catholic wedding vows

We went to our wedding rehearsal last night and my partner found repeating back the vows difficult as he was nervous, so i've been looking for them on the net so he can practise them and feel more confident on the day but cant seem to find them. We are getting married in a RC church and so they are the traditional vows.
Thanks

Try the book of common prayer.

Or...

There are three choices concerning how to present the Catholic traditional wedding vows. In the most traditional form, the priest asks questions of the bride and groom individually, to which they answer "I do". He could also say the lines and have the couple repeat, or the couple could say the lines themselves, either from memory or reading from a book. Below are a few examples.

Priest: "Do you take ___ as your lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

Bride/Groom: "I do" Bride/Groom: "I take this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit." "

Or:

Priest: "___, will you take ___ here present, for your lawful wedded wife/husband according to the rite of our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church?" ("I will")

Bride/Groom Repeat: "I, ___ take you, ___ for my wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." Bride/Groom: "With this ring I thee wed, and pledge thee my troth?"

Your best option, however, if your groom wants a copy is to ask the Priest at the church for the vows you will be using. Not sure it'll make much odds though...he's going to be nervous anyway!

"I, _______, take you, ________, for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part."

I am adding this in a research paper and need information for my bibliography. So I need a book title, the page number where this is found and the author.

• Marriage Vows •

I (...), take you (...) to be my husband/wife.
I promise to be true to you
in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and honor you
all the days of my life.

Or

I (...), take you (...) for my lawful husband/wife,
to have and to hold,
from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
until death do us part.

Or

In the name of God,
I (...) take you (...) to be my husband/wife,
to have and to hold
from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
until we are parted by death.
This is my solemn vow.

Notice there is nothing about 'obeying.'

• Exchange of Rings •

(...), take this ring
as a sign of my love and fidelity.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.

The current book is the English translation of "Rite of Marriage," copyright © 1969 by the International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc. http://www.catholicweddinghelp.com/topic s/text-rite-of-marriage-mass.htm

This is an English translation of the Latin original. I would think that the name of the original author of the vows has been lost in antiquity.

This article about the History of Marriage is good and has a lot of references: http://ldysinger.stjohnsem.edu/THM_544_M arriage/05_Hist_Devt/00a_start.htm

With love in Christ.

i'm catholic, and the person i'm planning to marry is not. he's said he'll convert if i want him to but i don't want him to do it just so we can have a specific wedding. i'm still planning on having the ceremony physically in a catholic church, but will we be able to use the catholic vows?

Yes.

The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics. Your fiance does not have to convert.

The interfaith couple will have to get permission from the bishop

Anyone married in the Catholic Church has to:
+ Take a pre-marriage course
+ Promise to baptize and educate their children in the Catholic Church.

Here is a good article with suggestions on how to help an interchurch marriage succeed: http://www.americancatholic.org/Newslett ers/CU/ac0690.asp

my moms boyfriend claims that some were in the bible the wedding vows states that the wife/husband shall take no one above their partner...not even their kids. is this true?

dunno, but you probably should put your spouse above your children. i mean kids grow up and leave you, then all you have left is your spouse...
