My FI and I have decided to both write our own vows and use the traditional ones as well. Our pastor loves this idea, which was a great relief for me. The way it will work is that I will say my vows that I wrote and then go right into the traditional ones that our pastor will give me one line at a time. Then FI will do the same.
So last night I was struck with inspiration by the muse of vows and came up with the follow vows:
Dan, you are my best friend, my biggest supporter, and the love my life.
Today I get to add my husband to that list.
So as I become your wife, there are some promises that I would like to make to you.
I promise NEVER to plan any major event during deer season...other that our aniversary.
I promise not to get mad at you for having too many Fantasy sports team or for watching too much ESPN
But more importantly,
I promise to be faithful and honest to you always.
I promise to love, comfort and support you forever.
I love you with all of my heart and am so blessed to have you in my life.
And I promise to remind you of that everyday for the rest of our lives.
I love you, always and forever.
FYI: FI is an avid hunter and sports fanatic. So the fact that our anniversary will fall 2 days before deer season starts and in the middle of football season is a BIG deal.
Also "Always and Forever" is something that FI and I have said to each for the last 3 years, so we are incorporating it into our wedding (vows, favors, programs, STD, etc.)
Please let me know what you think. Too long? Take out the humor? Opinions and advice, please!!!
Love and Blessings
