Figuring out your personal vows.....

Maura · March 27, 2008

easy for me, catholic wedding.... you arent allowed to write your own! but i think if i could write my own, i would say something really from the heart. since i cant, i am writing it in a letter for my FI and having it delivered to him as he's getting ready on our wedding day.

i'm having the same issue. i just googled writing vows and have been compiling ideas. But i think i'm gonna stick to the "I promise to be" format and just make it relate to us. i think...

i'm gonna have it on a piece of paper just in case but try to memorize it. no added pressure on myself.

Ive decided im just going to speak from the heart, as if no one was watching us. Im just really nervous! Probably will for sure have to have it written down too....i get way too emotional, I cry just thinking about it!

Definitely have it written down or give to your officiant and you can repeat after them. You have no idea how you're going to feel when you're up there.

That is what I am going to do, there is no way I will be able to remember anything. I am such an emotional mess.

I have no idea where to start either...another I need to do.

That's is a great idea. My FI decided that he did not want anyone else to have the same vows so it looks like we are writing our own! I will definitely be writing them down. You could even decorate the paper that you write them on with ribbon or something in the color theme of your wedding. (All the prettier in your pictures!)

Nikki that is such a cute idea! I love the idea of putting it on pretty paper with a ribbon. It gives it a special touch!
