 HELPFUL
HINTS for Choosing or Writing
Your Wedding Ring Vows
As
you compose or choose your
marriage vows, whether they are
contemporary or classical, you
may want to consider the
following questions:
- How do you feel about the
unique relationship you have
with each other?
- What are your hopes and
dreams for the marriage?
- What words can be used to
express these thoughts?
- Which format do you prefer?
Monologue, dialogue, or
question and answer?
Your inscriptions should reflect
the deep emotional and spiritual
bond between the two of you and
the uniqueness of your own
special relationship, which is
like none other. |
