By definition, wedding vows are exactly what they sound like: a solemn vow and agreement between two people on the day they become legally wed. Depending on where you’re located in the country and if you are saying "I do" in a church, there may be some regulations to follow. As ordained officiant who's been performing wedding ceremonies for over a decade, explains, some states have specific requirements written into their family laws of what a couple must say during a legally binding wedding ceremony. And some religious denominations have guidance around what you can — and cannot! — say while inside the sanctuary of their church. Apart from these potential restrictions, one can say what you say is up to you and your spouse-to-be. “Your vows and promises that you want to make to each other in those moments — be it in front of your community in a wedding or just to each other in an elopement — are for you,” she or he shares. “Vows can also include words of endearment. But many just focus on the promises themselves as vows.”
