Here Are Wedding Vow Examples That Spread The Love

Getting ready to tie the knot but feeling a little tongue-tied? Don’t fear–we have some wedding vow examples, tricks, and tips to help get your creative juices flowing! 

How To Write Wedding Vows

Writing your wedding vows is no simple task, whether it’s your first time or you are celebrating a vow renewal. How could you possibly put into words the love and devotion you feel for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?! You simply can’t–which means you can actually take the pressure off. All you can do is take a deep breath, listen to your heart, and speak your truth. 

Though it may seem overwhelming at first, think of your wedding vows as a way to simply share the story of your love. How did you meet? What first made you fall in love? What are your favorite qualities about your partner? What are some of your favorite memories with them? How do you envision your future together? Try to take some time to just sit with yourself and contemplate or journal about these questions. 

Wedding Vow Structure

One thing that can help make your vows start to take shape is a structured outline to adhere to. Here is one that you can use:

Express Your Love

Say “I love you,” This opening section is a great opportunity to express what you love about your partner, expand on how they make you feel, and how you want to make them feel. 

Talk About Longevity 

Though it may seem cliche at first, it’s important to talk about loving your partner through thick and thin. Marriage is not easy, but talking about your intentions to stick with it for the long haul is necessary. 

Make Promises

They’re called vows for a reason. Here is where you can make some promises to your partner: How will you make them feel loved? What will you do to work on your relationship daily? Marriage is a serious commitment, so it’s helpful to write and express the actual actions you’re going to take to make it work.

Tell A Story

When it comes to public speaking, nothing catches an audience’s attention more than a good story. You can take your vows as an opportunity to tell the story of your relationship, share your favorite memories, tell some funny anecdotes, and really make a show of your love and partnership.

Ask For Support

If you’re getting married surrounded by your friends and family, then you can absolutely take the opportunity to acknowledge them in your vows. The saying “it takes a village” is no joke– marriage can be filled with trials and tribulations, and having the support of the important people in your life is key.
