Writing our own vows

Lexi, on July 11, 2019 at 7:08 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 13
I know there’s technically no right or wrong way to write your own vows but can you just say why you love them and maybe some promises you plan to keep during the marriage? Can they have a few funny lines? Should the grooms layout of how they’re written be similar? Just trying to figure this out 😂 Thanks in advance!

    Hi Lexi! I used the template I found on wedding wire to help me write mine. My fiancé and I discussed ahead of time that we’d like ours to be more serious. Though there may be some funny spots, overall they’ll be serious. My fiancé and I will have similar patterns but not the same of course.

    Here's a site that I thought was really helpful. We are writing ours too.

    I just went with my heart. I had some funny things to say, some really sweet things and then of course the things I promise to do in our marriage. There are no rules. We each wrote ours then had a mutual friend read them to see if we were in the same page and ironically my friend said she couldn’t believe how similar they were. Good luck!

    We are doing traditional vows. Then sending a sweet note to each other. It will. E the FG and RB job to deliver them. If they want to.

    We did exactly as you described. My husband wrote his first and let me know if the format and length.
    2-3 minutes long
    Reasons I love you
    Promises/vows
    80% serious, 20% silly or funny
    People thought we wrote them together they fit so perfectly.

    We are writing our vows straight from the heart ❤️ I have a few funny things in there but not sure about what my fiancé will say

    I googled some ideas of how to word things but everything I wanted to say came from the heart. There are definitely some funny things in there because that's who we are. I told my FH what the last line of mine was because I thought it was something we could both use and he agreed. His cousin is our officiant so we are going to send our vows to him once FH is finished with his (mine have been done for months lol) to make sure they are similar in length and content.

    We’re writing our own ceremony and there’s a lot of resources online to help! I liked atypical bride! I think your vows should be exactly what you what them to be, as serious, sentimental or silly as you feel. I think I’d have someone check them over to make sure they’re a similar(ish) structure and vibe.

    I think whatever you want to say, whether it be serious or funny, is completely appropriate. I also think that you shouldn’t base your vows off what the other wrote. So if one is funny and the other is serious, I think it’ll mean more because it will be your true self talking and that is who they fell in love with and that is who is making those promises.
