    I'm not religious, nor am i traditional so therefore myself and Anthony will be writing our own vows and thus they will mean more to us personally than "i do solomley declare..."

    i was just wondering if anyone else is writing their own vows, and if anyone knows the exact requirements for your own vows, i.e i know you cant have any religious content (not a prob for us) but is there anything else we should know?

    hi hon, we are writting our own vows,all the ones from the registrar are a bit contracty! had to do alot of research. we figured out a vow is like a promice... mine are

    "I promice to care for you with love and friendship,to support you and blackburn rovers, to comfort, respect and cherish you and be faithful to you always. These promices i make to you are for the rest of my life."

    Were having a church ceremony and are writing our own vows, there are some things that we have to say word for word legally, but our priest has been really helpful and helped us incorporate it into our own vows.

    We are writing our own vows but telling them to eachother later on in the day as were extremely shy in saying them infront of everyone and thought it would be nice to have a little 'moment' later on!! :) xx

    David and I were going to if we are allowed we thought we'd squeeze in our own promises as well as doing the legal vows

    We wrote our own vows and the Registrar has agreed them as long as there was no religious content, which there wasnt, she actually said they were lovely x

    What is the single greatest thing about the person you are going to marry?

    When did you know that you were in love/ know that this person was the one you wanted to marry?

    What does marriage mean to you? Why do you want to be a married person?

    What will change about your relationship once you are married? What will stay the same?

    What is your most favorite memory of your partner?

    When you were little, did you dream of your wedding day or your future spouse? How does that vision match up (or not) with your sweetheart?

    some inspiration for vow writing ?????

    (Name of your sweetheart), you are my (best friend, one true love, the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, etc.) Today, I take you to be my (wife, husband, lawfully wedded wife or husband, life partner, etc.) I promise you that I will be (faithful, worthy of your trust, worthy of your love, your loving partner, etc.) I vow to (honor you, cherish you, love you, respect you, laugh with you, cry with you, support you in your goals, etc.), (insert here the length of your vow, for example, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live.)
