Butterfly Kisses
“Where has the time gone?” I mumbled to myself. “Just when I think I am organized, something unexpected pops up and that does away with my schedule.” Telephone calls, unending questions from my son, and 'honey dos' were just a few interruptions of...
Don't Get Burned
Many burns occur in the household. Accidents such as these may be prevented if we are more careful in our placement of items that could cause potential harm.
Burns can result from tragic accidents involving fire, electricity, chemicals,...
Reclaiming her identity: a mother’s Diary
After giving up my profession to become a wife, a mother of one, then suddenly seven made life very taxing for me. I soon came face to face with a challenging question. How did my identity become so obscure that I lost track of my hopes and dreams?...
Unconditional Love
I study of God's command to love one another.
Everyone wants to have a special someone that they can love, and be loved by in return. However, OUR(human) love is usually based on conditions; I will love them if they love me; If they do nice...
Writer's Block
Eighteen months into my daughter’s life, I sat down to write. About something. Anything. Two years ago, I had considered myself a writer. I knew that having a baby would mean less time to write; I anticipated tired bones dragging an aching body to...

Get Help Writing Your Wedding Vows
Writing your Wedding Vows is not easy. But it is one of the most
precious gifts you will ever give each other so it is worth
every bit of effort that you put into it. You don't need to be
Shakespeare or Keats to write loving vows that have a soul.
Simply speak from your heart and try to verbalize your feelings.
The rest will happen naturally.
Writing your Vows is not a random process where you simply
ramble words from the top of your head. There is a process to
writing wedding vows. In fact you can even buy wedding vow
toolkits to help take you through the process. From writing out
your feelings, making promises, deciding on the various forms of
address like husband, spouse, loved one, life partner and even
the language you will all go towards making your own, unique set
of vows.
If you find yourself incapable of giving expression to your
feelings, then the best route to take is to buy a book or ebook
on wedding and marriage vows. Some people feel that this shows a
lack of commitment and respect for the ceremony. However, that
is not really true! You would not expect a non-artist to paint
his woman's face to prove how much he loves her and neither
would you expect a tone-deaf lover to serenade his bride. So why
expect someone who lacks the creative skills of a poet, to write
poetry?
Also, it would be unfair that just because you do not have great
poetic or journalistic abilities your vows should be mediocre.
Wedding vows are a promise
you make to each other. Just as you
want the best for your marriage, so should you for the wedding
vows. And it's perfectly ok to borrow from the experts.
The best thing to do if you cannot write your own vows is to
invest in some good handbooks that provide you with some witty
vows, a few beautiful poems that you can incorporate into your
vows and some evocative verses as well. Once you have these, you
can choose the vows you like best and add a few more things you
may want to say. Not only will you personalize the wedding vows
but also they will come straight from the heart.
One important thing to remember is that irrespective of whether
you write your wedding vows yourself or get outside help, you
will need to practice them. You don't want to end up with a
whole page of beautifully written vows - that you forgot during
the ceremony! So once you have your wedding vows ready practice
saying them over and over - in front of the mirror and in front
of an audience. Sometimes, the way you speak your wedding vows
can make all the difference!
