Epic ceremony vows.
Wedding vows are a big deal, whether you choose to write your own personal vows, or recite the traditional ones. There are so many ways to express to your partner what is in your heart. To make your promises for a long and happy future together and have your love witnessed by your nearest and dearest. You can choose from the traditional vows spoken by billions of couples over the centuries, a mash up of both the classic and some of your own personal touches or you can choose to write your own vows, making them as unique as you are.
So how do you decide?
Wedding vows are all about the promises you're making to your partner about the marriage you are signing up for and the commitment you are making to them. They are not only vows to marry you but a template for how you will live your lives from this moment forward. If you choose to go traditional—"for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health"—much of your work is already done for you. However, if you choose to write personal vows, grab a glass of wine, a beer or a cheeky cocktail and start digging deep. Here are my top 10 tips to make them epic…
Start with a statement about who this person is to you.
Continue by saying what it is you love about your partner.
Use a story to bring this love to life.
Lay out exactly what it is you are promising.
Use romantic wedding vows to personalise your promise.
Use funny wedding vows to personalise your promise.
Mention specific things the two of you will do together.
Don’t forget to add that you’ll be there even when times get rough.
Wrap your vows up with a look towards the future.
“As long as we both shall live.”
