How to write your own vows
The most important aspect of writing your own vows is that you are both willing to do so, if you are not committed it will reflect in your words.
Your vows are promises you really mean.
Initially you should communicate honestly, uncovering the soul reasons why you were attracted to each other and recall special memories that set you on this journey to becoming husband and wife.
Decide if your vows are going to be romantic, comical, poetic or historic. By establishing a theme it will give you a starting point to write vows that will complement each other.
Generally speaking vows are about one minute in length, if the wording is too long or drawn out it seems less sincere. What you are saying to each other are words promising “real life commitment”, not a staged oath.
To simplify the composition of your vows select adjectives to unveil your individual story. By understanding their true meaning it will uncover the words to include in your personal vows. (Compassionate, Generous, Unselfish, Noble, Affectionate, Trustworthy)
Your chosen celebrant can assist you in the composition of your vows, helping you to outline a structure or a style to suit your needs.
It is wise to compose your vows well prior to your ceremony to remove the responsibility from your mind, the thought of sharing this verse with your family and friends will make each word even more meaningful and sincere.
The moment in time when you make your vows is a unique experience; ideally, you look directly into each other’s eyes, undisturbed by any interruptions, and share your heartfelt words of devotion.
