Considering your vows
Prose and public speaking isn't for all of us, and prompted vows are the perfect compromise for everyone.
Here are some vow selections to get you started. You can add, edit, or completely create your own - there's nothing set in stone, no playbook - so it's up to you and your style and vision for your wedding vows.
Prompted VowExchange Ideas
Deborah, I will honor, respect, and love you.
I will support and help you in times of pain and sorrow.
I will be present in the difficult and challenging times.
I will share with your laughter and joy,
I will strive to look for the positive in you, especially when you can’t see it.
I will try my best to bring peace and harmony into our days and communication.
When I falter, I will try to have to courage remember these vows
and step towards you with an open heart.

Loving who you are now
And who you are yet to become.
