Your vows

We are singing our vows to each other. 🥰

Oh that's awesome!!!

We are definitely saying our own and I think saying a brief traditional vow

I’m voting traditional. I hope FH agrees with me 😂

We are going with traditional vows, because we didn't want the pressure of writing our own. BUT, I didn't realize there were many variations of the traditional vows, based off the different religions and such. So, we chose a combo of two traditional ones to form it just right for us. For anyone interested in the traditional vows, here is the link that my Pastor told me to pick from:

We wrote our own vows. It was important to us that we could speak from our hearts rather than just words that everyone says. I’m all for some traditional things but not when it came to my vows. That’s just me though.

We are writing are own! The first 3/4 of mine are more personal and the last part is more traditional but still personalized

We are writing our own. I don't know what my FH is coming up with but I looked up some inspiration on Google and incorporated some into mine along with what I wanted to say personally. We did agree that we will both use the last line from what I wrote which my FH loves and so it all goes together in the end. Neither of us are religious so we didn't want to go traditional.

This is kind of where we're at right now. We'd love to have some perfect, romantic words to say to each other, pour out our hearts and souls. But at the same time, we realize that coming up with those perfect words is a LOT of pressure!! So, I've been looking into the variations on the traditional vows. Whew! I didn't realize how hard writing our own would be until I started doing it. Yikes.

Thanks for the link!

We wrote our own vows, but also had our officiant read the traditional "do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health.... etc. till death do you part" after our self-written vows.

My mom said she looked around and about half the people at our ceremony were full-on crying during our vows! So many people came to me at the reception saying we had the most beautiful most emotional ceremony they had ever seen, and that it was mostly because of our self-written vows. I even had a married couple tell me that we inspired them to write their own renewed vows to each other! Lol. Hearing his vows and reading mine was BY FAR the best part of our day..... and we had an amazing day, so that's saying a lot!

I would like to write our own but FH is bad with things like that so I’m not sure he’d be totally on board.

We are doing 100% traditional "till death do us part" vows! I always wanted to do traditional vows because I knew how much it would mean to my grandmother. She passed away in Jan 2017 so this is just one way we are honoring her by having her wish of traditional vows be included in our ceremony.

We are writing our own. We also wrote the ceremony script for the officiant.

Shutterfly has a great article with tips for writing your own vows.

We are doing traditional vows (really a variation..) but we are doing a wine box ceremony with letters to each other to read on our first anniversary. FH isn't much for writing so the pressure of writing our own vows would be too much. This way we can still speak from the heart, but without the anxiety!

We are actually writing EACH OTHER'S vows. My FH's idea. Lol We will be getting married by a pastor and we have asked him to do a blessing and a few readings.

FH and I are doing quick, traditional vows. We really want to enjoy the reception!

I think we will probably do a little mix of both. Instead of the "til death do us part" I put a LOTR quote in there that I know will make FH tear up. "I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all of the ages of the world alone."

We're just doing traditional vows. With probably a few edits. We aren't going to obey. Lol.
We didn't want to write our own. Too much personal, feelings, too sappy, too much for us.

That's sweet! I couldn't do it. I'd end up sounding like a dying alley cat especially with all the nerves I know I'm going to be filled with already lol

We are writing our own. So nervous haha
