Are there certain things we are not allowed say within our personal vows?

Posted on 27 February 2015 by Patrick Jones

Yes. We ask that you make no religious references or use any of the following as they are from the Book Of Common Prayer:

  • to have and to hold
  • from this day forward
  • for better, for worse
  • for richer, for poorer
  • in sickness and in health
  • to love and to cherish
  • till death us do part
  • according to God’s holy law
  • in the presence of God I make this vow

Please choose alternative wording, should you opt for personal vows to each other.
