"Can we write our own vows in a church wedding?"

Legally, no part of the wedding vows can be changed. However, some couples have created poems, prayers or songs dedicated to their partner as an expression of their devotion and included them at some point in the service. Your Vicar would be pleased to talk about how to blend your ideas in to those things properly required by law to produce something special and personal for you. 

For most couples, the vows are the main attraction of a church wedding. Read them here.  To plan your marriage service and see your names featured in the vows, try out our Ceremony Planner.
