Tips for Writing Your Own Wedding Vows
Writing your own wedding vows is a meaningful way to express your love and commitment. Here are some tips to help you craft words that truly speak from your heart.
Start early and revise often: Don’t wait until the last minute. Begin brainstorming ideas and drafting your vows weeks before the wedding.
Speak from the heart: Be honest, sincere and true to your relationship. Focus on including personal touches, genuine emotions, shared memories and sincere promises.
Keep it concise: Aim for a maximum duration of one to two minutes. Shorter vows are often more impactful and keep your guests engaged.
Practice saying it out loud: Read it several times aloud to hear how it flows and to build confidence. You might even record yourself to hear how it sounds.
Have a Backup: Have a written or printed copy on hand during the ceremony just in case. Even if you memorize it, having them available can calm your nerves.
