We are having both the traditional vows and personal ones we wrote to each other.

I thought I would share what we wrote together today in case it helps anyone else out!

His:

[My name], on this day I pledge myself completely to you, forsaking all others. I pledge to remain honest, true, and only act in love towards you. I will shelter you from harm, and always forgive you, without reservation.

I want to share all that is to come, and the fullness of life with you. I know this is a long and oftentimes difficult journey we are starting together, but I will stay walking with you for as long as we shall live.

I am given hope in this by the beauty of your spirit, your forgiveness and the depth of your love. I have faith that with these, and the influence of the Holy Spirit working within us, there is nothing in this world that can truly come between us.

I am thankful to have met you, pursued you, and won you over. The thought of life with you fills me with joy. You have won me over totally, and I am yours from this day forward.

Mine:

[His name], I will stand by you throughout the seasons of our lives. I will be there with you when we are newlyweds, as we become homeowners, and parents. I will be beside you as our children leave home, and as we become grandparents, and grow old and frail. I will be your wife, the mother of your children, and a faithful friend for life.

I know that you are not perfect, but I love you all the more for knowing and understanding your weaknesses, hopes and fears. I love you for seeing mine and simultaneously loving me as I am and helping me become the woman God made me to be. It is the hard times that will shape our marriage, and I promise to work through them with you and be the best wife that I can be.

[His name], you are my friend and (almost) husband, my clown and my hero. I love you, and I am yours.

It was so touching writing them together; we both got a bit teary! Is anyone else writing their own? What do yours say?

We are writing our own vows, but because our wedding is so far away, we just have ideas of what we are going to say. I think our own vows are more personal! Yours sound amazing!!!

Thank you! I love that they are both different, because they each reflect ourselves and our love for the other. Fi wants to do them right after the traditional ones.

we are writing our our ceremony and vows- I think it might be my most favorite part of the planning.
