Vows

Crashing .... DH and I wrote our own vows and i'm soooo happy we did. The vows really made our ceremony memorable and extra-special. But they really were a HUGE pain to write.

if you're too nervous to read the vows in front of others, you can read them to each other privately right after the ceremony (in the bridal suite)

Awwww!! Thats so nice!!!! I'm sure they are hard to write but I feel like it'd be sooo worth it!

I would love to write our own, but FH refuses.. LOL.. he would never be able to read them in front of all our guests.. Luckily our Monsignor requires us to write essays explaining why we are marrying each other and he will read them to everyone so at least FHs feelings will be put out there (mine will too but i dont mind )

Thanks!! It might be a good experience, even if we dont end up using them!

We are doing something different I found something written that I adored so we are using this:

From This Day Forward

Author Unknown

From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home.

We even had from this day forward engraved inside our wedding bands!!!!!!!!

writing our own.

This was one of my requests to FH as soon as we got engaged. I think it makes the ceremony so special and touching.

RENNNN!!!! I LOVE THISSSSSSSSSSSSS

we are writing on our own

i feel like the ceremony is the most important part and i really want it to be personal and want our guests to feel that it is personal

it will be something short and sweet
no 'i promise not to eat the green m&ms' or other corny lines like that

if we dont write our own 'vows' then we will say something to each before the vows

i want to say the traditional vows AND something personal

I hope that we write most of it. I find them toe so sincere. I know sometimes guests think they are longer or not necessary, but I like em.

I hope they come out right, if not I guess the norm. I don't want to ramble or get away from the point because if you knew me, that is usually the case. Lol

When we first talked about vows, FH was the first one to say that we're writing our own and I completely agreed with him. I can't wait to hear his vows and for him to hear mine. I probably will be a complete mess saying them and hearing them, but it's one of the things I'm most looking forward to from the whole wedding
