This is a wedding sermon not vows
Name: Rev Terri Cooper MA MFT2005-08-22
These aren't wedding vows. These words are a sermon
on marriage. Wedding vows are what the couple pledge to one another with regard to the qualities of spirit, heart, mind and action that they will bring to
their marriage to breath life and passion and contentment into it for all the days of their lives.

Knowing that the Newman's have been married for 50 years only makes their vows more beautiful and meaningful. They captured what it takes to live a life time together,growing in love and respect.

Paul kept his vows to Joanne right to the end. God Bless him and may he rest in peace. May Joanne find comfort in the love that Paul gave her throughout his life. They were a great couple and an example of how marriage really should be.
Vow Renewal

This was the perfect piece to read to my husband of 15 years at the top of the Tiger's Nest monastary in Bhutan on our 15th wedding anniversary. As true today as it was 50 years ago for Paul and Joanne.

Dear Mrs. Newman,
These vows are so beautiful and are timeless, from 1958 to 2009. I plan to live by these words in your vows each day of my married life with my partner, Bill.
Thank you again for sharing with the world the precious vows you and Paul shared together.

God's blessing be with you,

Susan Mason
The future Mrs. William L. French Jr.

We are getting married later this month and are using this excerpt from the Newman's ceremony before we recite our vows.
These words are a true testiment to how we want our marriage to be.

Beautiful Vows
Name: Pam Turley2010-09-23
I am getting married Oct.16th 2010 and found these words to be so meaningful and beautiful. This is my 2nd marriage and plan to have these vows framed to be a beautiful daily reminder of my love and committment to my husband. Thank you for sharing.
35th Anniversary
Name: Donna Taylor2010-11-22
We are approaching our 35th anniversary & plan to acknowledge Paul & JoAnne's summary of how to create a marriage by reading the prelude to their vows. They covered all that is essential & then some in a beautiful way. I love the line about 'sense of humor'.
That has worked for us & must have really worked for them because I read a quote from her much later that went like this:"Sexiness wears thin after awhile & beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh everyday, ah, now that's a real treat." How very true.
We used these
Name: Deborah Barletta2011-01-19
