A Guide to Writing Your Vows
Finding the right words for the moment that matters most
There’s a quiet kind of beauty in standing before the person you love - holding nothing but your words.
It’s a moment that feels simple, yet carries the weight of everything you’ve shared.
And when that moment comes, many couples find themselves wondering:
Where do I even begin?
You know exactly how you feel, but somehow the words don’t seem to fit.
You want something meaningful and sincere — not a speech, but a promise.
The art of writing your wedding vows
Before you think about structure or length, pause.
Remember why you’re writing them.
Wedding vows aren’t performances.
They’re quiet promises - written from truth, shaped by memory, and spoken with intention.
Where your words begin
Your vows don’t start on paper.
They begin in memory - in the moments that shaped your love.
Think of:
- the first time you realised you’d found home in each other,
- the small details only you notice,
- a moment that quietly changed everything.
Those fragments are where your words live. Not in grand gestures, but in small, honest moments that belong only to you.
When words don't come easily
If writing doesn’t come naturally, that’s okay.
Vows aren’t about perfect sentences - they’re about honest feeling.
Even a few simple lines, written with sincerity, can hold more meaning than pages of polished prose.
There’s no rule for how long your vows should be.
Some couples write half a page, others a few lines.
What matters isn’t how much you say — but that it feels true.
