Re: CPW: Vows

  • We're Catholic, and they don't give you options.  I don't think I would have written my own, anyway; I wanted to say the words the way I'd always heard and imagined them, if that makes sense...

  • We did both, I guess.  We wrote "vows" that were more like messages to each other than the traditional format.  My DH actually had no desire whatsoever to write his own vows, but the rabbi made him do so, and they turned out really sweet in the end.  

    And then we also said traditional vows at some point.

  • Traditional but we memorized them and said them to each other - we did not repeat after the priest.
    BFP #1, 12/22/09 - DD#1 born 9/2010
    BFP #2, 12/12/11, m/c 12/25/11
    BFP #3, 3/09/12, CP 3/10/12
    BFP #4, 7/22/12, DD#2 born 4/2013
     

  • We used traditional vows. Partly bc I am just not creative or romantic enough to do my own and partly because I think the traditional vows cover it all anyway!

  • We wrote our own vows. We are not religious in any way. Dh vowed he would always give me the recliner when I want to watch the tv and that he would bring me our cat when I am sad.

  • Ours were traditional except for like the death do us part, I believe ours was for all eternity. It makes me sick to think after we die if there is after life that we would be parted at death.

    We used the traditional ones for this reason. I was afraid anything I would write would sound dumb.
