What are the types of vows at a wedding?
The newlyweds' vows, which they exchange at the wedding, are conventionally divided into several types. Solemn vows are given during the wedding in the registry office, religious vows are taken in the church in front of the priest. Standard assurances are exchanged in a classical ceremony. And during the banquet, funny sayings will create a joyful mood.
The vow can be written in both prose and poetry. Rhyming lines will impress guests, and the text will be easier to remember. Promises are also made in song form, if vocal abilities allow.
Both the solemn and comic text consists of 3 parts. First comes a declaration of love and a statement of desire to enter into legal marriage. Then - a description of feelings for your partner. And finally, commitments are made to your life partner. These include standard assurances to be together through thick and thin, and comic promises to allow the husband to watch football with friends or to let his wife go shopping with her friends.
Even the funny wedding vows of the bride and groom speak of mutual love and the desire to create a family home. The distribution of responsibilities for taking out the trash or washing the dishes, expressed in a funny way, indicates the intention of the young people to walk the path of life together.
Extraordinary promises of the groom
Let’s not forget that a ransom event carried out with humor presupposes a similar conclusion. Therefore, cool promises from the groom to the bride and those closest to her in front of everyone present would be appropriate. At modern weddings, young people are increasingly including in the solemn wedding ceremony vows to each other of love and fidelity, the desire to save the family, to go through life together, sharing joys and hardships in half, which is pronounced immediately after the painting. Such promises are played out solemnly and without jokes. But the ransom oath can easily be played out with humor and gags , although you should not include elements of vulgarity in it.
It is worth considering that this is not a youth party, but an event where completely different generations are present, people of advanced age and a different cultural upbringing
The groom's comic oath at the ransom can be planned in advance, or, alternatively, the newlywed can spontaneously include it in the final ransom scene, surprising even the organizers of the holiday. The texts of the oath can be completely different. Poems, of course, are fun, especially if they are composed personally , even if not very talented, but from the heart. Even better - in the form of a song, but prose will be appreciated no less. You can use poetic lines about love from famous classical poets, but it is advisable to add some humorous phrases from yourself.
Tips for newlyweds on writing their vows
Saying the vows is an important part of the ceremony. Preparations begin long before the banquet. The text of a funny wedding vow is written in advance and beautifully designed. This approach is convenient, since newlyweds can get confused and forget the words out of excitement. Promises written on paper can be solemnly read out to guests, and the document can be kept as a souvenir of one of the happiest moments of life.
When writing a text, the bride is advised to remember how she met her loved one, about emotions during the first dates, and think about what has changed in life after the appearance of the groom.
The future spouse is advised to list the qualities of the girl he loves, but not to compare the bride with other women. Words must be sincere and understandable.
The newlyweds make promises taking into account the characteristics and comments of the other half. You can write the vow yourself, use a traditional wedding script, or add your own wishes to the finished version.
The text should be as short as possible - too verbose promises will tire guests and distract attention from the meaning of what was said.
Traditional vows of the bride and groom
A traditional vow is suitable for a classic wedding ceremony. The text is laconic, restrained, but romantic. Mutual promises to love each other compare favorably with a dry “yes” uttered in the registry office.
The vow can be structured in the form of a dialogue. First, the newlyweds say the words in turn, and pronounce the final phrase together.
Touching words would not be entirely appropriate at an official event at the Wedding Palace. It looks more harmonious when the newlyweds perform the first dance of the bride and groom, after the ceremony of lighting the fireplace or before cutting the wedding cake.
Groom's words
The bride's friends can add an interesting task to the ransom itself. The last stage can be a wonderful oath that the young man pronounces. The only condition is to make a speech near the bride's door. A girl must hear everything her lover says. Otherwise, the oath completely loses its meaning.
When redeeming, you should not talk for too long, since this is the part of the event that is characterized by the dynamic course of the event. Therefore, it will be enough to limit yourself to a few sentences that will briefly and succinctly contain the whole meaning.
However, speech should not be dry; color it with epithets, metaphors and other figurative and expressive means of language.
- I swear I will always love my wife. And (if necessary) carried in your arms. I will be a reliable and strong shoulder, I will become a good girl for her. I will be a strong, brave, diligent husband. And then she will say that she doesn’t need another.
- I will always be a faithful spouse, And in general, it doesn’t matter where. I will become the best husband, Both on land and on water. I will quickly solve my wife’s problems so that she can multiply them all.
- I swear I will become the most reliable husband, I will always cherish my wife. She will be more than a friend to me. Will forever keep my peace.
