    I wondered what other people think of writing youre own vows and what to put in them?

    All the programmes i have seen where people have written thier own seem odd to me....not the writing of your own but what they say!

    I see your vows as your promise to your partner, and in my mind i should be saying things like

    " I Promise..."
    "i will...."
    "i vow"

    etc

    yet the programmes i have seen theyre all saying things like
    "youre my rock, and youre my best friend, and since i met you youve been my true love"


    but, isnt that more like a DECLARATION than a vow?

    Or am i getting it messed up?

    Literally a vow means a promise or an oath. Although I guess vows mean different things to different people....

    I agree that it feels like you have to commit to something otherwise you arent really vowing to do anything.

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    awww lovely!
    And those are how i see vows should be!
    In my mind theyre not declarations like i love you like my best friend, youre amazing etc, i think things like that are suited to the speeches!

    I don't know yet what we're going to do but there are a zillion written vows on the net.

    I quite like this


    Today, a day of music and celebration,
    I pledge to share my life with you.
    Whether the days that come are happy or sad,
    I will live them with you.
    ____________, I give myself to you as your (husband/wife).

    you want to annoy for the rest of your life....

    But to be honest I am tending more to the pre-scripted ones. Even though that's so against my nature that's one thing where I don't habe the urge to make it my own - it seems more official if we stick to the script. We say all kinds of made up funny poems to each other - so I think at the official legalisation I'd like to keep it official. But let's see what h2b says.

    In our pack from the registry office we can choose from 3 vows.

    yeah Nicsquared, thats how i feel. You should be saying what you promise...
    my idea so far ( and this has taken me days lol)

    Amie, I promise from this day forth to treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve as my life partner.
    I promise to honour you, care for you, cherish you and love you for the rest of my days.
    I Vow to always be by your side, to smile when you smile, make you laugh when your sad, and wipe away your tears when you cry.
    I promise to encourage you to reach your goals and fulill your dreams, to support you in all you do, and to love you unconiditonally always and forever, to infinity and beyond ( yes i know thats a bit buzz lightyear, but we say it to each other everyday)
