In the grace of this covenant, I give myself to you.

This catholic wedding vow is a heartfelt way to express your commitment.

In the grace of this covenant, I give myself to you. I promise fidelity in heart, patience in trial, and reverence for the sacrament we enter today. I will pray for you, seek forgiveness with humility, and walk beside you toward God's mercy for all the days of our married life.

Editor's Insight

Catholic couples should confirm all vow wording with their priest, because the official Rite of Marriage often uses required forms. This text is best suited for a private vow, reception letter, rehearsal dinner reading, or personal reflection alongside the approved ceremony. Its strength is reverence without overstatement: fidelity, patience, prayer, forgiveness, and mercy. The speaker should keep the tone quiet and prayerful, especially if the words are shared in a church setting.
