Traditional Wedding Vows

There are a number of guidelines surrounding traditional Catholic wedding vows. The main ones being the three questions couples are expected to respond to before they can take their vows. These questions are as follows.

“Have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourself to each other in marriage?”

“Will you honor each other as man and wife for the rest of your lives?”

and, “Will you accept children loviningly from God, and bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?”

After responding positively to these questions, then the couple can take their vows.
