How to Write Unique Wedding Vows
Apr
Writing unique wedding vows can be a beautiful way to express love and commitment in a personal way. However, it can be overwhelming to find the right words. Here are some tips on how to write unique wedding vows:
Share Small Details
When writing about the relationship in the vows, it’s easy to get lost in sweeping statements about love. Starting with small details of your experience together can make it more engaging and relatable. Talk about how you first met, what you love about each other’s quirks, and favorite memories.
Stay Authentic
It is best to write your own vows as authentically as possible. Don’t try to sound poetic or romantic, as this may not match your natural style. Instead, think about what makes you, you, and write from that place.
Think About Your Partner’s Love Languages
Love languages are ways that people prefer to give and receive love. Consider incorporating your partner’s love language into your vows. This can be acts of service, gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, or physical touch.
By following these tips, you can create heartfelt and unique wedding vows. Here are some examples of real vows to inspire you:
Real Wedding Vow Example 1
“I remember the first time I was driving home, I think from my dad’s, and I got a text. It said, ‘I love you’, for the first time. Being the responsible driver I am, I didn’t respond. About three minutes later, I got another text that said, ‘Nevermind.’ So then it was, ‘I love you, baby,’ and ‘I love you, too.’ That was one of the happiest nights of my life when you sent me that night. And I vow to you that I will always love as much as I did that night.” – Chelsea and Neal
Real Wedding Vow Example 2
“Devern, loving you has been like listening to my favorite love song on repeat. You are my security blanket in the middle of winter; my favorite Starbucks drink in the fall; my favorite jazz melody in the spring, and my safe haven in the summer. I don’t know if you’ll ever know how much I adore you, but I vow to spend the rest of my life trying to show you.” – Jerilyn
Writing unique wedding vows can be challenging, but it’s worth it to express your love and commitment in a personal way. These tips and examples can help you get started on creating your own special vows.
