Writing your own wedding vows?

I have been spending the day catching up on my bridal blog reading (not my own personal blog, the other bridal blogs out there). I somehow found myself at $2000 Dollar Wedding, reading their wedding vows. Are you or did you write your own vows? We used the standard, recite after me vows...I could barely follow along with that because of nerves - I couldn't possibly have been creative enough to write and speak them aloud! Anyway, I really loved how the vows were written...and wanted to share - in case you are writing your own. The style is to start everything with "I love you because...." and then on the last statement you end it with, "Because I love you...." I couldn't stop thinking about it once I read it, so it was worth sharing!

THE ALLOVER LACE DRESS

Here's an inspiring collection of allover lace dresses: Alencon, Chantilly and the new inventions in knits as well as revivals in cotton and crocheted laces.  For me the beauty of an allover lace dress is it's  continuity and femininity.

Above and below are gowns in knit and cotton laces, definitely a new spin to traditional. For the eco-conscious bride, most could easily be reworn post-wedding.
