Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal Script

For Mr. & Mrs. Achap

Officiant Introduction

Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here today in the presence of God and this congregation to celebrate and

witness the renewal of marriage vows between Mr. and Mrs. Achap, who, many years ago, made a sacred covenant with one another.

Today, they come to reaffirm their love, renew their commitment, and give thanks for God’s faithfulness throughout their journey together.

Address to the Couple

Mr. and Mrs. Achap,
Marriage is a gift from God—a covenant of love, faithfulness, and unity. Over the past years, you have shared joys and challenges, laughter and tears, and through it all, God has sustained you.

Do you come here today willingly to renew the vows you made to one another many years ago?

Couple Responds:

We do.

I reaffirm my love for you,
and I promise to continue to be your faithful husband.

To love you,

in strength and in weakness,
for all the days of our lives.

With God’s help,
I will cherish you always.
