There are many ways to go about choosing or creating your wedding vows. Some couples (not as many as you'd think) do write their own... but more often they choose to use a vow that has already been written (there are dozens!) ... perhaps with a few tweaks here and there to make it more true to themselves or they may use the "mix and match" approach of combining parts of several vows to create one that's right for them.

Today I found this wonderful article by Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway, a Wedding Officiant and Author in the New City York Area... also known as The Wedding Goddess. Her article entitled "How To Write Your Own Wedding Vows" is a guest post at wedlok.com, a Las Vegas wedding blog. Check out Rev. Laurie Sue's website too, she is a prolific writer and also has great advice on relieving the stresses around the whole wedding-planning thing! Check out her book "Wedding Goddess: A Divine Guide to Transforming Wedding Stress into Wedding Bliss".
