The wearing of the marriage bands.

Apart from it being a wedding ceremony, it was a day of Veneration to Our Creator who made it possible for us to come together in marriage.
The day we exchanged Vows was one of the most wonderful days of my life.
I got married to my boyfriend of 9 years, Vincent Anthony, one fine Wednesday. It was January 3rd to be exact. And I can still remember the vows we made to each other on that very special day. And the fact that I was teary-eyed as I said them.
Apart from it being a wedding ceremony, it was a day of Veneration to Our Creator who made it possible for us to come together in marriage.
Here's how it went:
Me: VINCENT, I give you my love, my life and my whole person. Today, I accept you as my lawful husband according to the rite of the Holy Catholic Church. I thank God for this precious gift which He has given me for many years. I promise to take you for who and what you are, to share with you whatever life will bring us, to share my whole self and life with you in times of sadness, through sacrifices as well as in times of joy. I will strengthen, support, comfort and encourage you. I have loved you and will always love you throughout our life together. The road ahead may offer joy and pain but know that I will stay with you as your loving and faithful wife.
Vincent: ANA K, I give you my love , my life and my whole person. Today, I accept you as my lawful wife according to the rite of the Holy Catholic Church. With deepest joy, I take you into my life with unselfish devotion. I promise to direct our lives to the path of faith and hope in Christ. I love you, ANA K, and throughout life, no matter what it brings us, I will remain your loving and faithful husband.
How about you, my married readers? Can you still remember your vows?
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Oh, this is so touching! We didn’t have personal vows, but the Jewish ceremony (in Israel at least) is simpler.
Thanks for your visit to Jerusalem Hills. Shalom!
Sweet post and a great V, certainly a very important one.
Beautiful - both words and pictures. It certainly looks like a very special day indeed!
No. I’m afraid I don’t remember our vows, but it was 32 years ago! Must be doing something right!
A highly appropriate V!
This is so beautiful. I can remember my weddingday as if it happened yesterday (see my entry for Monday 15th December). We had no vows in our protestant church, but we chose our favourite hymns. And when my husband died I chose the hymns again for him.
Really is such a personal and touching post.
Lovely photos and vows. My husband and I said our vows almost 15 years ago. I’d have to consult the video tape to remember them. That might be a fun excuse to pull the video out. :)
Sweet. TY for stopping by my blog.
We went to the Justice of the Peace just a year and a half ago. I remember every word. It was one of the best days of my life! This post was my most favorite ABC Wednesday post!
A V trifecta! :) Very good. Vows are certainly very important.
very nice, thanks for sharing
Wow, lovely photos and I love the theme that you have chosen! Your vows are very beautiful too.
Thanks for visiting Subang Jaya Daily and leaving your comment. Wish you a lovely day ahead.
What a wonderful post for V! The photos are great. Blessings on your marriage :0)
Perfect! What a wonderful choice for V.
Thank you - ABC Team.
Very good! And yes, I do remember my vows, nearly 25 years on :)
