Couples say We Still Do at Coventry Cathedral

Dozens of people confirmed their love for each other on a special Valentine’s Day event at a city cathedral.

Organised by BBC CWR, the We Still Do celebration saw 80 couples fill Coventry Cathedral with family and friends to renew their commitment to each other.

Some turned up in their original wedding outfits, several now had children in tow – and one couple even brought their beloved dog with them.

Guests were also treated to a surprise appearance from pop star Pixie Lott as well as a reading from actor Yasmin Wilde – with the event streamed live on the BBC iPlayer.

As part of the ceremony, the couples were invited to say these words:

Today, I choose you again, as I did then, as I will always.

I promise to keep building with you, to listen, to laugh, to stand beside you.

To honour the love we have made, to cherish the life we are creating.

Time may leave its marks upon us,

but it cannot wear away the truth:

You are my beloved, my partner, my gift.

And with all that I am,

I promise— again and always—to be yours.
