Need Vow ideas for "Reunited Lost and Found Loves"

We dated and were engaged 33 years ago in 1978. We were truely in love but stupid, young and naive!!  We broke up back then over a misunderstanding someone else caused. Groom says, if we had cell phones back then it probably would never have happened! LOL! Anyway, I married someone else five years after our breakup bacj then and he's been married 3 times. We have 6 adult children between us. We ran into each other by chance 3 years ago and he proposed this past February. We knew right away it was always meant to be, and are sad how much we missed out on in those lost years, but are thankful for our kids, and that God helped us find each other again. Both of us are so ecstatic! We feel like we are in our 20's again! Please, if anyone has ideas for wedding vows that would fit our situation please post

    How incredably romantic!

    maybe referance a poem of long lost loves or watch a couple movies with that theme (ie the notebook) I'm sure that will get you in the spirit to write some amazing vows.

    Wow, what a story.  I'm glad after all of these years, you have found each other again!  I personally would be cautious on your vows -- there is a fine line between "we were always meant to be and I'm glad we are finally here" and "we were so naive 33 years ago and all these things happened that we missed out on but here we are".  Hopefully that makes sense...I wouldn't want to focus on what was missed or everything that happened in the gap.  I would, however, acknowledge how much you loved each other when you first met, and how you still love each other, and the wonderful lives you've built (eg, kids!).

    Thanks you so much! You are so right! I wouldn't want to offend our kids from previous marriages. You are great! You need to be a therapist if you're not already!

    Wow-Our stories are almost identical.  My fiance and I were first loves from 76-78.  We were young and don't even remember what caused the break up just that we both always carried a special place in our heart for the other.  We reconnected late March of 2011 and are looking forward to beginning our marriage on February 4, 2012.  We are also writing our vows...would love to hear tips on what you came up with. 
    Congratulations!  :)
