Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

We are writing our own, but will also use some of the traditional.
For example, after we say our own, the officiant will say:
Do you __ take ___ to be your wife....

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

FH wants us to write our own and he already kinda knows what he's gonna say!! I know how I feel but I have no idea what words to use to express that, it'll be a project for me when I finally sit down and try to figure this one out!!!

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

I really like this and then do the rings Traditional

Groom, would you repeat after me:

Bride, I vow to be your faithful husband. I offer you my pure and true love and my unwavering support throughout all of our lives. As I stand here now, and in the presence of God, I commit myself to you. As we grow and share together, I shall encourage you and strive to help you achieve your full potential as God's creation, then I will celebrate your progress. I give myself to you as I am and as I will be for all of my life.

Traditional. I suggested writing our own, and he said he's not good at that kind of thing.

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

definitely traditional...i'd be too nervous/selfconscious to read something personal

on another note, the pastor better be saying it verrrrry slow or i'll probably flub reciting it!

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

Traditional, I would have so many things going on in my head that day, to change it up would confuse me even more!

Traditional, I'm a sucker for tradition. I don't think I could come up with anything a sweet and as beautiful as the original vows.

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

As much as I tend to have a gift for writing meaningful and sappy things, we plan on sticking to a traditional Jewish ceremony. It will be hard enough to repeat in English AND in Hebrew but to add my own vows to the mix just asks for a major flub on my part.

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

for the ceremony we are going traditional, but I plan on writing something for him to read while he's getting ready the day of (I'll put it in his pocket or something the day before)....I would't be able to keep it together if I read it in public.

I would NOT be pretty!

Re: Traditional vows or writing your own Poll?

Now that I remembered...did any of you see the best of celebrity weddings 2005 on VH1 yesterday??? They showed Joey Fatone from NSYNC reading his vows to his wife and half-way through he LOST it... he was crying and talking in a pitch-tone voice...it was hysterical!
