I promise to
Love Him
Have a good married life
Keep the house clean
To share my secrets
To share my money
To stay with him
Never be bossy
And to be truthful.

I promise to be faithful and not lead you into trouble …
I promise not to spend all your money.
The bride and groom and their parents
I promise to my parents, to my brothers and sisters and the rest of my family that I will be faithful to my husband and never make a slave out of him. We will stay together always and love for always. I promise to keep calm when I’m stressy and help him whenever he needs me.
I promise to be faithful …
I promise to try to keep all my promises
To look after you and the children if we have any
I promise not to take you for granted and
I promise to be gentle, not bossy.
During their RE lessons, Lower II studied Marriage. They thought about why people choose to get married and learnt what is involved in a wedding ceremony. Here is Hattie's account of the wedding day.
John and Catherine were the bride and groom. The wedding service went well; Catherine looked absolutely stunning! She was wearing a white dress and a long veil with a silver tiara on top. The bridesmaids looked lovely as well. Isabelle, the head bridesmaid was lucky enough to carry Catherine’s veil.
After the wedding had finished and the photographers had snapped a few photos, it was time for the reception.
It was a fantastic wedding and good luck to John and Catherine, probably still on their honeymoon in Barbados or Africa, something like that
