Writing Your Own Wedding Vows With Your Own Style And Personality
Ahh, love is in the air, and a wedding is scheduled
. Everything from top to bottom of the ceremonial details have been meticulously gone over and confirmed. You are pretty sure that you have all the bases covered and then out of the blue your bride makes another request. "Why don't we write our own vows?" she asks.
At first it may seem like a simple task. You write down a few lines that you believe would sound good in front of God and all the witnesses, but as you read it aloud you realize the words you just wrote are not you. Your mind's thoughts of creativity begin to tailspin. You must come up with something better than this dribble you just wrote, but how?
Writing your own wedding vows can be a daunting task to say the least. Especially so if you have not one ounce of writer's creativity within you. However there are a few simple tricks I will present to you here that may spark the writer within you and have you looking like a champ in your bride's eye.
The first thing you should do is to grab pen and paper and make a list. On the piece of paper make three sections about five to seven lines apart from one another. These will be your categories. Name these categories like so:
Things we like to do together or have done together
Plans for the present
Goals for the future
Let's start with the first category "Things we like to do together or have done together."
On the five to seven lines of space you allotted for this section list things that you both have done in the past while dating that you both enjoyed and had good times while doing them. You could generalize them by listing things such as:
We like camping,
We both love watching movies in a theater,
We had a great time together at the Grand Canyon on vacation last year.
Try to think of things you either have done or like to do together and list them each on a separate line.
In the next section, "Plans for the present" add things like:
I will always be there to comfort you whenever you have a problem,
I promise to provide for your every need,
Our days together from this day forward will always be happy.
List five to seven things that you want to make as goals for making your lives together happy from this point on.
Finally, in the last section, "Goals for the future" add things such as:
Move into a bigger house,
Build a home, not a house, together,
Have many beautiful children
Try to think of goals that are actually obtainable even if they may take a long time to accomplish. The idea is to portray that you think of your future together and how you want it to be both happy and successful.
When finished with these three sections of the list begin to piece them together in a two paragraph description of how you would like for your marriage to turn out. Try to begin with a happy statement of how you met while doing something you both love doing. Then lead into how you will strive to make her life and yours better from this point on. Finally end with a couple of long term goals you would like for you both to work towards.
The key to having the vows come out as a personal dedication is to add your own style and personality into the wording of your thoughts and goals. By making a list as described above you can easily piece together a perfectly good set of wedding vows that will be remembered by all for years to come.
