Tip of the Day: What makes a good vow? Keep in mind that at the heart of every vow is the idea that you're making a pact. The "agreement" should have these three features: a declaration of love ("Sam, my beloved, I fill my heart with you, to love you until the end of my days"); promises for your marriage ("I pledge to embrace both our similarities and our differences"); and personal touches ("Four years ago, I thought that men like you didn't exist").
Before you both begin writing, decide on the tone you want to set. Your words may be different, but the style should be more or less the same.
