Your wedding vows would reflect you. There are so many choices available. A “wedding vow” is a set of promises you and your groom make to each other during the wedding ceremony. The western culture usually includes notions of unselfishness in their wedding vows.
An officiant and witnesses have to be present when you say your vows. The groom is usually the first one to recite his vows, followed by his bride. The order can be changed; there is no law that sets the order in which the vows said. The bride and groom can also say their vows together. Usually the couple will face each other and join hands for their vows.
Most of the wedding officiants will let you customize your vows, just make sure to discuss it before the ceremony. If you are unsure about the wordage of your vows, ask your friends, family, and the officiant for some examples they’ve used in the past.
