Writing Your Wedding Vows: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Alpine Image Company

Quick Tips Before You Start

01

Set aside quiet time to think about your partner and your relationship and remember to speak from the heart—don’t worry about sounding poetic or “perfect.”

02

Don’t be afraid to add a little humour, if that feels like you and as a general guide,  keep them short and sweet: around 2-3 minutes is perfect. Sometimes longer for elopements.

03

Always end with something simple and sincere (like “I love you” or “I can’t wait to spend forever with you”).Remember you can write and read your vows in your own language.

Vow Writing Templates

Writing your vows shouldn't be stressful. It’s just about putting your love into words. Below, you’ll find two easy-to-follow templates, some quick tips, and four real examples to help you get started. Use them exactly as they are, mix and match, or just let them spark your own ideas.

Option 1: Your Journey Together

  • Reflect on how far you’ve come as a couple.

​

  • Share 2–3 things you love or appreciate about your relationship or partner.

​

  • Make a promise about the kind of partner you’ll be.

​

  • Talk about your hopes for your future together.

​

  • End with “I love you.”

​

​

​

Example:

​

From our first date to this very moment, every step with you has felt like home.
I love how you make life feel fun, safe, and full of possibilities. I love your laugh, your kindness, and your endless support.
I promise to keep learning, growing, and showing up for us every single day.
I can’t wait for the quiet nights, the big adventures, and everything in between.
I love you.

Final Thought

Your vows don’t need to be perfect. They just need to be you!

Honest, personal, and filled with love.
