Love, and do what you will.

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

“Following the words of Saint Augustine, I promise to love you first, and let that love guide all that I do. I take you as my spouse, promising to be faithful and true, to honor your soul, and to seek God's will for our marriage every day of our lives. ”

Editor's Insight

This vow is profoundly powerful, anchoring a marriage in divine love and a foundational commitment that transcends the everyday. Its strength lies in embracing Saint Augustine's wisdom, declaring a love so central it becomes the guiding principle for all actions. This makes it ideally suited for devout Catholic couples who deeply value their shared faith, approaching marriage as a sacred covenant centered on God's will and spiritual growth. For delivery, allow a brief, intentional pause after "guide all that I do," letting the gravitas of that Augustinian promise resonate fully before moving into the sacred details of your lifelong pledge.
