Since you may have decided to have a vow renewal for a variety of reasons, there are a wide variety of things you might want to say to your spouse. Many couples write their own vows, emphasizing the reasons that they would say “I do” all over again. Remember, the wording of your vows can be sweet, sentimental, serious, and even humorous in spots.

Below are sample vows that you can use for your wedding vow renewal ceremony. Please feel free to personalize these vows and use them word for word or select the lines that you like and create original vows for your ceremony. To make them yours, simply replace the X with the number of years you’ve been married, replace the (name) with your spouse’s name and select from either of the two words if you encounter a pair separated with a “/.”
