Critique my vows!

GryffinBride, on June 6, 2016 at 7:19 PM Posted in Planning 0 31

Let me see what you all think of my vows. I know Celia isn't here to help, so I'm counting on you lovely ladies and gents. Here it is:

We meet many people during our lives. We shake their hands, introduce ourselves and move on our merry way. You were the only one that I crashed into, and I am forever grateful for that. You found me when I was broken, and helped me to rebuild my forever after. You were there for me when I needed to heal both my body and heart. You stood by me when I was lonely. Now we are here today, and I couldn’t be happier.

FH,

I vow to always be on your side, even through the worst storm. I know that I may not always be the easiest to deal with, but I promise to try each day to do better for you. I vow to always love you, even if it is difficult at times. And I promise to always consider letting you keep whatever animal you found on the street. I love you FH, from the bottom of my heart and I am so blessed to spend the rest of my life with you.

    Our engagement story:

    We literally crashed into each other. It was a snowstorm and I hit a slippery patch of ice. My car lost control and I ran into the back of FH’s truck. We exchanged phone numbers for the insurance info, but he called me the next day asking if I wanted to go on a date. Pretty sure the rest is history.

    I like it. No advice for you though. I am not good at this type of thing.

    That is a great background to the story. I love the "consider letting you keep whatever animal you found on the street" It brings personality to it.

    @OurAdventure- I had to add that one. So far he has brought home three cats he found on the street. We rehomed two of them, but kept the third. He's an animal lover.

    I love all the personality and devotion you have in it. I think that's so important when writing your own vows. Too many people just copy off of the internet. So I think yours is perfect. Smiley smile

    Thank you ladies. It took me a few hours to come up with these, so I hope that they will work. Hopefully I won't be crying too much!

    I LOVE IT! I love your backstory, that is awesome!!! These are beautifully written and well thought out. I wouldn't change a thing.

    We wrote ours last night. I found an idea on the internet and mostly plagiarized/used for inspiration haha. But I really searched high and low for what I wanted to copy and use for inspiration. We also both love to laugh, so we added a touch of humor in ours. We will "ping pong" our vows. Here are ours!

    James: I vow to love you

    Christine: I vow to love you

    J: To be your partner and fellow adventurer in all things

    C: To support and encourage you in all your goals and dreams

    J: To be your biggest fan

    C: To always stand up for you

    J: To always be kind

    C: To be there when you laugh, and when you cry

    J: To stand with you even when times are challenging

    C: To honor my commitment to you through life’s trials and tribulations

    J: To only watch basketball when the Clippers are playing

    C: And to console you whenever they lose

    J: To always walk the dog in the rain

    C: To not take the last towel from the bathroom without replenishing it

    J: To wake you every morning

    C: And to kiss you every night
