Host: Where can we get ideas to write our own wedding vows?

Bill Cochran: You have already done some of the work in the vow date of getting some ideas, but even before the vow date, it's important I believe to go to different resources. Of course, you can go online and you can find a lot of different places that will help you with vows that other people have written.

Your wedding officiant should provide you with some ideas on vows and I often tell couples, you know maybe want to prejudice a little from here and little there and pull this altogether and call that yours and through all of that your heart is just going to kind of come through as to how you feel about each other.

So, there is a lot of different places to find resources, ask, search the internet, look in books, you will find those and they really will give you some good ideas on which direction -- how you want to go, in which direction you want your vows to go as you prepare to write them.
