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

04

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.

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

Talk about your hopes for your future together.

End with “I love you.”

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.
