My standard vow renewal ceremony scripts are thoughtfully crafted to honor the enduring love and commitment couples have built over time, with options for Christian, Handfasting, and Secular ceremonies. Each script reflects the essence of your shared journey—whether rooted in faith, enriched by meaningful traditions, or centered around personal vows and heartfelt promises that celebrate the life you've created together. Designed with flexibility in mind, these scripts can be personalized to create a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and true to your story, ensuring your vow renewal is as memorable and special as the love you continue to share.
Christian Vow Renewal
INVOCATION / SERVICE OF WORSHIP
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the presence of God, family, and friends to celebrate a sacred occasion—the vow renewal of [Partner A] and [Partner B]. This ceremony is a joyful testament to the enduring love and faith that have guided them through the years of their marriage.
Marriage is a covenant, a sanctuary built on the foundation of love, trust, and God’s grace. It is not entered into lightly, and today, as [Partner A] and [Partner B] stand before us, they reaffirm the sacred promises they made, giving thanks for the blessings of their shared journey.
Let us pray:Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of love and the sacred bond of marriage. Bless [Partner A] and [Partner B] as they renew their vows, and continue to guide them with Your light, grace, and unwavering presence. Amen.
SCRIPTURE READING1
Corinthians 13:4-7“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
This passage reflects the spirit of love that [Partner A] and [Partner B] carry in their hearts—the promise to love one another as Christ loves us: fully, honestly, and unconditionally.
DECLARATION OF INTENT[

Officiant to [Partner A]:Have you come here freely and with a heart full of love to renew your vows to [Partner B]?Do you promise to continue loving, honoring, and cherishing them, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?[Partner A]: I do.
