Irish Wedding Vows

Wedding vows are very common at weddings. This tradition has been practiced for several centuries. The bride and groom promise each other fidelity, care, support, love and independence for the rest of their lives

One of the most common vows in Irish, Welsh and Scottish ceremonies are Celtic vows, which are more representative of their heritage. Also, it can be chosen if the bride and groom are looking for the romantic poetry that the Celtic tradition offers.

The exchange of the Irish wedding vows changes a little, because the couples recite a part in their dialect, generally, they start speaking English so that those who do not understand or do not speak Irish, understand what each one is saying to the other. Another thing that should be mentioned is that Catholicism is the religion, therefore, the only thing that is different in their ceremony, if chosen, are the Celtic vows, which are more representative of their culture.

1. Traditional Irish wedding vows

Most couples prefer to have a traditional church wedding, so most Irish wedding vows are written and said in the style of a Roman Catholic ceremony.

2. Celtic wedding vows

By choosing this culturally traditional style, the length of the wedding vows is may, as these are characterized by their poetic writing. The bride and groom can choose which style of vows they will make, or even both, in order to maintain the religious customs and customs of their culture.

3. Irish wedding blessings

In this case there can be two styles, the priest’s which is much shorter and simplified, but also, you can do it the Celtic way which is much more extensive. In both, the blessing for the bride and groom is care, health, prosperity, loyalty, honesty, respect and that the Lord will take care of them and give them the tools to stay together until death do them part.

4. Marriage vows in Irish

The vows do not change much, just the number of words in each sentence changes, however, the meaning of the Catholic vows and the Irish vows remains the same. Another big difference, apart from their length, are the words, they say “literally” every single thing that the bride and groom are promising each other.
