    You have a lot of flexibility on that, given that you will already be legally married.  Our ceremony was Jewish, and we didn't change all that much besides the pronouns.  (Actually, changing the pronouns in Hebrew was kind of a challenge.)  If you are having a religious ceremony, you could start with the usual ceremony for that religion, and just tweak it to fix the genders.  If you are having a secular ceremony, you could Google "secular wedding ceremony" and go from there.

    We are getting married in a church and will use the traditional vows and just sub pronouns as needed.

    Just look for a JOP or secular ceremony online and customize it to you ladies. Or work with your officiant, if they're a pro at this I'm sure they can help.

    We are not religious per se and we were not married by a religious person. Our vows were, however, spiritual and deeply meaningful for us. I found a great deal of inspiration from the texts that can be found at Modern Ketubah and New Ketubah.
