I'd ask them to write their own vows - or at least write some ideas down for you to use. Even though it's a CLM, they can still file with the county to make it official - may help for insurance and other purposes later on. Is it in a church or outdoors or what? Try to take into account the (in)formality of the setting. Is anyone reading anything? If not, maybe incorporating a verse or (if religious) scripture.
At least you don't have to wear a bridesmaid gown (right?) - last one I wore had a slit up to my armpit, though it fit eveyone else just fine since they were all like 5'2". I literally could not sit down the whole evening which sucked, especially considering the amount I had to drink...I just leaned a lot.....with my forehead.
