would you write your own vows?
If so what do you think they should be like?
I seen lots of weddings on the tv where people have written thier own vows, only to me they dont sound like vows at all, but more like a description of each other.
An example
since i first met you you have makde me so happy,
you are kind gentls caring loveing etc
to me a vow should be just that, something you VOW to do or not do, not a DESCRIPTION of someone
a vow should be more like
i vow to love you for a lifetime, to care for you and be there for you for life....
if you can see the difference and understnad what I mean?

Yeah, I do get what you mean and I've actually noticed that before on tv shows and movies when couples read vows. I would love to write my own for when I get married but I'm just not sure how to go about doing it. But I guess you gave a good start when you said it should be something you vow to do

I plan to write my own, there arent any really for a civil partnership.
I plan to just write like that what i VOW to do or not to do.
It doesnt take long to write your own, just say things like i vow to love you, cherish you, be there for you...things like that

That's a really good idea though. I never knew what you were supposed to say when you write your own. Thanks for the tips, I might actually be able to write my own when the time comes eventually

I think the meaning of the word vow has changed a bit. I don't mind the descriptive vows either. I would actually write my own, because the pre-written ones are usually overused, cliché and sometimes even over-religious, and I'm not religious. But it would be elegant, not something over-the-top or forcedly funny.

I dont personally like the type where people make jokes in them, a little humour maybe is ok, but in my mind it is a serious commitment so i feel i should be serious in it.
I am writing my own vows.
