Wedding Vows for the longest time were traditional, provided by the church.  Today we are using our partners and our personalities to find the unique vows to profess our love.  Whether you wish to use traditional wedding vows or write your own remember to keep the meaning alive.  Wedding vows encompass our love for one another and make promises till death do us part.  Wedding vows are an integral part of the wedding.  It is important to choose the type of wedding vows that will share your feelings with your partner and audience.  

Wedding vows have moved from the traditional to the humorous, or to the unique.  If you find you’re a traditionalist there is nothing wrong with that.  Below are some examples of traditional wedding vows.  Whether you decide to go with your churches traditions or an adaptation of a traditional vow there are plenty to choose from.  Most often traditional wedding vows include the ring.  These are known as Wedding ring vows.

Below are few examples of wedding ring vows with a traditional bent.

Example 1 Secular/Non Denominational Vows for the Ring Exchange: 
“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day. This ring is a token of my love. I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am

Response:
I will forever wear this ring as a sign of my commitment and the desire of my heart
I give you this ring to wear with love and joy, as a ring has no end, neither shall my love for you. I choose you to be my (wife / husband) this day and forevermore.

This ring I give to you as a token of my love and devotion to you. I pledge to you all that I am and all that I will ever be as your (husband/wife). With this ring, I gladly marry you and join my life to yours.
I give this ring as my gift to you. Wear it and think of me and know that I love you."
I give you this ring in God's name, as a symbol of all that we have promised and all that we shall share.
I give you this ring as a visible and constant symbol of my promise to be with you as long as I live.
I give you this ring as a symbol of my love for you. Let it be a reminder that I am always by your side and that I will always be a faithful partner to you.” 

Example 1 goes on for a little while longer with the person sharing his or her feelings on what a ring means to him or her.  Rings are not always as common in weddings as they once were, but many still choose to share their vows over the exchanging of rings.

Example 2 Protestant Wedding Ring Vow:
I give you this ring as a symbol of my love; and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
