A traditional Jewish wedding, that is, one conducted strictly in accordance with
Jewish law, has no recitation of wedding vows.
As the groom gives the bride a ring during the Jewish public wedding ceremony,
he says to her (in Hebrew if at all possible): "Become holy to me on account of
this ring, according to the customs of Moses and Israel." Except for that, no other
words are spoken by either party.
Another part of the wedding process, however, does involve a formal 'contract',
signed by the groom and witnesses in advance of the ceremony. It details the
groom's responsibilities to provide for the bride's material well-being. The text
and format are specified in detail in Jewish law. The document is read publicly,
usually by an honored guest, during the ceremony.
