Community Vow of Support














Many couples are looking for interesting and meaningful ways to draw guests into the ceremony. An easy and effective element to meet this desire is a "Community Vow of Support." This element generally follows the exchange of vows between the bride and grooms and the exchange of rings. It is a short statement, read by the Celebrant, in which family and friends agree to support the new marriage. Consider this example:

"Now, that you, beloved friends and family of the couple (names), have heard them recite their vows, do you promise, from this day forward, to encourage them and love them, to give them your guidance, and to support them in being steadfast in the promises that they have made?"

Guests: We Do!
