All About Wedding Vows

Wedding Vows are an intrinsic part of the Wedding or Civil Ceremony and these are spoken during the ceremony to signify the vows and promises that the couple take during their marriage.


Where Do You Start To Write Your Wedding Vows?

These days people like to create their own types of vows to make them more personal to themselves and their partner so where do you need to start when you decide to write your vows?


The Registrar or Religious Figure who you have chosen to marry you will be able to give you some guidance on this and are likely to give you these written vows so that you can choose between them, they may have some ideas for vows you could write or choose and they might have some guidelines on what they expect you to say or not to say.


As a starting point be aware that there are two elements to your vows, firstly what must be spoken legally and secondly what personal vows you will allowed to add.


Legal Wording For Vows


In England & Wales there is wording that must be spoken in order to create the legal binding wedding these are the “Legal Declarations” and “Contracting Words” and there are some choices between exactly what can be said, these words are fairly well known so should not come as a surprise to anyone.


At this point I would suggest you don’t get anxious about all this because the person marrying you will ask you to repeat the words so you won’t need to learn these off by heart on a day where you are likely to be super nervous!


Legal Declarations


There are three different types of Legal Declarations to choose from these are the Traditional, the Modern or the Simplified versions.


Traditional

“I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment why I (your name) may not be joined in matrimony to (your partner's full name)”


Modern

“I declare that I know of no legal reason why I (your name) may not be joined in marriage to (your partner's name)”


Simplified

“The Registrar asks: "Are you (your full name) free, lawfully, to marry (your partner's full name)" You reply "I am"

Contracting Words

Next comes the Contracting Words of the legal wording for the ceremony;

Traditional
“I call upon these persons, here present, to witness that I (your full name) do take thee (your partner's full name) to be my lawful wedded wife/husband”

Modern
“I (your full name), take you (your partner's full name) to be my wedded wife/husband”

Simplified
“I (your full name) take thee (your partner's full name) to be my wedded wife/husband”

Promises Vows Whilst Exchanging Rings

After the legal part of the Wedding Vows have been made the couple are then able to make promises to each other whilst also exchanging rings.

There may be some limitations on what can be said depending on the type of ceremony and the registrar or religious person taking the ceremony so it is best to check what would be allowed, there are some examples of the promises that could be said this being the most common ones;

“for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part”.

“I give you this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love for you.”

Here are some other examples of what could be said….

“I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage, and as a symbol of our love. I promise to care for you, to respect and cherish you, throughout our lives together”

“I promise that I will respect you as an individual, support you through difficult times, rejoice with you through happy times, be loyal to you always and, above all, love you as my wife/husband and friend”

“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and affection, wear it with happiness and pride – now and always”

Writing your Own Promises

If you cannot find anything that you would choose to say or you would your ceremony to be a bit more personalised you could try and put some words of your own together to show your partner how you feel, this could be by using quotes, lyrics from a favourite song, personal sayings between yourselves or something you write completely on your own.

People can choose to talk about their own experiences and life with their partner, about important life events and stories or things that have made them laugh.

Whatever you choose, make your words count and ensure they come from the heart!

At The Hungry Plaice we have recently introduced a new addition to our fleet Bessie a modern van specifically for certain corporate events which call for a modern van. This contemporary vehicle is equipped with a modern range fryer and will be able to cover long distances effortlessly, allowing us to continue to cater for clients even in far-flung locations! The decision to invest in this high-tech van was driven by the desire to preserve our beloved vintage vans, Betty and Beryl who aged 40 and 38 respectively need to do less travelling in order to keep them on the road for as long as we can. Betty and Beryl have been serving up delicious fish and chips for years, becoming icons of The Hungry Plaice's brand. They hold sentimental value that goes beyond their functionality as food trucks and customers had developed an emotional connection with these charming old-fashioned vehicles. Recognising this sentiment, we have decided it was time to protect Betty and Beryl from excessive wear and tear. By introducing the modern van for corporate events, The Hungry Plaice ensures that Betty and Beryl can get some well-deserved rest while still meeting the demands of commercial catering. The advanced features of the new van enhance efficiency making it easier for the business to accommodate large gatherings and operate in distant venues without straining their classic counterparts. Moreover, the modern van allows The Hungry Plaice to expand its reach into previously untapped markets. With its reliability over long distances, the company can now offer its renowned fish and chips experience at various events across different regions, attracting new customers who may have previously been out of range. Despite taking advantage of cutting-edge technology using this new vehicle, The Hungry Plaice remains committed to maintaining its traditional appeal. Betty and Beryl will continue delighting customers at weddings, private and some corporate events keeping alive the nostalgic charm that has become synonymous with The Hungry Plaice experience.  The decision to incorporate a modern van alongside Betty and Beryl represents a balanced approach between preserving tradition and embracing innovation. As we embark on this exciting chapter of expansion The Hungry Plaice remains dedicated to delivering excellence in our services.
