How to Choose Pre-Written Wedding Vows

If you’re trying to find the right words for your wedding day, but just can’t put them together, there’s nothing wrong with using vows that were previously written. After all, as long as you genuinely mean what’s written, it doesn’t matter whether you wrote them or not. Here are some steps on how to choose pre-written wedding vows.

1. Consider the things that you would like to express. It’s best to have a general idea of what kind of things you’re looking to say before you look for vows.
2. Search online for Web sites that may have some pre-written vows. There will be a wide variety of sites offering hundreds of pre-written vows, and even quality suggestions for finding them.
3. Check in your local bookstore or library for wedding planning books. You may be able to find helpful books with a number of suggested vows already written for you.
4. Put together a list of vows that sound good to you, whether from books or Web sites or even your married friends. With a good list to start with, you can next sort through them and weed out the ones you really like.
5. Consider which ones strike you the most. Try and relate them with the ideas that you had previously formed about what you would like to express.
6. Pick out an appropriate vow and arrange it into a statement that makes sense to you. Now that you have the vows in front of you, you can make changes and adjustments to make them your own.

Tips & Warnings

• When searching for vows, don’t try and find them in one sitting. Give yourself a break to avoid overanalyzing and come back later, with a fresh mind.
• Say the vows aloud. This will help immensely when trying to get a feel for them, and help to make the decision which vows sound the best to you.
• Don’t limit yourself to generic vows. Your future spouse will appreciate personal work put into the vows.
• Don’t take the vow word for word. Make some changes to personalize them, so you sound more sincere and less copyrighted.
