Writing your own wedding vows is one of the most meaningful parts of a personalized ceremony. But staring at a blank page can be intimidating. These examples and templates will help you find the right words.
Traditional Vow Template
“I, [name], take you, [name], to be my lawfully wedded [husband/wife]. I promise to love you, honor you, and cherish you, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, as long as we both shall live.” This classic format can be used as-is or adapted with personal additions.
Modern Vow Template
“[Name], from the moment I met you, I knew my life had changed. Today, I choose you to be my partner in all things. I promise to support your dreams, to laugh with you in joy and stand with you in hardship. I promise to be patient, kind, and faithful. I love you and I am grateful to build a life with you.”
Tips for Writing Your Own Vows
- Start with a story: how you met or a meaningful memory
- Make specific promises that reflect your relationship
- Keep it between 100-200 words (1-2 minutes to speak)
- Practice reading aloud before the ceremony
- Write them down on beautiful paper as a keepsake
- Bring a backup copy for the officiant
What to Include
An opening address to your partner, specific promises (I promise to always make coffee on Sundays, to listen before reacting, etc.), acknowledgment of challenges and commitment to face them together, and a closing statement of lifelong commitment.
