The exchange of wedding vows may just be the most memorable part of any wedding. It is the most romantic part of the entire ceremony (that’s aside from the first kiss) and it would be the perfect setting to express your feelings with one another.

If you are like many grooms and brides, you would rather prefer to write your very own personal wedding vows However, sometimes, this job can seem to be harder than it appears. That’s why we have gathered some easy to follow steps to help you with your writing dilemma.

First and foremost, you need to decide if you will be saying the same vows to one another or use two separate wedding vows. This will be the biggest question. However, in most cases couples would opt to go for the latter option. Writing separate vows would be much more meaningful because it tends to become a personal expression of each of your affection towards one another.

Wedding vows can be composed of a prayer, a story of how you’ve met, a short gratitude speech for your spouse to be or even a combination of all in one. Here’s a short insight on how to write wedding vows.

Writing Your Vows Together:

• Make sure that you do this when both you and your fiancé is alone. Of course, you wouldn’t want others to disturb you in this most emotional endeavor.
  
• Each of you should write separate wedding vows and be sure to set limitations or themes. You can also decide to go on 2 separate rooms and just rejoin probably half an hour or more later.
  
• Do not make your vow short and simple, instead elaborate and go deeper.
  
• Once done, get back and take turns in reading each other’s vows.
  
• When you have finished reading and pondering on each of your vows, hug each other. Talk about the best parts in each of your wedding vow and gradually take parts from both vows and incorporate it into one romantic piece.
  
• You can also try to see an officiant and consult to him your personalized wedding vow and ask for approval and suggestion.
  

Writing Separate Vows:

• Get together with your spouse to be and discuss rules for each of your vows. For example, about how many sentences would they contain or would they have to contain phrases such as I love you, etc.
  
• Reminisce about the story of how you’ve met, how you felt when you realized that you are falling in love, and how happy you were when he asked you to get married.
  
• Think about your favorites. Is there a significant song that you enjoy sharing with one another? Are their words that both of you can only understand? You may also write all of these down.
  
• After writing your vow, you can also consult with your officiant separately to check for more options.
  
• Do not practice you wedding vow in front of your fiancé, unless you don’t mind that it would no longer be a surprise.
  

After your wedding, whether you decide to write separate or combined wedding vows, you can print them up and place it on a frame perhaps include it in your wedding album. This way, you will always be reminded of how you felt for one another on your wedding day.

Wedding vows serve as your remembrance of the strong passion that you felt when you about to get married. They can be the sweetest and the most memorable things to say to your husband or bride to be. Spare some time to make it more meaningful, not only for you but also for your partner.
