I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honouring you, being faithful to you, and sharing my life with you. This is my solemn vow.

I don’t know about you, but I would always go for a funny wedding vow. As long as you don’t hurt your new husband’s/wife's feelings, it will be great. 

• (Name), I am blessed that I have the most generous (woman/man) in the world, to have and cherish, for better lifestyle and extravagant vacations, from this day forward, until unpaid bills do us part.

• “I, (name), take you (name), to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, for even poorer when I’ve been shopping a lot, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”

• It's been two years since we first met, and one year since we fell in love. Today, as we start a whole new chapter of our life, I make a solemn vow to be ever-faithful to you, to be the guardian of your heart, to be the shoulder you cry on, to be your pillar of strength, to be your best friend, and most of all, to be your never ending fountain of love and support .
• 
  

How sweet it is really to be love by someone you want to share your whole life with. Vows are not meant to be spoken; ultimately it has to be done. Patience and understanding plus the will to forgive whenever mistakes are done, will make it possible. Let us keep the love alive every single day of our lives. Best wishes!

TOP 15 Ideas To personalise Your Wedding 

♥ Wedding Details  ♥

1. Think about what you love to do together and build that into your day. If you love to read, stack old hardback books on the tables to create mini-stands for your flowers, if you love chocolate {and who doesn't} how about sending out Willy Wonka inspired 'gold tickets' as your wedding invites? 

2. Turn the wedding day on its head. Instead of starting the day with the ceremony, have it in the evening before dinner. This way you get to greet all your guests, and you'll feel much more relaxed as you walk down the aisle. 
3. Put together 'welcome packs' for out of town guests, giving information on the area together with a little gift

4. If your guests will have to walk from the ceremony to the reception, consider providing them each with a single coloured helium filled balloon that matches your colour scheme. The vision of dozens of balloons all 'walking' their way through a country lane or a town centre (great way to make sure your guests don’t get lost!) is fantastic and makes for great photos. Once all of your guests have arrived at the reception, you could have someone ready to arrange them into two rows for you to walk through and as you reach each guest, they release the balloon into the sky, again fantastic for your photo album!

5. Set up a craft area where guests can make something to take home

6. Choose a signature cocktail and give it a memorable name. 

7. If you're having a Christmas wedding, ask each of your guests to bring a bauble for a Christmas tree. You'll use them on your tree every year, and it'll be a fantastic annual reminder of your wedding.

8. Consider alternatives to the traditional wedding car. Many of my brides this summer have opted to walk to the venue when staying locally in the town. For those not so keen to risk the great British weather, I have had brides arrive in an array of vehicles from vintage Minis to a brand new Range Rover, thanks to a kind and generous friend/family member who was happy to act as chauffeur. 

9. Arrange family wedding photos, going back as far as you can, in vintage frames and display them at your ceremony or reception - it will provide a talking point for guests and create a lovely decorative feature. 

10. Ask your guests to circle words in a dictionary to remind you of their wedding day. Then ask them to write a message on a bookmark to explain why they picked each word. You'll always need a dictionary in your home, and you'll cherish this one forever

11. Rather than getting your guests to sign a traditional guest book, you could get them all to sign some pottery such as a large platter. This will give you a lovely and unusual keepsake of your day which you can display in your home afterwards. 

12. Tuck handwritten notes into the napkins for your guests - write about your favourite memory together or simply tell them what they mean to you.

13. What is your favourite book or film? Could it work as the basis of a wedding theme? I've seen fantastic weddings themed around the film 'Up' and 'Alice in Wonderland'. We themed our wedding around The Secret Garden.

14. Instead of a traditional guest book, you could leave a card and pen at everyone’s place setting, with each one having a different sentence to complete such as, love is…, top tips for a happy marriage, or asking them to jot down a favourite memory of you both.

15. Include your pets in your big day, either in person {doggy ring bearer?}, or as a motif on your menus? You could give dog-shaped chocolate wedding favours, or name your wedding tables after your pets.

♥ Wedding Entertainment ♥

16. If you need a performer or an artist, why not call upon your local drama academy or art school. They will be much cheaper and they will so appreciate the opportunity. 

17. If you want to have some unique touches at your wedding, allocate some money in your budget for it. There are a lot of things you could have, but do you really need a chocolate fountain, ice cream tricycle, caricaturist, magician, candy bar, fireworks and a photo booth? Just pick one! 

18. To help break the ice at dinner, why not have your Best Man host a quiz about you both? Each table would work together as a team, and you could offer a prize for the winner. 

19. Make the arrival of the wedding cake an event, by asking your caterers to turn down the lights and bring it in decorated with indoor fireworks. At our wedding, we even asked the DJ to play 'Eye of the Tiger'!

20. Set up a guest booth with personalised props and/or boards for your guests to write messages to you on.
21. Instead of a DJ, get all your guests to choose 3 or 4 'floor fillers' that they love and collate them into an iPod playlist. That way you can have purely music you love, and know everyone will enjoy. 

22. To help introduce guests to one another and add an element of cheeky fun, write a short but funny 'one liner' about each guest on the back of their place card. People will then ask what their 'one liner' means and it works brilliantly at breaking the ice. Alternatively, if you have a group of friends on one table, they’ll all understand the little jokes and it really gets the atmosphere going.

♥ Wedding Food ♥

23. Maximise your wedding cake by incorporating this into your wedding breakfast and serve as dessert. If your venue is happy to allow this, you can save considerably per head. In addition to this, you could also ask the venue to 'dress' the plates so the cake is served with fresh berries and cream at a fraction of the standard dessert price. Cupcakes also work well for this option too!

24. Consider having your speeches during your drinks reception when the champagne or prosecco is flowing, this has the double benefit of helping your wedding party to relax for the rest of the day, and means that you can save on an additional glass of bubbly during your wedding breakfast. 

25. Rather than having a traditional wedding cake you could decide to serve chocolates and your favourite drink as a night cap later on in the evening. You could also set up a tasting bar for guests to sample different varieties.

26. Dessert tables are a hugely popular trend right now. If your budget won’t stretch to having yours professionally catered, why not ask 4 or 5 friends who are handy in the kitchen to bake some goodies as your wedding present. You can then put your own DIY decoration skills to use to create a stunning – and much more personal – display.

27. Cocktails are actually cheaper than straight champagne. So choose a Bellini as your signature cocktail, and mix it with prosecco. No one will ever know the difference.

Most Romantic Wedding Locations

Wondering where to plan your special day? From an intimate inn in upstate New York, to a chateau in France, and a museum in San Francisco, here are my picks the most romantic wedding destinations in the world. If you're considering a destination wedding, these spots are breathtakingly beautiful.

1. Legion of Honor, San Francisco

With breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the city of San Francisco, and the Bay, as well as remarkable art and architecture, the Palace of the Legion of Honor is an amazing place to get married. Every time I am here, whether for a wedding or just contemplation, I am dumbfounded by the natural beauty around me.

2. Central Park, New York

Beautiful in any season, New York's Central Park is filled with flowers, fountains, formal gardens, and intimate grottos, all in the heart of a bustling city.

3. Columbia George Hotel

Situated in Oregon between the Hood and Columbia Rivers atop a 208 foot waterfall, this country hotel features amazing scenery, excellent food, comfortable accommodations and charming hospitality.

4. Sudbury MA

For an intimate wedding, this historic inn is an idyllic spot. With a charming clapboard chapel, antique 

5.Chicago

Considered to be among the top botanical gardens in the country, Chicago's botanic gardens have many options for a romantic wedding. The spot that launches this one into my top ten is the Rose Terrace. As your guests enjoy themselves on this intimate outside terrace, the fragrance of the flowers will waft up from the adjacent gardens.

6. Le Chateu, France

This charming estate is located just 45 minutes outside of Paris and not far from Versailles. The château is set on a enchanted lake, amid a 150 acre estate where your guests can fish, hike, ride horses, and more.

7. Wave Hill New York

This historic estate has breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades. Have your wedding in the gardens, then move to cocktails on the terrace, and dinner and dancing in the Armor Room with its vaulted ceiling and cathedral windows.

8. Scotland, Forte Hill

There's a reason that celebrities such as Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Pierce Brosnan have gotten married in castles- you can't help but feel like a princess. This is my favorite of the Scottish castles. When she spent a week at Inverlochy in 1873, Queen Victoria wrote "I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot." Situated on the glens and lochs of West Highland Scotland, enjoy period decor, gourmet cuisine, and more.

Wedding Vows: Muslim Wedding Vows

Muslim couples do not generally recite vows but rather listen to the words of the imam, or cleric (although any adult male Muslim may officiate), who speaks about the significance of the commitment of the marriage and the couple's responsibilities toward each other and Allah. The bride and groom are asked three times if they accept each other in marriage according to the terms of their traditional marriage contract, or Nikah. Then they sign, the marriage is sealed, and the gathered congregation may bless them.

However, some Muslim brides and grooms do choose to also exchange vows. Here is a common (quite traditional) recitation:

Bride: "I, ______, offer you myself in marriage and in accordance with the instructions of the Holy Koran and the Holy Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him. I pledge, in honesty and with sincerity, to be for you an obedient and faithful wife."

Groom: "I pledge, in honesty and sincerity, to be for you a faithful and helpful husband.
