Anyone NOT doing personalised vows?

We aren't I wouldn't be able to get thru them. The amount of crying would be out of control LOL

We aren't doing personal vows for a number of reasons, however since our friend got ordained specifically for the purpose of marrying us and isn't a practiced officiant, we will be writing our ceremony for the most part. So we are going to put together the vows we are going to recite lol. Not exactly personalized but technically you could say we're writing them :-)

We're not! We avoid major public displays of affection, and personal vows fall slam in the middle of that category to me. Way too personal. Way too uncomfortable. I definitely agree about it feeling a little voyeuristic when I hear other couples' personal vows, too.

I asked FH about this and he stated "I almost failed English." So that being said he doesn't wanna write vows. And I've never brought it up again. So no go for me also.

We found vows online that 'spoke' to us.

They weren't traditional vows but they also weren't super personal. I also cringe at the personal ones!

I love our vows and I think Im going to get them framed or printed on canvas at some stage.

Also to the people that are worried they will cry during their vows.... I couldn't get through mine before the wedding. I even practised out loud a few times with my bridesmaids and we all ended up bawling! But on the day was different. I was just so happy, it was easy.

We're not. We're having our vows in a catholic church....

We aren't. That's just another stress to worry about the day of and I like the tradition of the "traditional" vows.

I think we will be sticking to the traditional vows as well. i think there are enough "traditional" options that we will find something that fits us. i know i would cry like a baby if i tried to say my own so i don't want to risk having an ugly cry at the alter.

We aren't either but I'm picking out what the officiant says!

We're not. I don't have the time or patience to think of stuff to say then keep track of it until the day and read it. And I hate cell phone vows where they pull out their phone and read, but we're big no phones on dates type of people. Neither of us are romantic enough to come up with some elaborate vows, so tradition wins in this case. Besides, I love the vows my officiant uses as her standard and if I had to come up with my own it'd probably be similar since those are the vows I'm used to everyone saying.

I'm on the fence. Part of me wants to because it would be super sweet and meaningful, but the other part of me just wants to pick something short n sweet and get it done already lol. Plus FH is really not much of a words guy, I think he'd be more comfortable just reading something already set.

I'd guess about half of the couples we marry have personalized vows. Not everyone wants to get up in front of Grandpa, their boss and their next door neighbor and spill their emotional guts!

We're not doing TRADITIONAL traditional vows, as we're both agnostic. We're going to try and leave the worshipping bits out of things (or as they said in my MOH's wedding "submit and obey"), but we probably won't write personal vows as he's not much of a writer.

We are keeping it simple. Traditional for the win!
