Catholic wedding vows are manifested by three examination questions establishing freedom and intention of both parties, followed by recitation (or if there is a good a pastoral reason, expressed assent to) the essential formula by each party: "I, N., take you, N., as my (wife/husband). I will be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life." While conferences of bishops may propose alternate formulas (and inded, in the US, there is an alternate formula based on the pre-conciliar form) for approval by proper authority in Rome, this formula is essential for the canonical form required for a Catholic marriage. Anything else, (in particular vows composed by the parties,) is more than likely an invalid marriage in the eyes of the Church. The priest, as one who witnesses the vows, ratifies the expression of consent, proclaiming that "...what God has joined, man must not divide." The ceremonies that follow (the ring and any other optional ceremonies in the Rite of Marriage) are of catechetical and explanatory value, but are not necessary for the validity of the marriage.

What is a Christians definition of Confirmation?
Confirmation is the "confirming" of one's baptismal vows, spoken on behalf of the child in its infancy. In confirmation, the child is now old enough to affirm these vows for him/herself.
What are the parts of confirmation?
The repetition of the Baptismal vows, and the laying of the Bishop's hands on the candidate, so that he/she will receive the Holy Spirit.
What does confirm in the Anglican church mean?
Confirmation is understood in contemporary Anglicanism as a mature and voluntary affirmation of one's faith. Generally, people are baptized as children in the Anglican church and, therefore, their baptismal vows are made by their parents and held in trust for them. Confirmation is their own acknowledgment and affirmation of these vows.
What does the bishop say as he confirms you?
"I do." (when responding to your Baptismal vows.)
What does the renewal of baptism mean?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no such thing as a "renewal of baptism", there is a renewal of Baptismal vows, which is done every year at the Easter Vigil, and at other times on special occasions. It is the solemn renewal of these promises.
What is confirmation when compared to the rest of the sacraments?
Confirmation is a personal reaffirmation of the baptismal vows made in proxy on your behalf. This time, you say it, instead of your parents and godparents.
Why do you repeat your baptismal vows?
Repeating your baptimsmal vows is just like a shower. Yuo have been running miles and miles. You are sweaty, dirty, and unwanted. God takes you in and you are baptized. Along your Christian walk you may feel that dirty deeling again. That is why you repeat the vows, so that you give yourself to God again.
What are the steps on how to celebrate a Catholic confirmation?
Stand up before the Bishop. Repeat your Baptismal vows. Let the Bishop touch your forehead & say the words "Receive the Seal of the Holy Spirit."
Why must you go to confirmation?
Because confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church, its graces complete baptism and give the confirmed person the graces that they need to live out their baptismal vows.
What do the baptismal promises have to do with Confirmation?
At Baptism, the child's parents & godparents make the vows. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows for him/herself..Catholic ChurchIn the Catholic Church, Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, all of which are given at the same time, shortly after birth, except in the Latin Rite, in which they are separated. Thus the baptismal promises are an integral part of all three sacraments, but the sacrament of confirmation is just the strengthening of the Holy Spirit to live out those promises. In all but the Latin Rite, the confirmand is a newborn and much too young to "renew" the vows for himself. So the Baptismal promises are integral to all three, but the specific action of Confirmation is the strengthening by the Holy Spirit to live out those promises.
Does you will mean you promise?
No!!!! * Yes, when said as part of the wedding vows.
What are the different things that the bishop will do during the Rite of Confirmation?
He will ask the young people to say their Baptismal vows(which all come from the Apostles' & the Nicene Creeds), & then he will touch the young person's foreheads & say, "Receive the Seal of the Holy Spirit."
