Incorporate these samples into the original words you write or simply use them as a jumping-off point. Once you\u2019ve found a few you love, consider what it is about the style that draws you to those vows in particular.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">2. Agree on format and tone with your fianc\u00e9.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Decide how you want your vows to come across. Do you envision them as humorous? Poetic and romantic? Go over the logistics too. Will you write them separately or together? Will they be completely different or will you make the same promises to each other as you would with traditional vows? Some couples do a little of each. Finally, will you share them with each other or keep them a secret until the wedding day?<\/p>\n<div\n        class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          combination-animation-none\n          individual-animation-none\n          individual-text-animation-none\n        \"\n        data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"\n    ><\/p>\n<figure\n            class=\"\n              sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\n            \"\n            style=\"max-width:1200px;\"\n        ><\/p>\n<div\n              \n              \n              class=\"image-block-wrapper\"\n              data-animation-role=\"image\"\n              \n  \n\n          ><\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element\n              \n          \n        \n              has-aspect-ratio\n            \" style=\"\n                position: relative;\n                \n                  padding-bottom:133.33334350585938%;\n                \n                \n  overflow: hidden;\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n\n              \"\n              ><br \/>\n              <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5b2020b85b409bc0e530295a\/1592836371546-LWTYFBEZ4ZSARL3BFF4W\/tips+for+writing+your+own+vows\" alt=\"tips for writing your own vows\" \/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5b2020b85b409bc0e530295a\/1592836371546-LWTYFBEZ4ZSARL3BFF4W\/tips+for+writing+your+own+vows\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5b2020b85b409bc0e530295a\/1592836371546-LWTYFBEZ4ZSARL3BFF4W\/tips+for+writing+your+own+vows\" data-image-dimensions=\"1200x1600\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"tips for writing your own vows\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5ef0c1125296c85eedb63016\" data-type=\"image\" \/>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">3.
