Non-Denominational Wedding Vows & Common Vows
Non-Denominational Wedding wedding vows do not hold to any one particular religious affiliation. They may be a combination of several faiths or not affliliated with any faith. It is also possible that they are just a commitement to each other.
The last example is generally called a "common law marriage". That is the name given by the state for a couple who has been living together - generally for seven years. After that time, the state recognizes them as a husband and wife and they are afforded all the the benefits of marriage partners.
Another example of non-traditional wedding vows may take place when the couple are from different countries. They may combine aspects from both cultures and create their own ceremony unique for their situation.
In any respect: 1WeddingSource.com has brought together a few examples of vows that could give you the inspiration for your own unique wedding ceremony.
