expressing it in your own way...
Depending on your religion you might decide to forgo tradition and create your own wedding vows for your big day. There is no better way to begin your life together than to take the time to really let one another know how you feel.
If you do decide that you want to write your own vows meet with the officiant to discuss what you want to do. Certain vows must be kept in the ceremony in order for the wedding to be legal.
Think about what is truly important for you to express during the ceremony whether it be to each other, your family and friends or just your views on marriage overall. As time progresses many couples have begun to take offense to the wording in traditional wedding vows such as the word "obey". If you are offended by this term create a new phrase that reflects who you are as a couple. Perhaps, "love, respect and trust" fits into our life plan much better.
When you do personalize your wedding vows think about those things that are really important to you such as the meaning of marriage, why you are planning to spend your life together and how you will make this arrangement work for better or worse. Too many times nowadays couples don't realize that marriage is supposed to be a lasting bond of togetherness through the good and the bad times.
Many couples just don't feel comfortable with "until death do us part" anymore. How about something traditional, but less morbid like "as long as we both shall live."
