If you want to write your own vows to each other just think about what comes to you from your heart about how you feel with your relationship then write it down. Your A Beautiful Wedding in Florida Officiant will let you know where in the ceremony that you will say your vows to each other. If you don’t want to say your own vows, don’t worry, we have plenty of ceremony vows without a place for saying your own vows.

Saying your own personal vows can be very emotional.

Most of the ceremonies we officiate are non-religious civil ceremonies. But if you would like a religious ceremony just let us know! We can add religious text, a prayer or poem, or reading to any ceremony piece.  Maybe consider having a friend or relative do a bible reading during the ceremony?
