Alice, the ordinary days made sacred and sworn

Alice, before everyone we love, I take you to be my wife. From this day forward, I promise to have and to hold you, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. I will love you when it is easy and when it is hard, and I will keep loving you through whatever the years may bring. I will honor you in word and in deed, I will be faithful to you always, and I will cherish you above all others. I give you my hand and my heart, freely and without reservation. In the quiet, ordinary days and in the difficult ones alike, I will stand beside you, steady and true. I make you this promise not for today alone, but for every day that follows, for as long as we both shall live. This is my solemn and lasting vow, and I will keep it with all that I am, till death do us part.

I give myself to you freely, and I receive you as a gift I have done nothing to deserve, holding nothing back. Whatever the years bring, I will walk beside you in faith and in love, trusting that what God has joined together, no one on earth can divide.

Grace, hearing what you don't say, always

Grace, before our families, our friends, and everyone we hold dear, I take you to be my wife. I promise to have and to hold you from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, in times of plenty and in times of want. I will love you when it is easy and when it is hard, when we are strong and when we are weary, in the bright days and the dark ones alike. I will honor you in word and in deed, I will be faithful to you in body and in spirit, and I will cherish you above all others for as long as we both shall live. I promise to be the one who stands beside you in every storm and celebrates with you in every joy. I will listen when you speak and hear what you do not say. I will be patient in our disagreements and quick to forgive, I will tell you the truth with kindness, and I will never stop working to be worthy of the trust you place in me this day. Together we will build a home founded on love, on faith, and on the promises we make here, a place of warmth and welcome for as long as we live in it. In the ordinary days and the extraordinary ones, in the years we can imagine and those we cannot yet see, I will remain yours and only yours, now and always. Before all who are gathered here, I give you my hand, my heart, and my whole devoted self, freely and without reservation, holding nothing back. This is my solemn and lasting vow, and I will keep it, faithfully and with all that I am, till death do us part.

Coffee orders remembered, grace turned into shelter

The day everything went wrong, you turned it into a story we still tell, and in that moment, I saw how grace lives in your heart. I love how you remember every friend’s coffee order, a small but beautiful sign of the care you carry with you. In you, I have found a partner who walks with faith and trust, who lifts me up and holds my hand through every joy and trial. Today, I promise to be that hand you reach for when we are old and slow, to walk beside you with patience and unwavering love. I vow to build a home where faith is our foundation and trust the roof that shelters us. Above all, love each other deeply. (1 Peter 4:8) With God as our witness, I pledge myself to you fully, through every breath and every season, as your partner, your friend, your devoted love. Whatever comes, I will stand by you, hand in hand, heart in heart, for all the days of our lives.

Before the phone, always you first

Morgan, I want to start by thanking you for that week I was sick, when you never once made me feel like a burden. You have this incredible way of checking on me before you even check your phone, and that simple kindness shows me who you are every day. I promise to keep choosing you on the quiet Tuesdays, the ordinary moments, not just the big days. We will build our life on trust and faith, knowing that together we can face whatever comes our way. "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Colossians 3:14) That binding love is what I commit to, for better or worse, in laughter and in tears. I am so grateful to call you my partner, my blessing, and my home. Let’s keep growing, learning, and loving with the grace God gives us. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us, hand in hand, heart to heart.

The vow that had Riley's family laughing in ten minutes

Riley, I want to start by saying how much it means to me that you fit into my world so naturally, like that day when you met my family and had everyone laughing within ten minutes. It showed me how kind and genuine you are, and it’s one of the many reasons I love you. I love the little moments with you, like when you hum without even noticing while you cook. Those simple things remind me of the joy and peace you bring into my life. Today, I promise to walk beside you in faith, to build our trust every day, and to face whatever comes our way as partners. I don’t want to grow away from you, I want to grow with you, in every way. I will be honest with you and patient, even when things are hard, holding onto the love and hope that brought us here.

Wedding vows for him

Words a bride says to her groom: romantic, playful or heartfelt. Three different voices, so you can hear which one sounds like you.

The best day of the year: nothing

James, I promise to always cherish the quiet moments with you, like that Sunday we spent doing absolutely nothing but still made it the best day of the year. I love how you text me the second you get home safe, and I vow to always care for your peace of mind in the same way. I promise to protect your quiet mornings, knowing how much they mean to you, and to stand by you even when your playlists test my patience. I commit to building a partnership based on trust, where we can share our dreams and face every adventure together.

Oil, water, and a 2am kitchen song

Nathan, I promise to always remember the look on our friend’s face when they sat us next to each other, convinced we'd clash like oil and water. Instead, we found rhythm in the chaos, like when we danced in the kitchen at two in the morning to that song only we think is good, no one else was invited to that party, but it’s our secret forever. I love how you keep your promises, even the small ones that might seem invisible to others, because it shows me your heart in action every day. That kind of trust is the foundation I want to build on. I vow to be your partner for all the adventures life throws at us, whether it’s conquering mountains or getting lost on purpose. When things get tough, I promise to keep making you laugh, even when I’m trying my hardest to stay mad. Because let’s be honest, laughter is our secret weapon. I will stand beside you with honesty and respect, and I’ll always make room for us to grow, together. In this partnership, I vow to listen deeply, to support your dreams as if they were my own, and to celebrate the quirks and moments that make us uniquely us. I choose you, not just because of who you are now, but because of who I know we will become. And in every quiet or noisy moment, I promise to be your favorite dance partner, on and off the kitchen floor.

He brought dinner and skipped the questions entirely

I want to start by thanking you for showing up that night when everything felt like it was falling apart. You walked in with dinner and didn’t ask a single question. You just made the hard day easier simply by being there. That moment showed me so much about who you are, kind, steady, and fully present. It’s one of the many reasons I love you. Growing up two streets apart, I never would have guessed our paths would cross the way they did years later. But here we are, standing together, ready to build a life based on the trust and partnership that’s grown between us. You have this way of making the tough days smaller just by walking into the room. You notice when I need silence, and you know when I need to feel close. That kind of understanding is rare, and it means everything to me. I promise to be the one who reaches out first after a fight, even when it’s hard. I promise to always listen closely and to try to understand before trying to be understood. I promise to stand by you as a true partner, sharing the weight of life’s challenges, celebrating the victories, and seeking adventure together. I vow to keep exploring the world with you, not just in places, but in the quiet moments and the ordinary days. I promise to trust in us and in the love we’re building every day. I choose you, Adam, for all the days ahead, on the easy ones and the difficult ones. I promise to hold your heart gently, to laugh with you often, and to be your safe place. This is my promise to you, now and always.

Wedding vows for her

Words a groom says to his bride: tender, playful or plainspoken. Three different voices, so you can hear which one sounds like you.

Two quiet escapees, one chaos turned into laughter

When I think about the moment we first met, I remember sitting by a table, both of us quietly escaping the noise of small talk. In that quiet, something began between us, something steady and true that feels like it was written in the stars. Chloe, you have become the calm in my chaos, the steady heart that brings me back when I start to spiral. You never judge or hold my struggles against me, and that grace has deepened my love and trust in ways I never thought possible. I’ll never forget the day everything went wrong, what should have been a mess turned into a story I still laugh about with you, a reminder that even at the most unpredictable moments, we are stronger together. That day showed me the deep connection we share, a partnership built not just on the good days, but on how we lift each other through the hard ones. Today, I vow to keep reaching for your hand, no matter how old or slow we become. I promise to honor the trust between us, to nurture this love that feels meant to be, as if our souls have been intertwined by the universe itself. I promise to be your anchor and your biggest supporter, your partner in every season of life. With you, Chloe, I have found a love that grounds me and lifts me higher at the same time. I am endlessly grateful to walk this path with you, today and always.

Coffee orders, terrible playlists, and one closing café

Hannah, today I stand with you, feeling the quiet strength of the universe that seems to have quietly conspired in our favor. I remember the way time slipped away on our very first meeting, how we lost ourselves in conversation until the café sighed closed around us. That night, beneath the soft hum of a world quietly turning, I felt a soul connection that needed no words beyond the simple presence of two people becoming one. One of my favorite memories with you is that Sunday, when we did nothing at all. The world rushed by, but we found peace in stillness, wrapped in each other’s company. It showed me that love isn’t always about grand gestures; sometimes it’s about honoring silence and sharing space. That day still shines brightly, because it was real, because it was us. I love how deeply you care about the people in your life, remembering every friend’s coffee order like it’s a secret password of belonging. It shows how your heart moves through the world, thoughtfully, fully present, and open. I feel honored to be the one who gets to share in that kindness and attentiveness every day. Today, I promise to protect your quiet mornings, to guard those sacred moments when the world feels still and you are simply yourself. I will defend your terrible playlists with the same passion you bring to every corner of your life, because loving you means embracing all that you are. I vow to build with you a partnership grounded in trust, to nurture the connection that anchors us even in the wildest storms. Together, we will walk this path as two souls intertwined, in a love that feels destined and whole.

From seatmates too shy to say hello

I remember sitting in class, just a few seats apart for a whole year, both waiting for the right moment to say hello. Today, standing here with you, I’m so grateful that we finally found the courage to start that conversation. Sofia, you have this incredible way of filling a room with warmth, just like the first time you met my family and had everyone laughing within minutes. That moment showed me how naturally you connect with the people around you, how you bring joy without even trying. I love the little things about you, like how you hum softly while you cook, completely lost in the moment. Those small glimpses of you make me fall in love all over again every day. You make the ordinary feel extraordinary. I promise to build a life with you that is rooted in trust and partnership. I won’t just stand beside you; I will grow with you. We won’t drift apart as time passes, but move forward together through whatever adventure life throws our way. I want to explore the world by your side, learn from you, and create a home filled with laughter, support, and endless love. I vow to listen when you need to be heard, to be your safe place and biggest cheerleader. I will be honest, patient, and kind, even when things get hard. Sofia, today I am choosing you, not just for this moment, but for every moment that comes next. I love you, and I can’t wait to see all the incredible things our life will hold together.

The Sunday of doing nothing, best day yet

Emma, I promise to cherish the quiet moments with you, like that Sunday we spent doing absolutely nothing, which still stands as the best day of that year. Your calm presence feels like home, and I love how you always text me the second you get home safe, reminding me how much you care. I vow to protect your peaceful mornings, to hold space for your calm before the world wakes, and to never complain about your terrible playlists, even when the songs surprise me in ways I don’t expect. I promise to build a life with you grounded in trust, to be your partner in every sense of the word, and to greet every adventure with an open heart and the knowledge that we’ll face it together.

A year of silence, a lifetime of humming

Riley, I want to start with a moment that feels small but means everything to me, the way you hum while you cook, completely lost in the rhythm without even realizing it. It’s those little things that made me fall for you, that showed me how genuine and beautiful your spirit is. We spent a whole year in the same class without speaking, and now I can’t imagine a day without your voice in it. I remember the first time you met my family and how effortlessly you had them laughing within ten minutes. That ease, that warmth you bring everywhere you go, is a gift I feel lucky to receive every day. Today, I promise to be your partner in every sense. I vow to build trust with you, to listen even when it’s hard, and to communicate openly so we can face life’s challenges side by side. I want to grow alongside you, not away from you, through every change and every new chapter we write together. I promise to pursue adventure with you, whether in the big moments or the small ones, to keep curiosity alive in our hearts, and to never take for granted the joy of discovering the world hand in hand. Riley, I choose you, today and all the days that follow, for your laughter, your kindness, and your unwavering presence in my life. With you, I am home, and with you, I look forward to a lifetime of love, partnership, and endless adventure.

Two strangers hiding at a wedding, forever found

I want to start with that afternoon at our friend’s wedding, when we both escaped the buzz of small talk to hide behind the same table. That moment, quiet and unexpected, felt like the start of something true. Since then, you have become my steady anchor and my greatest adventure, all at once. I think back to that day when everything went wrong, the details still vivid but somehow soaked in laughter now. You didn’t just keep calm, you made a story out of the chaos, one we both love to revisit. That memory tells me who you are, someone who chooses joy, who faces the world with patience and humor. What I love most about you is often quiet, almost invisible to others. The way you remember everyone’s coffee order like it’s the most important thing. How you steady me when my thoughts race out of control, never once making me feel less because of it. That kind of love, steady and kind, is rare and precious. Today, I promise to be your partner in every sense of the word. To build a foundation of trust where we can both be ourselves, completely and without fear. I promise to embrace every adventure with you, from the wildest dreams to the slowest Sunday mornings. And when time makes us old and maybe a little slow, I promise I will still be reaching for your hand, just like I am now, because nothing feels more like home. I vow to laugh with you, to listen deeply, and to hold space for all the parts of you, the strong and the fragile, the quiet moments and the stormy ones. Together, we’ll write our own story, a partnership filled with respect, love, and endless curiosity about what comes next. With you, I choose a lifetime of friendship, passion, and unwavering support. I am so grateful to walk this path by your side.

Two streets apart, one destined dinner delivery

Julian, sitting here with you feels like the universe finally remembered where it left two people who were always meant to find each other. It’s wild to think we grew up just streets apart and yet, here we are, building something real and incredible together. I love that about us, that no matter the time or distance, our souls seemed to know what was coming. I’ll never forget that night when my plans fell apart and you showed up with dinner, no questions asked. It’s moments like those when I see the quiet strength of our connection, the way you understand me without me having to say a word. You always know when I need space to breathe and when I need you right beside me. That balance between closeness and freedom is rare, and it’s something I cherish deeply in you. Today, I promise to be the one who reaches out first after a fight, even when it’s hard. I vow to nurture our trust like a sacred flame, knowing that this partnership we’re building will carry us through any storm.

Two missed trains and one favorite notification

I promise to remember the day we met, standing together at that delayed train platform, talking so long we both missed the next one. It felt like the universe nudged us to stop and really see each other. Since then, every moment with you has been a new kind of adventure, even the quiet ones. I’ve never admired anyone more than I admire you in those small, everyday ways. Like how you text me the second you get home safe, or how you check on me before you check your phone, like I’m your favorite notification. Those little pieces of your heart are what I cherish most, and they remind me how lucky I am to call you mine. When I was sick that week, you never made me feel anything less than whole. You carried me with your kindness, your laughter, your endless patience, and I want to carry you like that every day. Through the good days, the tired days, and all the ordinary ones in between. So today, here in front of everyone, I promise to keep choosing you. Not just on big, beautiful days, but on the Tuesdays when we’re just tired and the coffee’s lukewarm and the world feels heavy. I promise to be your teammate in trust, your partner in all things, and your favorite place to land. I promise to listen when you need to talk and to hold your hand when words aren’t enough. To celebrate your dreams like they’re my own, and to build a connection that’s stronger than any challenge we face. I choose you because you’re my home in this wild, spinning universe. And most of all, I promise to keep laughing with you, even when life gets serious, because with you, every day feels a little like magic. I love you, Taylor, today, tomorrow, and for every ordinary day after that.

Two a.m. kitchen dances and the humming she forgets

Sofia, as I stand here with you, I see not just the person I love but the soul that feels intertwined with mine in a way the universe itself must have orchestrated. I think of those quiet moments, like dancing in the kitchen at two in the morning to our secret song, when the world falls away and it’s just us, connected in a way words can’t fully capture. I love how you hum without even noticing while you cook, filling our home with a gentle music that reminds me of your presence even when you’re not near. Today, I promise to nurture this trust we have built, to honor our connection as a sacred space where both our spirits feel free. I vow to be your partner in all things, standing beside you through joy and challenge alike. And when I find myself trying my hardest to stay mad, I vow to make you laugh, because your happiness is woven into the fabric of my own.

Questions

Wedding vows FAQ

How long should wedding vows be?

About a minute per person spoken aloud, roughly 150 to 250 words. Long enough to say something real, short enough that every line earns its place and the room stays with you.

Do we have to write our own vows?

Not at all. Traditional vows exist precisely so you don't have to start from scratch, and plenty of couples keep the classic script as-is. Writing your own is a choice, not a requirement, and blending the two (the traditional backbone plus one personal line) is a lovely middle path.

Should our vows match in tone and length?

You don't need to read each other's vows beforehand, but do agree on roughly how funny and how long. That way one of you isn't doing three minutes of tears after the other did thirty seconds of jokes. Aim for the same key, even if the melodies are different.

Is it OK to use a template?

Absolutely. The traditional vow is essentially a fill-in template that's worked for centuries. Start from any example on this page, keep the shape, and swap in the details that are true of the two of you, that's how most great vows get written.

Is the vow writer free?

Yes, writing your vows is completely free. No sign-up, no credit card, no catch.

Are my vows private?

Your story stays yours. We use your answers only to generate your vows, and nothing you write is shared publicly.

Can I edit the vows I get?

Absolutely. The AI gives you a heartfelt first draft, and you can rewrite, shorten, or adjust the tone until it sounds exactly like you.
