Getting married in the Roman Catholic Church is reasonably straightforward, but it does sometimes raise a few questions. To help you out, the most commonly asked questions and their answers are outlined below.
What vows are used in a Roman Catholic Wedding?
The vows are as follows:
"I, <Groom’s name>, take you, <Bride’s name>, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life."
"I, <Bride’s name>, take you,<Groom’s name>, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life."
OR
"<Groom’s name>, do you take <Bride’s name> to be your husband? Do you promise to be true to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and honour him all the days of your life?"
The Groom responds ‘I do’.
"<Bride’s name>, do you take <Groom’s name> to be your husband? Do you promise to be true to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and honour him all the days of your life?"
The Bride responds ‘I do’.
The priest will then say aloud ‘You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God has joined, men must not divide. Amen.’
