How to write your own wedding vows?

Writing wedding vows is not an easy task – no matter how much you love your significant other, how good or bad you are with words or how much time you’ve imagined getting married to the love of your life, once you sit down to write your own wedding vows, you will face difficulties. But no matter how hard it may be to choose the right words, telling the love of your life how much you love them, how grateful you are for the time you’ve spent together and how much you’re looking to spending your lives with each other is totally worth the struggle. Here are a few things you should make sure to say in your vows:

Use your wedding vows to say “I love you”

Even though there are many things you might want to say in your wedding vows, make sure that the phrase “I love you” makes the cut because often times couples try so hard to express their feelings that they actually forget to include a simple “I love you” in the vows.

Promise to be with your partner no matter what

It is common for most wedding vows to have a part about sticking together through thick and thin and you should make sure to include this in your vows too. After all, each marriage has its own ups and downs and your partner would love to hear that you’re planning to be with them no matter what happens. If you’ve already faced some difficulties together, you might want to mention that and use it to make your point and liven up the vows.

Include personal stories when writing your own wedding vows

A great way to make your vows more touching for your significant other and interesting for your family and friends is to include personal stories about your lives together and funny quirks you share. Vows that help people see how great you are as a couple, how strong you can be together and how much fun you have together and much better than platitudes and rehearsed phrases that don’t have nearly as much emotion packed into them.

Include promises to your significant other in your wedding vows

It’s important to remember that while personal stories and sweet words should absolutely be in your vows, they should also include actual promises, as a vow is a commitment you’re making to your significant other in front of friends and family. Just don’t make them too heavy – it’s best to combine serious promises like being with each other through everything with more playful ones like always opening tight jars and bottles for your wife.

Mention family and friends when writing your wedding vows

It’s a great idea to mention your family and friends that have gathered to witness the wedding in your vows. Say how important all of them are to you, how much you value their support and how you hope for their help and support when times get tough for your new family.
