Exchange Ring Vows Novels & Stories

Tears filled Elena’s eyes as she spoke her own vows. “Ren,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “You’ve shown me a world I never knew existed, and in that world, I found a home in you. I promise to support you, to honor you, and to love you with all that I am, through every trial and triumph we face together.” The elder handed Ren a golden ring etched with the symbols of their pack, and Ren slid it onto Elena’s finger. Elena did the same with his ring, their bond solidified in the exchange.

You've opened your hearts to one another, acknowledged your love for one another, and pledged your allegiance to one another by exchanging rings. As a result, it is my joy to now pronounce you husband and wife, with God's blessings. You may now kiss the bride."

I will be faithful, love you, and honor you all through my life." In our pack's tradition, Roxanne and I exchanged our rings as we stated our vows as one.

"I vow to love you. To honor you. To cherish you. In sickness and in health. In joy and in sorrow. For richer or poorer. As long as we both shall live." Lies. All lies. But beautiful lies. Acceptable lies. The lies everyone expected. "I vow to protect you. To provide for you. To be your partner. Your equal. Your everything. From this day forward. You are mine. And I am yours. Forever." His eyes intense. Possessive. Certain. Like he believed it. Like it was true. "I give you this ring. As a symbol of my vow. Of my commitment. Of my eternal love." He slipped the ring on her finger. Heavy. Gold. Binding. Trapping.

My cheeks heated with the way they trailed leisurely over my face, taking me in. His eyes swept down to the single piece of jewelry hanging on my neck

"With this hand, I will multiply your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your lethal wine. Her heart thudded, How strange and scary, Did he just say the wrong vow? And are the people here deaf not to hear the wicked vows? "With this candle, I will dim your way in the light" He added as he impassively blew off the candle flame, It was the opposite vow. How could a groom vow to dim his bride's way to light and the whole assemblage silent like it's the most normal thing on earth? "With this ring, I bind you to eternal doom" he added and propelled her finger into the silver wedding ring violently.

"Zack, do you take Irryn to be your lawful wife, to share your love and lifetime with her?" Zack looked at me and smiled. "I do. I do and I'll always take Irryn as my wife." "Irryn, do you take Zack to be your lawful husband, to share your love and lifetime with him? "I do." The two rings were placed on cushion.
