The article examines the recurrent stylistic devices in marriage vows. The investigation of the linguo-stylistic devices in marriage vows reveals that the use of a certain stylistic device pursues a definite communicative purpose, namely – the purpose of making the speech more emotional and evaluative, more expressive and stylistically colored. Many marriage vows contain elements of the creative thinking of the couple, their personal attitude and rich imagination which is expressed in such linguo-stylistic devices as metaphor, epithet, paraphrasis, inversion, parallel constructions and enumeration.
