Borrowing Vows

ARBrereton

If I found a set of vows online that I fell in love with, can I use them in my wedding?  The only thing I see as a problem is that they were on someone's website (I don't know them) and they seemed somewhat personal.  But they are incredibly poetic, romantic and sincere.  Any thoughts??

Of course you can use them. I think most people that write their own vows or ceremonies "borrow" liberally from others. At my first wedding, we wrote our entire ceremony, but we certainly cherry picked from ones we liked that found online.

I say go for it, most people 'borrowed' their vows from the common book of prayer for hundreds of years
