And a lot like redecorating a room or deciding to re-do your own roots, wedding vows seem like an AMAZING idea. Until you actually make that first attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Then it turns into a living nightmare! No, you\u2019re not the first person to assume that you\u2019re love is so unique that it could transcend all other vows created before it.<\/p>\n<p>To save you from stealing the monologue of Notting Hill, here are some top tips to coming up with your own vows.<\/p>\n<h2>Know your Audience<\/h2>\n<p>You might think adding the word YOLO into your vows is genius but we\u2019d bet good money that Aunty Eileen won\u2019t have a notion as to what you\u2019re on about. Instead, as you are writing, put your mind in the guest\u2019s who will be listening to your speech and think about how they will hear it.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Clich\u00e9s\u2026 If You Have To<\/h2>\n<p>Is he \u2018your best friend\u2019?

Sometimes clich\u00e9s are there for a reason and can help you get started in where you want to finish up with your vows. Just don\u2019t make it sound like you\u2019ve been forced to watch endless amounts of soppy romantic movies in one sitting.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Some Feedback From Someone Who Has Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Got a friend who is constantly making public speeches? Maybe you know someone who has written some amazing vows. Either way, get someone you trust to shed some light and give your feedback. You never know, they may see something you\u2019ve missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We all have good intentions when we begin a new task.
