we are going to be writing our own vows, but just wondering how long they should be.

That is entirely up to you.

But it is always my opinion that concise is best.  What are the perfect words to express your feelings?

 

I personally would stick to a minute or less of talking.

Good luck!

I would say at least check with each other about length.  It might seem awkward if yours are 30 seconds and his are 2 minutes....  I think it will sound best if your vows are similar in content and length.

Long enough to say what you need to but short enough to hold everyones attention.

I dont really need words to tell him how I feel, I can give him this look, does that count? Has anyone ever been able to get married without vows I wonder?

I don't think the emphasis should be on how long the vows are but the vows should be spoken from the heart.  Of course, be sure not to get up there and ramble but just tell him how you feel from the heart.
