Writing Your Wedding Vows | Outdoor Wedding Venues Dallas

Paradise Cove provides luxury outdoor wedding venues in Dallas surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds and sparkling Lake Grapevine. We only schedule one event per day, in order to focus our services and attention on one event at a time. The following can provide assistance in writing your wedding vows for a memorable wedding ceremony.

In today’s weddings, couples often prefer to write their own vows for a personalized ceremony. Speaking from the heart and telling your story as a couple guarantees guests will focus on the ceremony. Begin composing your vows at least one to two months before the scheduled wedding.

Declaring Your Love

Consider how you fell in love, what you admire about your fiancé, the milestones in your romance, and the hopes and dreams of a bright future together as a couple. The goal is to have wedding vows meaningful to you both.

For example, “David, you are the one I want to spend my life with. Your kindness and compassion inspire me; your humor makes me laugh and lifts me up.” To add a bit of humor, you could add to it, “and you cook the best macaroni and cheese ever.”

Reflecting on why you have chosen to marry this man or woman, and what you love most about them, will form the basis of the vows.

The Promises

Think deeply about what you will bring to the relationship. For example, “I promise to stand by your side, to respect you as an equal, and to do everything I can to make you happy.”

Consider the dreams, and the life the two of you have planned. “I will provide a happy home and a loving family, for you and our children to come.”

Tradition

Now that your emotions and inspiration are on paper, consider traditional vows to incorporate. Couples often substitute the somber “‘til death do us part” with “for all the days of my life”, or “for as long as we both shall live,” and “as long as love shall live,” for example.

The Ring Vows

After the recital of the marriage vows, the exchange of wedding bands declares the sealing of the union. The “ring vows” are short, typically one or two sentences. “With this ring, I thee wed” is universally recognized, though couples often select other messages: “With this ring comes the symbol of infinity and our love, a circle unbroken joined together as one, forever,” for instance. Remember, this will provide the line signaling the best man it is time for the exchange of rings.

Vow Rehearsal

Rehearse your wedding vows a few days prior to the actual wedding in Paradise Cove’s outdoor wedding venues in Dallas. During the ceremony, speak slowly, and ensure eye contact to show your sincerity, love, and devotion and that you mean every single word.

Bring a Hard Copy

Even after memorizing your vows, have a copy in case you forget a phrase or need prompting.
