Christian Readings and Scriptures for Your Wedding Ceremony with PDF's

​As a Professional Wedding Officiant I often marry couples that don’t want to get married in a church but they still want to keep some of the traditions they grew up with in their wedding ceremony.  The vows, especially Catholic vows, are a very popular way to do this.  Family and friends that grew up Catholic are used to hearing the back and forth of a church service and it fits very well in a more modern ceremony we write and perform.  I’ve also included the standard wedding vows from may religious faiths in this post. 

While it’s less often a couple hires me to perform a traditional religious wedding, I’m always happy to fill in when a couple’s own pastor or minister is unable to perform their wedding ceremony. I perform a lot of interfaith ceremonies and some more romantic ceremonies with a spiritual undertone.  This collection of wedding vows are a good source of ideas for a God-Centered wedding ceremony.
