Civil wedding vows in Cyprus
Wedding vows are slightly different depending on which area you marry & whether you have a civil wedding or religious one.
We have selected Vows for you to read from a Civil Wedding in Ayia Napa.
Marriage Officer:
'You .... & ..... know that by your simultaneous consent
which is given publicly of the persons now here,
accept each other as your lawful spouse
and with the confirmation of this fact by your signature
you contract a lawful marriage
for all the purposes of civil law.
You should further know that your marriage
cannot be dissolved during your lifetime,
except by a valid judgement of a court.
If either of you - before the death of the other - contracts a marriage while this one remains undissolved
you will thereby be guilty of bigamy & liable to the consequences provided by the law.'
Groom & Bride:
"I call upon all persons here present to
witness that I ... accept you ... as my lawful spouse,
to love & share with you from this day
moments of joy and sorrow, wealth & poverty, happiness & unhappiness throughout
our life until death do separate us."
Marriage Officer:
'On the basis of equality,
you should face together all the problems & all the difficulties of life.
Together you should shoulder the burdens of marriage
each one according to your capabilities.
You have both the right & obligation to take care of the
upbringing & education of your children so that they may become useful citizens &
free personalities.
Please exchange your rings.
You are joined together by your free consent in matrimony,
you owe each other love, fidelity & respect throughout your life.
This marriage constitutes a fulfillment of your life
and links your destinies on good & rainy days, in happiness & unhappiness,
in wealth & poverty, until death do separate you.
As from this moment I pronounce you man & wife.
You may kiss the bride!'
