To have a religious wedding is what most people want and if you are catholic the wedding ceremony must be done in a certain way and is very formal.
It is not common for Catholic Church to allow vows that have been written by the bride and groom, but if you can write them in a catholic manner, you might be able to.
Here are some tips for writing catholic wedding vows.
1.
Follow the gist of the traditional vows.
Use them as a template and then change a few things that you don't like or that are outdated.
Make them slightly more modern but still follow tradition.
2.
Make the length shorter.
Sometimes the vows for catholic services can be very long so one way of writing them is to edit the sentences and vows to make it shorter and simpler.
3.
You can also edit the vows to leave out some parts that are not very necessary or relevant to you as a couple.
You can discuss this will your priest and he will let you know if this is ok.
Ask him what you can say instead of certain phrases if you have to leave something in.
4.
Writing catholic vows is not really different from other vows - it is just that they have to be very religiously based and proper.
You can still do this and write your own vows.
Find some templates that you like online and then add in the religious parts that you need.
Show this to your priest as well.
5.
Catholic wedding vows are all about how God will bless your marriage and how you will love and honor each other in His name.
If you understand the concepts and religious aspects involved, then writing the vows should not be very hard.
