My fiance and I are getting married pretty soon and want to write our own vows. We don't really know where to start because we have so much to say. Anyone know of any websites or can give us any advice?

first, are you sure when the big day comes and the pews are packed full of people you know, that you won't choke up or be so nervous you can speak at all?
second, if so then just start a rough draft of the things you like about him, the things you hope you become, and just generally the way you feel about him and the reasons you want to be married to such a great guy.

Try to keep it short but sweet. I would start with a meaningful well worded expression of love and then mention some personal but also heartfelt things, examples Brad Pitt's promise to "split the difference on the thermostat" and Dave Navarro saying the he's never hear a coke can opening without thinking of Carmen. Both nice sentiments and heartwarming funny. You don't want to be so overwhelmed with emotion that you can't speak but you also don't want to be too funny either. Try to strike a balance between heartwarming and endearing and sappy. Best Wishes!!

Think of fav lyrics from songs or films. Throw in memories that mean something to you now or memories that you will create in the future. Say what love means to you and how your man fits that description. Put it all together to make a cheezy poem. You need the 'Arghh' factor with a few tears. Good luck.

I would sit down and think how this person made me feel and I would speak from the heart. You can never go wrong if you truly listen to what your heart tells you. And if it is a bit much what you have to say make it worth your while "It's your wedding day!!!"

I don't know any websites, but you should state in your vows that you will always treat each other right, and in times of hardship you will still try to talk thinks out, and never fight, just reword that, because in my words it looks kinda stupid.....

Check out this website. It seems pretty thorough on the subject. Best of luck!

a friend of mine wrote their own vows and they just wrote what came from their heart.

I love love songs, listen to the words to them.

Just think of the ways that you make each other feel.
