Hello Melissa, You could ask your Celebrant for help with this one.  I personally, have many vows for couples to choose from.  I send them some examples which I think would suit their personality.  Then they can piece together their own vow or write their own from the examples I have sent. Alternativly - Google, google and google - fabulous amount of vows to look at. Have a wonderful day, Jan

Hi Your celebrant should be able to guide you so that you come up with meaningful vows to say to your husband. Also use google. Some vows can incorporate the following: I love you....you are my best friend.....trust.....be honest.....help and support you...be faithful.

Hi Melissa, I normally give some suggestions of vows just to give you a starting point. You can always google "wedding vows" Or try doing dot points of all the things you love about your partner, then it should be easier to write it into sentences and make it flow. your celebrant may be able to give you hand if you are having too much trouble :-)

To get you started think about the moment you first met or when you knew you had fallen in love, write down how that made you feel, then write down the thing that you love most about your partner, write down what you want for your marriage and future together - a home, family etc. Once you have a few things on paper you will find it easier to put your vows together. Remember you can say whatever you want, at the end you just have to include the legal part about calling upon the persons present to witness etc that your celebrant will advise you of. Ask your celebrant for more help if your still stuck.

I find that most couples know what they would like to say but they are just not sure how to express it. Talk to your celebrant. I have about 20 different examples that I offer to my Bride and Groom This is just a guide but it will give you plenty of ideas how to express what you are feeling. Begin by writing a few lines, then go over it adding a little extra as time goes by. When you are reasonable happy with what you have written run it past your celebrant and I am sure they would help in perfecting your own ideas. The most important content of your vows is that it comes from your heart.

Yes it can freak people out - most couples have never done this before! Firstly, start taking notes now. Start a note in your phone, and when something pops into your head, jot it down. So you'll have things like: loves animal/generous/family important/gorgeous smile/adventurous spirit.... Then I tell my couples to look back to what attracted them in the first place - first time you saw each other/how you courted/how you got to know each otherThen move to what made you decide you wanted to marry & be together forever. The qualities, quirks, personality, attributes you love.Lastly think about where you want to go together in your relationship, what you look forward to in your future together. Breaking it down into these 4 simple frames makes my couples take a sigh of relief knowing they just have to put these things together. Beautiful!

Congratulations on your engagement! Many people stress over wedding vows but you don't have to. Vows are highly personal. You love your partner. What does that mean to you? What are the little things that make you happy? What are the things that only you share? All wedding vows must contain the legal component "I call upon the people here present to witness that I (your name) take you (your partner's name) to be my lawful wedded (husband / wife). Beyond this they can be whatever you want. As you are speaking your vows looking into the eyes of the person you love it's hard to go wrong! Please email me if you would like further examples. :-)
