What do people think of these wedding vows?

Question

i hand wrote these - feel free to leave comments or add more

(meant to be romantic and sweet)

There are hundreds of things I want but only one thing that I need – you

I have loved you from the first moment I laid eyes on you and have and always will love you for who you are, for what you give and for making me a better person than I thought I could be.

There are many things I love about you – I love your strength, your wisdom, your innocence and you’re still the most beautiful man I ever met.

You are my friend, my soul mate and lover and now officially my husband

I love you

Answer 1

They are very nice -- just as an observer, though - people might crack up when they hear his 'innocence'.

Also, I'd say he's the most handsome man, and/or the most beautiful soul....

Just one more - if it were me I wouldn't include 'lover'... but if it fits for you two and the grandparents wouldn't be shocked, it's okay...  I would say, my soulmate and my love, ...

Answer 2

they're lovely, i hope it all works out for u both

Answer 3

I like them... I wanted to do something very intimate like that at our wedding but my fiance is nervous enough about repeating anything in front of the group of guests, he said he's probably forget what he wanted to say if we did our own vows lol.

These are ours....

From this day on

I choose you to be my beloved soul mate,

to live with you and laugh with you;

to stand by your side and sleep in your arms;

to be joy to your heart and food to your soul;

to bring out the best in you always;

to be the best I can be, just for you;

to celebrate with you in the good times;

to struggle with you in the bad;

to solace you when you are down‑hearted;

to wipe your tears with my hands;

to care for you with my entire being;

to share with you everything that I have;

as we treat each other with tenderness, compassion and love.

I give you this ring to wear with love and joy.

EDIT

Cupcake's Princess brings up a great point! You could maybe say yours followed by the other 'vows' like she mentioned more like a 'contract' or how she put it.

Answer 4

Beautiful, I don't think that you could improve on that if you tried, those vows say it all. Every happiness to you and your husband.

Answer 5

It's sound like it comes from the heart. It's gorgeous. I think your wedding vows will be a success because, they sound like they are straight from your heart which I'm sure they are.

:)

Answer 6

I think the words, "You complete me" are nice, too.  But, overall, I think you summed it up very nicely.

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage.  I hope you'll both be as happy as the wonderful husband I just recently found and I have been.

I have a few words of advice about marriage:

Go into it with your eyes wide-open!  After that. . .keep them half-shut!  

'Cause there's no such thing as marrying perfection!

Good luck to you!

Answer 7

I would never use the word "lover" during the ceremony - my grandmother would have a heart attack!

Answer 8

i love the last one very much its very sweet. but you have to be true to yourself and your husbane to be, did you really love him from the first moment you met him? good luck xx

Answer 9

Those words represent a lovely sentiment, but they're not vows.  Vows are what you promise to give each other out of the marriage (traditional ones being to love, honor and respect, through good times and bad, etc.).  Your words say how you feel about your fiance now, but don't promise anything for the future.  You need to rework them so that they include what you promise him going forward.  

This isn't a trivial point--vows are a required part of the ceremony to make the marriage legal as they represent the "contract" you enter into with your spouse.

Answer 10

So very romantic lol ^^ Congratulations

I also changed mine especially the I obey lol

Answer 11

Vows cant change nature,priests are  only men/And love likes stratagem  and subterfuge
