DIY Wedding

Vow cards

Call me a thief but I couldn't resist the oh so cute idea of vow cards!

Originally this idea came from gorgeous6 then (Mrs.) sarahdarling in 1 day made a cute one for herself as well. I ran with the 2 ideas and with some much needed computer help from...Shannon...I dont know your username....I was able to get a fun damask to go on both sides. Im not bad with computers but I didnt have the right program for this so she generously did it for me!! Thank you sooo much. I think it turned out PERFECT!!

The vows will be written on the lighter side in our own handwriting, not to toot toot but we both have nice handwriting so I think it will look very personalized.

AND...if anyone is wondering what will be written on them...here ya go!! Steal away if it so tickles your tail feather.

My vows are from a book called "Bear of my Heart" by Margie Moore
Its the whole book actually...

There are many bears in the world, dear, but there’s no other one that will do.
You are the bear of my heart,dear, and I am the one who loves you.
I have so many stories to tell you. I know wonderful places to see.
And because we can see them together, they’ll be nicer for you and for me.
Let’s race in the sun and be happy. Let’s splash in the stream and drip dry.
Let’s roll down a hill and be silly. Let’s lie and watch clouds drifting by.
Let’s sit nose to nose and share secrets. Let’s wish on a star, eyes shut tight.
Let’s whisper our dreams in the darkness. Let’s snuggle together at night.
If you need me, I’ll be there beside you. If you’re lonely, I’ll hug you awhile.
If you’re lost, I will be there to guide you. If you’re sad, I won’t quit till you smile.
Paw and paw, we will greet every morning. Paw and paw, we will meet every day.
You are the bear of my heart, dear, and nothing can take that away.
I will love you forever and ever, for YOU are the bear of my heart.

(I am long winded so its no surprise that I will be doing so much talking...plus the book just really captured how I feel about my little cuddly bear.)

My Cuddly Bear's Vows are from a book as well...go figure... They are from "I love you through and through" By Bernadette Rosetti-Shustak

I love you through and through. I love your top side. I love your bottom side. I love your inside and outside, happy side, your sad side, your silly side, your mad side. I love your fingers and toes, your ears and nose. I love your hair and eyes, your giggles and cries. I love you running and walking, silent and talking. I love you through and through, yesterday, today and tomorrow, too!

I kinda wish we would have written our own but he just didn't feel comfortable doing it so we chose Children's Books because of the wording and metaphors they use. Plus we have a 2 year old so it spoke to our hearts!!

YAY!!! Glad I did this...I really think it will be a special thing for us to hold onto afterwards.
