5 Tips For Writing Your Wedding Vows
Writing your own wedding vows is a beautiful way to make your ceremony deeply personal and unforgettable. But let’s be honest—it can also feel a bit intimidating. Here are five tips to help you craft vows that are as heartfelt and unique as your love story.
Start with a Brain Dump. Grab a pen, your favourite beverage, and start jotting down anything and everything you love about your partner. These notes will be your treasure trove of inspiration.
Keep It Short and Sweet. Aim for 1-2 minutes of speaking time.
Balance Humour and Heart. Your vows should feel like you. If your relationship thrives on laughter, don’t be afraid to sprinkle in some jokes. Just balance the lighthearted moments with genuine emotion.
Speak to Your Partner, Not the Crowd. Write as if you’re talking directly to them and let your love shine through.
Practice, But Don’t Overthink It. Rehearse your vows out loud a few times to get comfortable with them. That said, don’t aim for perfection. A little wobble in your voice or a few happy tears will only make your words more real and heartfelt.
A Final Note of Encouragement
Remember, your vows are a reflection of your unique connection. There’s no right or wrong way to write them. What matters most is that they come from the heart.
