Choosing And Creating Your Wedding Vows

The ceremonies I perform are not used as a platform to promote my personal beliefs but to assist you in celebrating yours! The vows we agree on are what are said at your ceremony. I am known for simple, uncomplicated ceremonies.

Looking through 1000’s of vows on the internet or writing your own can be frustrating. Ceremonies can last five minutes to thirty minutes depending on your style. Complicated ceremonies may be overwhelming for you and your guests. Let me help you choose the right one for you!

If you have a fear of repeating your vows or understanding the format, we will choose what you're comfortable with.

Songs, poems, music, sand ceremonies, unity candles, prayer, reading, include any children and much more can be added to your ceremony.

Creating your vows with the following tips may simplify the process. Most services proceed as follows: introduction, vows, ring exchange and ending. Most ceremonies will follow this tradtional format. However, if you'd like something different, please let me know and I can help you create your perfect vows. For those who do not have a preference, I can prepare standard vows for you. It's all up to you and your needs!

Provided below are some vow examples. Please visit our ceremony page for additional ideas and definitions.
