Tongue Tied

As we reach the 75 day mark, Mr. Marshmallow and I have now moved on to the nitty gritty details of the wedding. This includes everything from the to do lists to the minute by minute game day plan. One of these items is the ceremony. There are many aspects to the ceremony from music and readings, to welcoming words and recessional. Many of these things are pretty standard but one thing I have not settled on are the vows.

Do I want to say the traditional "for richer or poorer" that has bonded countless brides and grooms or do I want to write my own. Perhaps we can even do the traditional vows and during the exchanging of the rings we can say a few words on our own.
I am sure that you can tell from this blog I am not a very elegant writer. I also don't consider myself creative; however I do want my friends and family know how much I love Mr. Marshmallow and why I think he should be my partner forever. I won't even go into the fact that I'm so nervous to be in front of the most important people in our lives and public speaking is not exactly my strong suit. But, you know, I would do anything for Mr. Marshmallow and I guess sharing all the reasons why I love him in front of 120 of our closest family and friends is as good a place to start as any.
Now I just have to find the right words.
Do you have any thoughts on the traditional vs. writing your own vows?
