Yes my wedding is a bagillion days away but my vows came to my while I was looking at a sign and I just wrote them out in my own words and I feel they are great. What are your thoughts. Please help me with my horrid wording and punctuation (and spelling as I am not good at that either)
“I take you, mr waiting, to be my best friend, my partner in crime, my one true love, and my loving husband. I promise to encourage you as well as inspire you. I pinky promise to truly love you through all of our good moments in addition to any of the bad. I promise that I will forever be here to laugh with you, to cry with you, and to lift you up when you are down. But, most of all, I promise to love you unconditionally through every last adventure this life has in store for us. For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for all the days of our life, FOREVER is what I promise, to stand by you and love you.”
The last part is what is getting me the most. How do I reword it to make it better. I need for sickness and in health as me and him have been through a lot of health issues together and I thought it would be amazing to include that.

@Waitingbee57: I love them!!!!! So beautiful! They almost made me tear up! And I love how you’re incorporating the traditional vows too! You could incorporate “to stand by you and love you” somewhere else, or just leave it out. I think it would be dramatic to end with “Forever is what I promise.” or “I promise you my forever.”

@Waitingbee57: I agree, finish it at forever is what I promise. They are very nice.
After i read the line “but most of all” i started singing that song “but most of all… but most of all… I wanna see you mooooove!” Yup, not helpful.

Wow, that’s tough. I sat here thinking for a good five minutes or so, and everything I have come up with has been unbearably corny.

Aww thank you.
Yes the end is going to say “Forever, is what I vow to you” or something along those lines I have 11 months to figure that part out

Nice vows. I really like the end. I wouldn’t personally use “partner in crime” or “pinky promise” in my vows but that’s just me. 🙂

@MissPine: Oh that’s our personality. We are little kids at heart sometimes and every single thing is a “pinky promise” or “pinky” as we call it.
