    Oh there a bazillion out there. For the top of my invitation I used "Some people have to close their eyes to dream, with you I only have to open mine." I though it was perfect and would work great for your vows too.

    Here are some more...

    Here are some interesting ones, but try looking up "wedding quotes" online.

    The enthusiasm of a woman's love is even beyond the biographer's.

    Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

    A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

    JANE AUSTEN, Pride and Prejudice

    Is marriage much ado about nothing - or something much to do about everything?

    Unknown

    "There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage."

    Martin Luther, 1483 - 1546 Ibid.353

    "A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude."

    Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875 - 1926 Letters, translated by Jane Barnard Greene and M. D. Herter

    I would go to the library and check out some books on wedding vows. I think that will give you some ideas.

    That's what I did. I read through lots of vows to get ideas of what I wanted to include. I used some phrases directly from some of the vows if I liked them and wrote some of my own.

    It takes a lot of time to write your own vows but it is worth the effort. In my opinion, it is the most important part of the wedding and is so often overlooked.

    Some of my favs:

    I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,

    A church filled with family and friends.

    I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,

    He said one that would make me his wife.

    The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

    There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

    Something by Maya Angelou....

    by Dr. Maya Angelou

    The sun has come.

    The mist has gone.

    We see in the distance...

    our long way home.

    I was always yours to have.

    You were always mine.

    We have loved each other in and out of time.

    When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun

    and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor

    I had always loved you more.

    You freed your braids...

    gave your hair to the breeze.

    It hummed like a hive of honey bees.

    I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....

    Mmmm...God how I love your hair.

    You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.

    Lost, injured, hurt by chance.

    I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....

    Trying to change our nightmares to dreams...

    The sun has come.

    The mist has gone.

    We see in the distance our long way home.

    I was always yours to have.

    You were always mine.

    We have loved each other in and out

    in and out

    in and out

    of time.

    This day I will marry my friend,

    the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, and love.

    Love is patient, love is kind.

    It does not envy, it does not boast,

    It is not proud.

    It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,

    It is not easily angered,

    It keeps no record of wrongs.

    Love does not delight in evil

    But rejoices with the truth.

    It always protects, always trusts,

    Always hopes, always perseveres.

    "Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again. I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my life with you, caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you in all life has in store for us, and I vow to be true and faithful for as long as we both shall live."

    I promise to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

    cant go wrong with this.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away
