I Vow! By: Blogger Bride Elizabeth


The past couples of weeks have flown by and now as I look at the calendar November is less than two months away. With the time getting shorter and my to do list getting longer, one important thing had yet to be done. My future hubby and I had yet to sit down and work on our ceremony and order of service. I have always felt that the ceremony was the most important part of the wedding for me. It’s the moment that you vow in front of GOD and your family and friends to take this person for all that they are, and that you will love them unconditionally. My fiancé and I finally sat down armed with a wedding ceremony book that our minister gave us to add our own personal details to our wedding ceremony. We sat down and planned together the greeting to the dismissal with blessing (smile) We were even able to sit down and pick out scriptures that are special to us as a couple. The best part was when we began to think about our wedding vows. We have decided to write our own vows. I am so excited and anxious to hear what we each have written to express our love for each other.


For the ceremony I want people to feel as though they have taken a sneak peek into our relationship. I want it to be intimate and romantic. I already know that I’m going to be a big water bucket. It is incredible to me to think about after six years of ups, downs, joys and pains. But, I will walk down the aisle only to arrive at the altar standing with my partner in life and in love. Everyone says that the moment will go by so fast. Above all else when we are in the church in front of our family and friends I want to live in the moment. I want to soak up all the love that I can stand. Oooo wee I am getting all misty eyed and emotional just thinking about it. You know, that is what it is all about that moment when you are standing there pledging your love. It doesn’t get much better than that.
