Re-wrote & changed my vows again - i think these may stay!

Charlie, on May 16, 2019 at 9:47 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8

" Today, I take you as you are in loving what I know of you now and trusting what I don’t yet know. I promise to listen to you and learn from you for you are my greatest teacher. I will celebrate your triumphs and mourn your losses as though they are my own. What is mine is yours as today we become one. "

I took inspiration from this;
" I take you to be my spouse. I promise to choose you every day, to love you in word and deed, to do the hard work of making now into always. To laugh with you, cry with you, grow with you, and create with you. To honor the divinity in you, of you, and around you. To be your kin and your partner in all of life’s adventures. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don’t yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself. Will you give me yourself? Will you come to travel with me?"


But wasn't really my style & seemed longer than my fiancé's chosen vows.

I think this sums us up well as things in our lives are constantly changing and have been through so much horrible stuff together , some I feel that was made to test us (as in make or break us) but didn't want to sound negative. When he's down I'm down and when he's happy i am... even when i am suffering a bad day.

We're constantly learning off of each other and he helps me to be a better person. We've always had the saying of "what is mine is yours" - was going to put a joke about underwear but thought it was too crude , may include this in a letter to him of the morning of letter. We always compliment each other when we do something new or overcome something (Like getting a good report from work, passing driving test etc)

    I love it! I don't know what I want my vows to be... This is what I have... Any opinions on what to change and how to shorten it up? Would really help!

    "When I first met you, I knew that we would share all the beautiful things in life. I knew you were the one. No matter the ups, no matter the downs- I knew and had faith that one day I would be your wife and you my husband. The kids and I love you so much and are so grateful you chose us to not only love but to protect, provide for and be our anchor that holds us to solid ground. Thank you for taking us under your wing and showing us what true love is and thank you for loving me effortlessly & flawlessly. I promise to work everyday harder than the next for our marriage I promise to pray for you every single day, I promise to never let you go one day wondering if I love you. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life growing with you, making you laugh, making you happy and accomplishing all that life has to offer. I promise to always put God first and I promise to make you, eliza and aj my priority. & I promise to love you and only you for the rest of my life."
