return of friday hax chat q: they are getting married in two months. want to write their own vows but also keep them a surprise for the ceremony

Posted by col. kurtz (aka chris) Jan 7 '11, 10:26

Houston, TX: A lighthearted question for a dreary time of year. I am getting married in two months, and my fiance and I have decided to write our own vows. He wants them to be a surprise. I am no poet. Are there any good ways to ensure the vows are compatible, without ruining for him, the importance of the emotional moment? Thanks!
