take some time for reflection. Reflect on the years which have passed, the goods and the bads and all that your partner has come to mean to you. Write all of this down, and you will find that you have material for some deep and thoughtful, full of emotion renewal vows. Below are a few examples.
With great joy, I pledged my love and commitment to you on our wedding day. But a loving relationship does not exist in a vacuum. Our family and friends first showed us how to love, helped us grow, and supported us when we found each other. I hope they will continue to love and support us as we love and support them. Therefore, I am delighted today, in the presence of these witnesses, to reaffirm my commitment to you, and once again, to promise to love you, honor you, and comfort you, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better and for worse, as long as we both shall live.

On our wedding day, I made a choice. It was the most important and significant choice of my life and I made it only after a great deal of consideration. On that day, I chose you to be my husband/wife. I thought then that such a decision, once made, as final and irrevocable. Now I know that the selection of a life partner is not a one-time decision but an ongoing process.
Many times in the years since then, I have chosen you again. Faced with changes and alternatives, I have become keenly aware that a marriage lasts only so long as both partners desire each other above all others. As our lives have been affected by the ebb and flow of other lives and events, there have been many times when I could have chosen to go in a different direction. I did not.
The reason is simple: no other person has ever aroused in me the feelings of tenderness, joy, and caring which you elicit. I elect to stay with you not because I feel obligated to meet your needs but because you continue to meet mine. I live with you not because a legal document says that I am your wife/husband but because, in my heart of hearts, I still want to be by your side more than I want to be anywhere else.

Choosing to embellish or write your ring exchange wording from scratch is choosing to put a piece of you into the words.

Including these extra phrases in your wedding ceremony order of events shouldn’t pose a problem.
The ring symbioses these things and more; therefore we hope that we have been able to help you with ideas for writing your very own ring exchange wording.
