Writing your vows  Finding Poems: Libraries contain anthologies, such as Bartletts Quotations
where you can look up a word such as "love" or "marriage" or any other AND "poetry".
New Names: Consider if either of you are going to
take the other’s name. If you are, it is best to have your new names lettered under the line where you sign so you do not make errors when signing your name differently
than you have your entire life!! Include Blended Family Members: Have you considered the inclusion of step parents, foster parents, natural parents and even stepconcept and find
beautiful poetry or wording to include in your certificate. You also might try an internet search on "Marriage" children? One couple I know included his commitment to
love his stepchild as his own in the vows. Another couple included the child in the ceremony itself. One mother, however, remarked that naming three parents made it
sound like she was having a "menage a trois" with two men, so do be sure that you place the names carefully! Spelling: Please do a spell and grammar check of
your vows. Contact all of the relatives mentioned and be sure that you have spelled names carefully and also the way they wish to be named. Be sure that you are
consistent in your tenses. Consider if you wish to spell out the numbers in dates or use actual numbers. Other Details: Have you included the church,
city, county, state or landmark where you are to be married, if you wish? Sample Vows: I'll be happy to email you actual
samples of wedding vows if you need more ideas. |
