These are NOT the traditional Jewish wedding vows. This is some sort of modern, do it yourself version. It's nice, but not traditional.

Dear Free Man.. You obviously haven't had "any" for a while. You must be sad and lonely enough to be sitting on this website criticising the vows and the people searching for them. I have a few words for you.. Get a life.. Get a job... Get a gilfriend..Get LAID!!! ha x

Not really

I( agree with Devorah. These are NOT the traditional Jewish wedding vows I repeated at my wedding 20 years ago. Even as a Shiksa I know that! Does this mean that all the vows from the other religions are just as bogus????

Vows do not make a marriage

Justin-

You probably won't read this, but for those who come after you please hear this: The type of vows you speak at your wedding ceremony do not ensure that your marriage will work out. You don't need to find the perfect set of vows to "make" your marriage work. If you don't know this already, marriage is HARD. Yes, right now you may feel that you would never find something to dislike about your spouse or future spouse. After time you will have to work to keep the marriage together and LIVE the vows you spoke.
It will take a lot of effort, and you should probably get counseling. (BTW going to counseling isn't a sign of a bad relationship, it's a sign that you want the relationship to be the best it can be!)

Be Thou Consecrated

The correct form is "Be thou consecrated unto me in accordance with the laws of Moses and Israel." Traditionally this is said only by the groom and the bride accepts. Today this is often a mutual declaration. For an extended explanation of Jewish law on marriage, see Maurice Lamm's "The Jewish Way in Love and Marriage."
