Marriage vows are the promises exchanged between partners during a wedding ceremony, a practice rooted in Western Christian tradition. They are not a universal feature of marriage and are not required in most legal jurisdictions, and even within Christianity they are not universal, since Eastern Christian wedding rites traditionally do not include spoken vows.
