Wedding Vows

Wedding Vows

As a wedding coordinator, I have many clients a bit perplexed as to what to include or not include in their wedding vows. With more and more couples choosing to have a non-religious ceremony, there are some guidelines that should be followed when creating your own wedding vows. Traditional vows are becoming less common, and more often unique and personal vows are being spoken at the altar.

Everyone has different ideas and ways to go about handling their wedding vows, however, what it really comes down to is simple: should you or should you not create your own wedding vows? For many people who are looking to be different and have more personal wedding vows, making their own wedding vows is the only way to go. However, as you make up your mock wedding vows, you will notice that it is not as easy as it sounds. Even when writing from the heart, it can be very hard to find ways to put your feelings into words. This is something that can be done, but it's always nice if you can have just a little bit of help.

Finding wedding vows online is easy. When searching for wedding vows, you will be able to find everything from funny to Christian wedding vows, however, finding the ones that are right for you should not be too difficult. Most of the time, you and your soon to be wife or husband will be able to clearly pick out wedding vows that fit your theme.

Since you are looking for ways to write your own wedding vows, you are going to want to come up with ways to reword the wedding vows that you find online. Sometimes a lot of people like to take different lines from different sets of vows. Although you did not come up with the lines, you did take the time to find the words that clearly state your feelings.

Now, when people hear of funny wedding vows, they normally do not know what to think. Before we get into some examples of funny wedding vows, you need to note that these kinds of vows are only fun when done in good taste. Saying things that are too mean or too “truthful” could end up hurting feelings, and that is not what you want on your wedding day. The best way to go about using funny wedding vows is to make sure that you use good taste and that you do not overdo it, meaning that after you put a few good punch lines in, it's time to stop. Doing too many makes it seem like you are not serious about getting married.

Do keep in mind that funny wedding vows tend to go over better at certain wedding than others, meaning that you will need to know if the people who are at your wedding are going to understand the jokes that you are making. You also need to make sure that they do understand that they are just jokes and meant to be funny.

Making your own wedding vows is never an easy task, but it is something that you can do if you use the internet to help you. If you are having a hard time coming up with your own wedding vows, then you will be happy to note that the internet is there to help you.

You might also want to ask the advice of your wedding coordinator, or the Officiant who will be presiding over your marriage. Overall, wedding vows do not have to be a stressful job. Use the internet to search for great wedding vows, and use them to help you with your wedding vow wording.
