65 Days

In order for our pastor, who is Rob's childhood pastor, to marry us, we needed to have five (or more) sessions with him where we talk about marriage and look over scripture. In doing this, we have had to come to some decisions together. In our very first meeting, Pastor H asked us to consider if we wanted to do traditional vows or write our own.

We had never talked about vows before but we both want to say traditional vows. In talking about why we like the traditional vows, it came up that our parents, and grandparents have all said those exact vows. Both sets of our parents, and all four sets of our grandparents had happy, long, fulfilling marriages. We want to have that kind of love and support surrounding us on our day, so by saying the traditional vows, we feel that maybe a little of their love will inspire us! 

Are you and your fiance using traditional vows, or are you writing your own?
