Writing Your Vows

So you are going to get married to the love of your life and you want to write a beautiful, simple wedding vow for your ceremony, because you know the memory of those deep, heartfelt words will last for a lifetime.

These days it’s becoming more and more common for couples to write their own unique yet simple wedding vows. Here are 3 tips to help you write your own romantic and memorable wedding vows:

Don’t Try to Impress People

Some people try to write a wedding vow that is impressive and mouthful. They feel this will make their wedding ceremony more special. But the truth is that it’s completely the opposite. It will just make your words sound insincere and faked, so your wedding vow won’t have any impact on your loved one, or even the guests.

Simply speak from your heart. It doesn’t matter if you use very simple words that you speak in your day to day conversation. It’s the feeling in those words that matters. Because “what comes from the heart, reaches the heart.”

Speak from Your Heart

Go to a peaceful place so that your mind slows down and is relaxed. Then close your eyes and imagine that your partner is standing in front of you smiling at you.

Look into his/her eyes and remember the beautiful memories you’ve had together. All those days that you laughed and cried together. Feel how much you love him/her with all your heart. Then, as your eyes are still closed and you still see your loved one in front of you, think about what you would like to tell him/her at this very moment. No one else is there. Just you two. So tell him/her whatever your heart desires.

When you try this, you’ll find yourself expressing your feelings in a very deep and heartfelt way. These words will make the perfect wedding vow for your wedding.

Read Romantic or Spiritual Prose

Another great way to get you thinking is to read something beautiful, romantic or insightful. That might be poetry or it might be spiritual.

Let yourself be inspired from the author’s deep, romantic language. Write down any words that reflect your feelings for your loved one as well. Before you know it, you’ll be writing beautiful sentences that will be perfect for your wedding vow.
