Writing your own wedding vows can be a personal way to make them very special. Whether the bride and groom want to write their vows together or separately, it's important to make the decision early.
To help focus before writing your vows, try answering some of these questions:
-At what point did you realize you loved each other?
-What qualities of his/hers do you consider the most special?
-What is your ideal life together look like?
-What makes him/her so important to you?
-What does the significance of marriage mean to you?
-What do you think about when you hear the words love and commitment?
Pros and Cons for talking topics:
Pro - trying to write your vows when you can really concentrate
Con - forgetting to ask your officiant about anything that may have to appear in the vows
Pro - trying to start your vows by using a traditional wedding vow line
Con - writing everything in one sitting. Write, think about it, and write again
Pro - trying to use your favorite lines from love songs, poems, or other readings
Con - using too private stores that will make guests feel uncomfortable
Pro - showing the officiant your final copy
Con - forgetting to practice reading your vows aloud, speak clearly so everyone can hear you
I hope this helps when the time comes!
