OH! I love your idea! That's super cute and different. We're using church sanctioned vows- totally unoriginal and not tailored to us, but the tradition is important to him so that's what we're doing. We went to a wedding this last summer where their whole vow was a big metaphor using dancing and it was Wedding Crashers-worthy (that scene with the vows using the metaphor of boats?)...
I am writing them at this exact moment, actually! And we are doing the same thing! Only not going back and forth - I know us, we'd flub that up. But we are taking paper with us - he's just folding it in his pocket.
Yes, and I am definitely bringing something up there! R and I both agree 100% on this - we tend to blank out in front of crowds. I think that I will actually get some sort of fancy journal and write mine on the first page - I'm pretty sure we'll both do that.
Afterwards, we are exchanging "repeat after me" type vows, but not quite the traditional ones, more like this:
I, A, take you, R, to be my husband, my partner, and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of what comes our way. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.
ohh, yeah metaphors would be a NO go for us. We just wanted to do something different but throw in a few lines like I promise to not burn your food so much or just silly ones but then serious ones as well. I was nervous about it with the whole wedding crashers deal, as long as it doesn't go too long and mean something. who cares.
I thought about traditional but our family has had 4 weddings in 2 summers at the same church same vows. We wanted to change it up! Wahtever suits you rifght?!?!
We are writing short letters to one another that we won't reveal to each other or anyone else except the officiant until we're reading them at our wedding. They are about how we met and the little things we love about each other. We will also do our own vows after that. Both the letters and the vows will be short and sweet, but personal. I'm a horrible public speaker though, so I'm already a little nervous! Or officiant is putting them on little cards for us that match our wedding colors, so we won't need to memorize and that should ease the nerves just a bit.
Oh I love that idea! Very cute and personable but still staying traditional. Love IT!!!
we are, but reading them to each other AFTER the wedding and just using generic for the ceremony. we are huge cry babies and don't want our wedding to be a cry fest! lol!
Your idea sounds beautiful. We wrote our own but said them one at a time but I think people will really like to see the interactive vows. My husband started to forget his during the middle but the priest was ready with a cheat sheet and then cheered for him when he got done, it was cute.
We are definitely writing our own vows! It will make it more personal. But I also want the traditional ending where we say I do...so we are combining ours with the traditional vows. :)
In addition to the pastor's pre-made vows, we'll both be saying a little something. With a note card, of course...reciting from memory would be instant fail in our case.
We wrote our own vows. My hubby totally lost it (crying) as I was reading mine and couldn't even make it through his. Come to think of it, I still haven't seen what he intended to say... I think it made the ceremony more "us".
We wrote our own vows, but knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to try to memorize them. We had the minister say them and we repeated after him.
We really like the traditional vows, but we also like the idea of making it personal, so we're writing eachother a love letter. We'll read our love letters to eachother, and then we'll recite the traditional vows. I'm a crier, so we'll see how it goes :-) I will definitely have a copy of my letter up there with me!
We wrote our own vows, and we both knew that even if we memorized them, we'd forget at the altar from all the emotions surrounding the day. We typed them up and taped them to index cards. Luckily, my dress had pockets, so that's where I kept them :)
We both wrote our own separate vows to each other, and kept them a surprise until we were at the altar.
We did the traditional "in sickness and in health" vows during the ring exchange, because it felt amazing to also say words that people have been saying for years and years.
We're writing out own but still having the traditional vows read. We will also be carrying little notcard reminders- I KNOW I'll blank out!
I love all the ideas you have come up with Bees. It's so fun to see how everyone is making their ceremony THEIR own!!!
lol joonbee! I hear you there. this is the one thing i'm most nervous about for some reason...

Hey Bees,
Anyone out there writing their own vows? If so do you plan on memorizing or carrying your little note card up there like I plan to do?!?! :-) Any cute ideas you are coming up with?
For example my Fiance and I have most likely chosen to write ours together.
They will start with both of us saying I promise from this day forward to, then we will go back and forth I will say love you till blah blah and he will say one. Then me for a number of things. All funny, sweet and sincere!
Then it will end with us saying something together!!!
