Just as you will give your own stamp to the wedding decoration, you can also individualize your wedding vows through love phrases that break with the traditional protocol promises. How to do it? You can write the same text or two different ones. The important thing is to be brief and express, in the most transparent way, why you decided to exchange wedding rings and thatmeans in their lives to take this important step.

1. Sentimental Vows

The story must be concise and precise, use keywords to summarize your story For example, mention the date you met, where you had your first kiss, or how you dealt with your most difficult moment. When it's time to sit down to write, help each other with questions how their lives have changed since they've been together, what made them fall in love with each other, or how much they're willing to trade for this relationship. No doubt about it, will make for some very romantic vows .

2. Votes with projections

Another way to word your pledges is reflecting on what they hope and wish for in the future They can allude, for example, to the new home where they will begin to build this life together, to the pet they plan to adopt, to the children they wish to have soon, or even sketch a portrait of how they imagine themselves in 40 more years The exchange of gold rings will be a much more emotional moment.

3. Playful votes

How about adding a touch of humour to their wedding vows? To do so, all you need to do is to incorporate some anecdote They can also tell each other about things that have happened to them, perhaps on a trip, or highlight those quirks of the other that make them unique, but that they wouldn't change for the world. For example, the special sense of humour of one or the inability to cook of the other. In addition, can use their nicknames to give the text a more informal tone.

On the other hand, in the Hollywood cinema you will find lots of inspiration There are movies with simply irresistible love dialogues. You can take some beautiful love phrases, or the whole text. Check out these examples:

  • "The Runaway Bride" (1999)

"I guarantee that we will have hard times and I guarantee that at some point one of us or both of us will want to give it all up. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I will regret it for the rest of my life because I know, deep in my heart, that you were made for me."

  • "The Corpse Bride" (2005)

"With this hand I will hold your longings; your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine; with this candle I will light your way in the darkness... With this ring I ask you to be my wife."

  • "Vows of love" (2012)

"I promise to love you passionately, in every way now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a lifelong love and to always know that, deep in my soul, no matter what may separate us, we will always find each other again."

5. Musical votes

If you like music, you can also go to romantic songs to personalize From Anglo artists to singers with beautiful lyrics in Spanish, what do you think of these?

  • "Rest of my life" - Bruno Mars

"As I stand here in front of my wife, I can't hold back the tears in my eyes. How could I have been so lucky? I must have done something good. And I promise to love her for the rest of my life."

  • "De rodillas" - Reik

"Let me get down on my knees for you Tell me you'll answer to an always together Give me tonight your hand I don't want to spend a day without you I want it to be in your arms that I see my days come at last Would you marry me? Spend a lifetime with me?"

  • "I will love you" - Miguel Bosé

"With the peace of the mountains, I will love you.With madness and balance, I will love you.With the rage of my years.As you taught me to be.With a cry in the flesh, I will love you.In silence and in secret, I will love you.Risking in the forbidden, I will love you.In the false and in the true, with an open heart.For being something not perfect, I will love you."

  • "All of me" - John Legend

"Because all of me, love all of you.Love your curves and your edges, all your perfect imperfections.Give me all of you and I'll give you all of me.You are my end and my beginning, even when I lose, I'm winning."

6. TV Votes

Television series also can be very inspiring and there are romantic scenes that are ideal for the exchange of silver rings. For example, the following scene from the series "How I meet your mother", which demonstrates that two different texts work perfectly well as well as both of them reading the same one.

Marshall Lily, there are a million reasons why I love you. You make me laugh and take care of me when I'm sick. You're sweet and caring, and you even created an egg dish and named it after me-he uses an Italian dressing on scrambled eggs before he cooks them, it's called "Eggs Marshall" and it's awesome-but the main reason I love you is that you're my best friend, Lily, you're the best friend.I've ever had.

Lily Marshall, I love you because you're funny and you make me feel loved and safe. And for our anniversary you gave me a sweatshirt that says "Lily and Marshall: Together since '96. I wish I was wearing it right now because it smells like you, but the main reason I love you, Marshall Ericksen, is that you make me happy. You make me happy all the time.

Just as many people keep as a souvenir the wedding dress, the boutonniere or the wedding glasses with which they made their first toast, it is also possible to immortalize the vows, for example, by writing them on a piece of paper that can later be framed or kept in the wedding album. It will be a touching detail to start decorating the new home together.
