Hi All

Does anyone know what the vow's are for a Scottish civil ceremony??? I looked on the net but could only find vow's for an English civil one which pointed out that up here the vow's are a bit different.. I can't find anything online which lists the vow's and would appreciate any help

Try your local government website www.XXXXXX.gov.uk, they ofetn put the vows on their websites now...

Thanks anyway

Sorry Wendy, can't help as I'm being married by a minister - maybe you could phone the registry office and ask them to post them out to you??? (or if I get time I'll listen to my mum's wedding video and write them down!)

Are you having your wedding in a church or registry office, if it's a church PM me and I'll let you know what they are.

Love
Michelle

Bóid pòsaidh anns a' Ghàidhlig
Marriage vows in Scots Gaelic (with English translation)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am fear (groom)
Tha mise <ainm> a-nis 'gad ghabhail-sa <ainm> gu bhith 'nam chéile phòsda. Ann am fianais Dhé 's na tha seo de fhianaisean tha mise a' gealltainn a bhith 'nam fhear pòsda dìleas gràdhach agus tairis dhuitsa, cho fad's a bhios an dìthis againn beò.

I, <name> now take you <name> to be my wife. In the presence of God and before these witnesses I promise to be a loving, faithful and loyal husband to you, for as long as we both shall live.

Suidheachadh nas sine (older form)

... to you, until God shall separate us by death

Is this any good?

Thanks for the replies.
Dawn I found them but they are for a church wedding, thank you anyway.

I will just wait till it's time to see the registrar and get a copy from them.

Wendy.
