What Is a Wedding Vows?
Wedding vows are the promises exchanged between partners during the wedding ceremony — the verbal and spiritual heart of the marriage. Traditional religious vows follow prescribed scripts from the relevant faith tradition (Christian 'to have and to hold,' Jewish ketubah-based vows, etc.). Personal vows are written by the couple themselves and have become increasingly popular for their emotional resonance and personalization. A typical vow is 1–3 minutes long when spoken aloud. Many couples share a private first reading of each other's vows together before the ceremony so neither partner is surprised in front of a crowd.
