Writing your own wedding vows is becoming a more popular thing to do. So, how do you ensure that your wedding vows will be special? These five simple tips will enable you to not only make your vows one of a kind, but to also make sure that you have them done in time for your wedding.
1. Set a Goal
Decide when you want to have your wedding vows finished by, and give yourself an incentive to get them done. You would think that the fact that your wedding day is quickly approaching would be enough to motivate you to finish your vows, but it often isn't. We all respond well to rewards, so decide that you will treat yourself to something if you have your wedding vows finished by your goal date. Besides, vows that are rushed and unprepared are far from special.
2. Make a List
Start your vows by making a list of the things that you love most about your partner. It could be the way that she cries at sappy old movies, or the face that he makes when he wants to laugh at something you have done but is trying not to. Regardless of what it is that you love, you need to write it down. This will give you ideas that can help you write a more structured set of wedding vows later on. By taking plenty of time to plan your vows and consider your relationship, your vows will most certainly be special.
3. Talk to Friends and Family
Often, friends and family members will see things about your relationship that you do not notice yourself. Most of the time, these things have to do with the way you treat one another or how happy you appear to be. Ask your friends and family members' opinions about what they think is special about your relationship, and incorporate that into your wedding vows. This will not only make your vows more personal, but it will make your loved ones feel special that you included their opinions in your wedding.
4. Include a Special Touch
Everyone has a place, movie, or other favorite thing that the love. Include a line of your partner's favorite movie, or make a reference to their favorite place or sports team in your wedding vows. Depending on how you do this, it could not only make the vows more special, but it could deliver a laugh to lighten the mood as well.
5. Deliver Your Vows in a Certain Way
One of the most important ways to make your wedding vows special is to deliver them in a special way. The first step to doing this is to memorize them. This is a statement of how much you love your partner, and you don't want to be sweating over a tiny piece of paper during the wedding. For a unique twist, try reciting them to the tune of "your" song, or make them similar to your partner's favorite poem.
There are many ways to make sure that your wedding vows are special. If you follow the tips listed above, you will be able to provide a special memory on your treasured day.
