The celebrant invites the married couples to stand and renew before God their sacred matrimonial commitment to each other.

Celebrant:

Dear Friends, on your wedding day, you stood before the Church's minister and the community, and solemnly vowed your love. On this Marriage Sunday, you stand before the community of faith as a reminder of the great beauty of the Sacrament/Covenant of Matrimony.

You stand before your children who reflect the life and love you have given to them through your marriage.

You stand before those who are living the single vocation in the Church. Your marriage vows complement their lives of commitment and service to the Lord's call.

You stand before widows and widowers who recall the love and commitment given to their spouse.

You stand before us as witnesses to the married love which Christ abundantly blessed on your wedding day. I invite you now to renew the promises you made in mutual and lasting fidelity.

Couples repeat after the celebrant:

Husbands:

I have taken you and take you again ________, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in the good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life.

Wives:

I have taken you and take you again ________, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in the good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life.
