I wanted to surprise my fiancé by playing guitar for him at our wedding reception (you see, I was taking lessons and everything). I ended up opting out because I thought I would embarrass myself. I completely regret not playing because even though I probably wouldn’t have played real well, it would have been an expression of my love. If you have a desire to play a song or state a poem, etc. for your fiancé, I hope you won’t let fear of embarrassment keep you from doing it, like I did!

Writing your own vows however, is an undertaking on both your parts and will require thought with regard to: style, message, whether or not you write them together, how long it should be, etc.

Tips On Writing Your Own Vows:
• Talk with your minister or officiate as he or she will inform you of any policies to be aware of when writing your own vows. He or she will also be able to offer you guidance and direction in your writing.
• Decide what you want to write about: your love story, your pledge to one another, an underlying theme that defines your relationship, all of the above, etc.
• Decide what your voice or tone will be: humorous, romantic, etc.
• Keep a journal to record what makes your relationship special.
• Take your time writing your vows. Do not rush through them.
• Incorporate humor.
• Be true to yourselves.
• PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE until you are confident. It should flow naturally.

Writing your own vows is FOREVER ROMANTIC~ written on your hearts as well as the hearts of your guests!
