Commissioning a Custom Wedding Poem

Making speeches and creating vows for a wedding can be difficult. Some people seem to have a knack for finding just the right words, while others founder uselessly trying to make an elegant statement and coming up short. The good news is that there are people out there who write for a living. They can create poems, verses, and vows uniquely for your wedding.

There are plenty of places online to purchase poems and vows for weddings. These are sites that offer poetry, vows, and verses that you can use for your wedding. Some sites only give you a tantalizing glimpse and then require you to pay a small fee before seeing the rest. Others offer them for free.

It is possible to personalize these works into something that you would like to say, but the fact remains that they were not originally created for your wedding. While this may be fine for most couples, there are still plenty of romantics who would prefer to have a verse created just for THEIR wedding, and no one else's.

Enter the custom poets. There are sites that offer custom services for between $30 and $100. You can get a poem, verse, or even your vows written eloquently and specifically for you. Two good sites for this are http://www.poemstogo.tv/weddings.html and www.specialoccasionpoetry.com. You give the poet information about how you met, share your feelings about the relationship, and offer helpful tidbits.

You can even give the poet the gist of what you would like to say. And then you wait. The poet will take the information and craft a special poem that is unique to your relationship and your wedding. Instead of using hackneyed material, you are offering something fresh and personal.

This also works for making best man or maid of honor speeches. My husband's father writes poetry, and he created a special poem just for our wedding. We had it framed and it hangs on the wall in our bedroom, where we can see it everyday and read it to remind us of our love for each other. A special poem or verse adds meaning to the occasion.

Special vows, elegantly expressing your commitment to each other will make long lasting mementos. If you have trouble finding the words, it is possible to have someone else find them for you, helping you create a lovely and memorable, as well as deeply personal, moment to cherish for a lifetime.
