After some research I have come up with what I think to be the best ideas to aid you in writing loving, and specialized vows.

1.   The first step when writing your vows is to sit down and think of questions that pertain to you and your future spouse. Writing down the answers will aid you in coming up with proper words to say when you are speaking your vows. A few examples of questions are as follows.

•    What qualities does your future spouse have that makes them so special to you?

•    When did you first know you were in love?

•    When did you first know they were the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with?

•    Why do you want to spend the rest of your life with them?

•    What does Marriage mean to you?

•    What is your favorite memory about the two of you?

•    What made you laugh together?

•    What moments made you cry together?

•    Do you have any inside jokes?

•    Are there any moments that brought you closer together?

•    What future dreams do you have that include your spouse to be?

2.    Keeping your vows personal between the two of you will enhance your special day. With the answers to your questions written down you can now think of ways to combine them into your specialized vows!

3.    If you feel that there is something lacking or you want to add more than just the answers together try to think up special quotes to your favorite movies, particular song lyrics, or lines from much loved poetry. These can be ways to easily start or end your vows and continue a flowing manner.

4.    Something to keep in mind when writing your vows is, are they written in a positive tone. You do not want to start your marriage off on the wrong foot!  An example of keeping positive is saying “I will love you forever.” Vs. “I will never hate you.” Think to yourself which sentence you would rather hear your future spouse say to you?

5.    Now that you are all set to write your vows, I want you to think about the lines you are about to say. Do your vows apply to your life and the way you feel today? But more so, will they apply to your life and the way you will feel 90 years from now. Try to keep your vows timeless, you might want to refer back to them on your anniversaries or when you have a tiff in your marriage. They may also be something you decide to frame on the wall and look at every day. With that in mind you might want to make sure whatever your vows say will always be applied to your lives together.

6.    Read your vows several times before the wedding. It would also be a good idea to read them aloud to a friend or relative to insure they flow easily and others can understand your words. Reading them aloud several times in front of others or in the mirror will also help in aiding any nerves that you might have before you read them to your companion.

7.    The most important thing to remember when reading your vows is to make sure you have fun. This is your moment to say everything you feel in your heart. Make sure that your loved one knows just what they mean to you. I know that if you follow these easy steps you will succeed in writing breathtaking vows that will inspire and impress your marriage partner!

His Tweet was, “Standing at the altar with Tracy where just a second ago, she became my wife! Gotta go, time to kiss my bride. #weddingday”

I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch. So when Tracy and I were engaged, most of my family found out via Facebook because we updated our statuses. I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during out wedding. I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself.

Here are four beginnings to inspire you. Each is linked to a Web site that features many more vows, from fully written religious ceremonies to non-traditional ideas. Start by picking and choosing the lines and paragraphs that most reflect how you feel about your upcoming nuptials. With that list in hand, you’re ready to discuss your vows with your fiance and to, together, write a ceremony that will bring your guests to tears.

• Vow to love, comfort and encourage

  I, (Bride’s Name), take you, (Groom’s Name), to be my (lawfully wedded) husband, secure in the knowledge that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love. I promise to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

• Vow to cherish and respect

  I, (name), take you, (name), to be my friend, my lover, the (mother/father) of my children and my (husband/wife). I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you for all eternity.

• Vow to share your hopes and dreams

  I affirm the special bond and unique relationship that exists between us, and promise to keep it always alive. I promise to love, respect and honor you, sharing your plans and interests, ideals and emotions, through all the trials and tribulations of life, as well as the joyous times, caring for you in lifelong commitment. I promise to be your confidante, always ready to share your hopes, dreams and secrets.

• Re-marriage: Dare to dream again

  Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again. I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my life with you, caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you in all life has for us. We will be changed forever. Without reservation. I promise to honor you, believe in you, protect you, and do everything in my power to make your life happy and fulfilled.
