It’s easy to understand why people write their own wedding vows, it’s one of the most special ways to make your big day more unique. We always love hearing the romantic personal vows during ceremonies at the Canoe Club Ballroom. Having personalized vows can bring tears of joy to your guest’s eyes! Don't worry if you are not a poet, we have gathered up great ideas to start your wedding vows and have you put pen to paper! 

Start your vows one month before your wedding day, planning for the big day will be almost all done, and you can focus on your vows. You will want to start separately, schedule some alone time to write your wedding vows independently, before sharing them with your significant other. You’ll want to ask yourself questions when writing your vows, how did you two fall in love? What do you admire about your partner? How do you see your future for the two of you? Asking these questions will easily translate into wedding vows. Once you are done with your personal thoughts, look through books and poems that you love to read. Then you can add your favorites to your vows. Lastly, focus on what your marriage means to you? What are you saying yes to? Think to your future and what you want the future to be for the two of you.

Doors

Consider having  doors as a  backdrop to your ceremony as well as a backdrop to your sweetheart table at your recpetion. Doors are passageways, which mean they represent transition, just like the two of you becoming a married couple.

The caterpillars metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly is the perfect symbol for rebirth, you can incorporate  them into your special day very easily with favors, décor, even display them on your wedding program.
