You’re having a western themed wedding?!? I’m excited because I did too! When we had ours, we just did the traditional vows the preacher does. Personally, I thought talking in southern drawls and yelling "Yee-Haw!" after the kiss was a bit too western but that’s all up to you. I would just write what you feel. Even though it may not be totally western, it’s exactly what your groom wants to hear. If you need any ideas/planning tips, I’d be so happy to help you out, btw. I’m learning to become a wedding planner, weddings make me so happy and I think it’s sad you only get one. LOL. Good luck to both of you!!

When you say western, do you mean like the pioneer days/wild wild west/country-western (western US) or do you mean western civilization (like the US, UK, Canada, Australia, western Europe, etc.).? My understanding is that the vows that include "for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health" originated in England and was widely used in 19th century America (including frontier areas) and is still widely used today. In the 19th century US, a lot of ppl would say "I will" instead of "I do". They mean the same, but it's just a matter of custom. IMHO, the traditional wedding vows are great bc they cover all the relevant points.
