Keep/cancel I want to have a mix of both since we’ve been together for 8 years now, I think it will be nice to say our own vows but with a little tradition

Honestly torn. Thinking on doing our own vows at our first look but traditional for the ceremony.

We’re having the ceremony in our church so we have to keep it traditional. They’re a stickler for that.

Ish?
We're working on them, now. Our officiant hasn't put them in, but I'm thinking I'd like some of the tradition?

My fiance and I are going to do a first look where we will say our own personal vows, then at the ceremony we will read the traditional vows.. We wanted it to be more personal and not share our sappy vows with all our family and friends!

We're sort of keeping this… our officiant has a template she's offered to us, so we may use that, but we will be writing unique content.

I'm fine with keeping it. There is definitely nothing wrong with doing traditional vows. We may say a few words to personalize them though.

I’m in between on this. I think we are doing a mix of traditional and adding in our own. I like the traditional but also want to be able to make it personal.

Haven't decided yet. We don't necessarily want to write our own, but I don't necessarily want to keep traditional so I may just write something that speaks to us that we both say.

Cancel. I just got our vow books in the mail!! Early but they were on sale and on theme so I couldn't resist! I am so ready to profess my undying love for that man in front or everyone and I am ready to hear his. I think this is the part of the wedding the I am most excited about. I am ready for that raw emotion, for that moment that everyone understands how strong our bond is. We have been through so much and that will be our moment. The entire point of the wedding.

I think this one really depends on the couple — we are writing our own, but have asked our officiant to stray away from anything too traditional for our ceremony.

Cancel! I've always liked personalized vows, it seems more meaningful and sweet, though i'll admit i'm having some trouble writing mine! lol
