Writing your own wedding vows can be fun but also feel a little bit like you’re back in school. First off, you’ll need to sit down distraction free, and ask yourself a few questions:

What did you dream for in a fiancé as a little girl?
Did that dream become reality? Why or why not?
When was the moment you knew you would marry your fiancé?
What dreams do you have for the future?
What is most important to you for your marriage?
What is your best memory thus far of your fiancé?
What do you want to promise your spouse during your marriage?
Are there any quotes or Bible verses you’d like to use?

You’ll also need to make sure that your officient and partner are on the same page and agree that you may write your own vows. After you answer these questions and obtain permission to proceed, try putting the answers together.

If you find that doesn’t work, try personalizing the traditional vows with more suitable wording specific to your relationship. Or perhaps you can find a poem that better encompasses the vows you want to write.

Thoroughly research your ideas online. Once you’re finished, allow someone close to you, such as a parent or sibling, to read what you’ve written and critique it. Occasionally, when you look at the same piece of work for awhile, your mind will insert missing words or phrases. Make sure someone else reads it to catch those mistakes.

If you want to embrace your humorous side, and all parties are in agreement, try writing vows that still get your message across but makes your audience smile. The internet is full of suggestions, and if you’re having trouble coming up with something on your own, try taking an idea you like and making it your own.

After you have proofed your vows, and the minister is okay with the content, you must practice. The last thing you want to do is stand in front of your spouse and the entire audience and forget your vows. Say your vows over and over again until you can say them without thinking. Practice in front of the mirror, on your way to work, as you drive to the dry cleaners, or whenever you have a moment alone. Give yourself plenty of time to learn the vows, too. Don’t scramble a few days before the wedding to learn them. If this is the case, you might want to consider writing them down and carrying them with you to the ceremony.

Please help our readers write their own vows. What kind of Vows did you write?

Has your future mother-in-law approached you about what you want her to wear to your wedding? What about your own mother? Do you have a step-mother or even your fiancé‘s mother and step-mother coming to your wedding? It’s hard enough to choose your own wedding dress, but to be stuck having to help up to four women at the same time, too?

Obviously, not every mother will ask, but they do usually want an idea of what color or style you have envisioned. It’s also important for each mother to coordinate. There will be pictures taken of them together and the last thing you want is for their dresses to clash and draw attention away from yourself and the groom, the whole reason they bought those fancy dresses.

It’s common knowledge that mother’s should all stay away from a white or ecru ensemble. These colors can make it look like the mother of the bride or groom is trying to rival the bride.

Do consider the colors. Often mother’s will wear similar colors that are featured in your floral arrangements or accents that your bridesmaid’s wear. For example, if your colors are sage green and rose petal pink, one mother could wear green and the other pink.

As for the style of the dress, it might make for good bonding time for you to accompany each mother and help her choose what to wear. You can also help her pick out her shoes and accessories.

There are no solid rules or etiquette on what mother’s of the bride and groom should wear during the wedding ceremony. Some mothers might prefer to pick out their own attire, just make sure to lay the ground rules first. If you want them to coordinate, tell them they must work together on colors. If you are more laid back and don’t mind what they wear, try throwing out some ideas for them to spark their imagination.

When it comes to accessories and shoes, it depends on the dress being worn. A simple dress can be spruced up with more elaborate jewelry or shoes. The opposite is true for more elaborate dresses. Simpler jewelry and shoes with a fancier dress can go a long way to pull off a nice look.

Whatever the mothers during your wedding choose to wear, try to remember the big picture – to get married. Don’t get bogged down with the tiny details. If you have expectations simply make them known and relax as everything falls into place.
