I could really use some advice...

I would like my fiance and I to write our own vows, but when I brought it up to him he seemed nervous and said he wasn't comfortable saying "all that personal stuff" in front of all of our families and friends. He really is a sweet and loving guy, and I know he can write something good because he's done it before. How can I convince him to write something without making him nervous? Should we try to make it funny, write the same things, or what? Please help :(

    Eh. I wouldn't push it if he's not comfortable. It was my idea to write our own and I came to him with it knowing that if he said no, I would drop it and do traditional ones. Luckily he said yes. If you really, really have to do them, I think suggesting writing them together is your best bet.

    Another option is to write each other a sweet letter and put it in a box with a bottle of wine and open it during a really rough spot in your relationship or open it on your first anniversary, or before you walk down the aisle.

    instead of making him uncomfortable by writing your own vows, why not use the traditional ones at the ceremony and then agree to exchange personal sentiments in cards/notes to each other to share on your honeymoon?
