Tips For Writing Your Own Wedding Vows

Why couples choose to write their own wedding vows varies, but ultimately it is to infuse a true reflection of their personality into the ceremony. Though it sounds so romantic and unique, when it comes to putting pen to paper the task can seem a little daunting. If writing your owns vows is a desire, follow these simple tips to make the process easy, fun, and something to cherish for a lifetime.

• The first question to ask yourself is will the bride and groom recite the same or different vows. Knowing this will help with the next tip.


• Decide ahead of time if you plan to write them together or separate. If you plan to recite the same vows it is often easier to do this together. If you prefer each to have their own unique vows it may be easier to do this alone. Many couples that want to have unique vows from one another like to keep the revealing of them a secret until the actual ceremony. This tends to add a bit of romance and raw emotion to the ceremony.

• Next, ask yourself w hat is the overall goal of writing your own vows. Once you determine why it is so important to you it is often easier to come up with material. Also, answering this one question will often spur ideas and act as an inspiration for what you will say.

• In order to have some consistency among the vows , determine ahead of time if there will be a theme, ie religious, not religious, serious, funny, or witty, etc.

• Once you put pen to paper, it is often helpful to answer the following questions in the vows:

o Why are your marrying them?
o Why do you love them?
o How do they make you feel?
o How do you plan to show your love eternally?
o What is your favorite attribute/memory about them?

• In order to keep it personal, try to write it as though you were writing a note to your fiancé.

• For inspiration you can utilize words from a meaningful song that you share.

• If you are having trouble finding words to accurately express your feelings, consider using quotes that are significant. Also, you may find helpful information at weddingvowtoolkit.com .

• Remember to keep it concise…they are vows not speeches!

• Have others read it before the ceremony if you feel comfortable with sharing them ahead of time.

• Practice reading the vows out loud and in front of a mirror to watch how your facial expressions convey what you are saying.

• Write the vows down and use your notes during the ceremony. Nerves often set in and you may forget what you are wanting to say. The day is not about how well you can memorize lines and recite them…save that for your audition on Days of Our Lives. The vows are a time to express to your love in front of the world how much you love them.

There are many ways to write your vows. Remember the wedding isn't about everyone in attendance…it is about the couple. No matter what you say or how you say it, the other will love you until the end of time. After all, that is why they are marrying you!
