Vows To Live By - Mike & Kevin
As we start to wind down from the 2009 wedding season and archive the many events that we were a part of, we are going post some highlights from this past year. We start off with some of the best vows we have ever heard.
One of the things Susy and I love about our job is being able to experience many different cultures and beliefs. In 2009 we filmed our first commitment ceremony. The whole day was pretty amazing. Everything from the decor to the party were perfectly planned. But Mike and Kevin really outdid themselves when it came to their vows.

Writing your own vows is a great way to bring another personal touch into your wedding but only if you want to spend the time to do so. There is great article on about.com about writing your own vows. They suggest you answer these questions.
- What is the single greatest thing about the person you are going to marry?
- When did you know that you were in love/ know that this person was the one you wanted to marry?
- What does marriage mean to you? Why do you want to be a married person?
- What will change about your relationship once you are married? What will stay the same?
- What is your most favorite memory of your partner?
- When you were little, did you dream of your wedding day or your future spouse? How does that vision match up (or not) with your sweetheart?
The main thing is to be sure your partner is on board with the idea. We have seen a few occasions where the bride has had pages and pages of notes while the groom's vows are the equivalent of "I think you are really neat." It was still sweet but if both of you are not totally committed to the idea it may be better to stick to the traditional "I Do's".
