Creating Your Vows
What do you want to say? There is a special magic in the vows that you exchange on your wedding day. They offer an opportunity to express your love -- and also declare your future together. The vows are a vehicle for establishing the path your marriage will take. It is always recommended that you express your love in personalized vows.Together... or individually Some couples write and read the same vow. Others like to each write something unique and different. Some couples choose to write vows that they do not share with their Bride or Groom until the wedding ceremony itself. There are many ways you can create your vows.
Borrow from time-tested favorites If the words are not flowing,it could be that some other couple has already expressed what you feel in your hearts. It is fine to borrow from established vows found in books and on the internet, or those heard uttered at weddings you've attended. It is also completely appropriate to find readings or poems to share with one another.Speak them in a way that is most natural Couples are welcome to read vows to one another. THey can bring the vows with them down the aisle or the best man/mad of honor or officiant can hand them over at the right moment. Feeling shy? They can also be spoken in "repeat-after-me fashion," whereby the minister leads you through them. |
