Formula for writing vows -- Celia?

Anyone is welcome to share their advice, but I'm hoping Celia will see this and help me out. We're writing our own vows, and awhile back I think Celia gave some kind of formula for writing vows. Something like 2-3 sentences on what you love about FS and 2-3 sentences on what you promise FS in your marriage. Does this sound right, or was there another part I'm missing? I'm going to use an example I found online, but FH is writing his own so I wanted to share some tips with him that I found while looking.

There you go! Don't make it too long, don't make it so emotional that you can't consider repeating the words in public, don't embarrass your fiance.

Thanks, @LizzyS, that's exactly what I was looking for! I promise that I did search "vows" and "vows celia" before posting this! Is there a way to organize search results by date? I knew I had seen her post but couldn't find it. Thanks so much for tracking it down!

No problem Chelsea! When I read it a few days ago, I knew I was going to want to remember it later but I'd never find it again, so I took a screen shot Came in handy already!

Friends of mine did their own vows and while it was the sweetest, most romantic ceremony I'd been a part of, it was LONG. Like 20 minutes each. WAY too long. Keep in personal, but simple. You can always write him a letter with sweeter, longer reasons why you love him and want to marry him that not everyone else needs to sit through lol

Wow, agreed @MrsBest2B. Our entire ceremony will be 20 minutes, so having 1 partner's vows that long is out of the question!
