With all the wedding planning that’s consumed your time as a newly engaged couple it’s important not to forget about the most important part of the ceremony and the reason for all this excitement, you’re getting married! You and your husband are forsaking all others and devoting yourselves to each other for the rest of your lives! You want to put a lot of thought into how you want to say your vows! You can go traditional, or make your own. It’s completely up to your wishes as a couple.
Traditional: Traditional Vows are when you express your love for each other without mentioning the presence of God or any other religious figure. This may be a good method to use if you and your spouse have differing religious beliefs or if you don’t want religion to be a part of your wedding.
Non-Traditional: Non-Traditional Vows are vows that you write on your own specifically for each other. You are able to personalize them this way and make them special and unique just for you two as a couple. If you choose this option you may also be able to incorporate some humor into them if it’s appropriate for you two as a couple.
Religious Vows: These are pretty much the same as Traditional Vows except you do incorporate God or any other religious figure. You can also add religious Vows into Non-Traditional Vows as well.
When choosing the right Vows for you it’s important to first look at the wishes and views of you and your future husband. Also take into account your audience and location of the wedding. There’s no wrong way to go with this as long as you and your future husband are both happy!
