Did you know that wedding vows are more important to a wedding than the photography, cake and catering combined? The little words that marry you give meaning to everything else that happens during that day, and the promises that you make to each other during the ceremony set the parameters for your marriage.
So how do you find the wedding vows that are right for you? I recommend reading lots of them and seeing what feels right. Some religions will insist that you use canonical wording, but may allow you to also say personal vows. Even if your religion doesn’t require it, combining classic and non-traditional wedding vows can be a way of honoring tradition, while personalizing your ceremony.
