We did and it was sooooooooooo amazing to hear DH read aloud in front of all of our friends and family why he loves me so much. It made the ceremony sooooooooooo incredibly unforgetable. I definitely recommend doing this. This was the only point during the night that I cried

im trying to avoid that exact reaction you had lol i want to try and not cry

Don't worry about it! It's ok b/c its such a real moment and one that I will remember forever! See the pic - i'm trying to hold my head up so that the tears don't run down my face :) I really love that we wrote our own vows because DH's vows was the only thing that I didn't plan when it came to this wedding and to hear his well thoughout, eloquent and loving words - well that moment was truly priceless!

we didn't exactly write our own---but we kind of took a few lines here and there from various readings that our officiant gave us to peruse....and from there we kind of merged it together to make the final product

this was the exact vows we did:

“I, Peter, take you Melissa, to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I give you my open heart and mind my time, my attention sharing love in good times and bad- sharing my fears, hopes and dreams each day and to bring joy, strength, and imagination to our relationship. I promise to give you the best of myself and to ask of you no more than you can give. I promise to respect you as your own person- to realize that your interest, desires, and needs are no less important than my own. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honor you. I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully. Come what may, I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold-so I give you my life to keep.

These are my solemn vows to you, as I promise to love you all the days of my life---So help me God.”

I LOVE that. It's beautiful.

i would looove that but FH would probably wait til 20 min before the wedding to write his. im going to have him write me a card or something to read before the wedding.
