As I give you my hand wedding vows

awesome wedding vows
This entry is part 31 of 58 in the series Awesome Wedding Vows

Here’s the next set of awesome wedding vows in my series of amazing (de-identified) vows from one of my beautiful couples!

Some of my couples have written such incredible words of love and promise, and I thought they’d act as great inspiration for other couples who have no idea where to start when writing their own vows. While I provide all my couples with a vow pack that contains questions to get you started and loads of individual sentences that can be put together to create vows (and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that), the vows in this series all include the kind of personal touches that I think make wedding vows beautiful and genuine. To me, the most successful vows are personal, from the heart, and written in language the speaker would use in their everyday life.

Also remember: the word vow means promise. While we all love hearing all the reasons you love your partner, your vows are your chance to tell your partner all the things you are promising them for your lives together into the future. Don’t forget the promises!

A reminder: these vows are published to inspire you and provide you with some ideas for writing your vows. They’re not here so you can copy them word for word!

Also remember these don’t include the legally required vows – those words generally go at the start of these ones.

Party 1

As we stand here in front of friends and family there isn’t anyone else I could ever imagine being up here with. I am honoured to tell you I love you, and that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

The week we met again after high school I swore I wasn’t looking for a relationship any time in the near future. However that night I came home with a phone number written on my shirt, although it was missing one number. But somehow you got my phone number and things just went from there. I didn’t know it right then and there but soon after, I knew you were special to me. It’s not like the movies or books. It wasn’t a choir of angels singing or butterflies in my chest. It was then I knew that my heart, my soul, my life would be forever incomplete without you.

I didn’t think it could get any better until our amazing boys were born. Being at your side for the whole experience of pregnancy and the birth, there just aren’t any words that can comprehend that feeling, how it has brought us even closer, and just like the Grinch, my heart grew in size with the birth of the both of them.

Everything I do, everything I want, is to make you and the boys happy, because your happiness is my happiness. I will now and will forever love you.

These past 5 and a half years have been amazing with you. I wish I could say that this is going to be the happiest day of my life but I know the truth is that this will only be one of the happiest days that we will share together. Our life together will take us on many journeys, some good, some not so good, but there isn’t anyone I would rather have at my side.

My promises to you are to always listen and hear you, to always consider your feelings and thoughts, to keep you smiling and laughing, to always support, push and inspire you, to love you unconditionally and without hesitation, and to be your biggest fan and your partner in crime. I promise not just to grow old with you but to grow together. As I give you my hand I also give you my life to keep for now and forever.

Party 2

Magnificent red-headed stallion. Your imperfections are the main reason I fell in love you. You have a pure heart of gold and have given me the best thing in life; you gave me the greatest gift to become a mother to our beautiful boys. You have done one of the greatest things not only being an amazing father to our boys, but thrived us as a family, always sticking us together, working hard for us every day.

The day I knew I loved you was when home went from being a place to being a person and that person is you. It doesn’t matter what we go through, we are stronger then ever. and you and I is a forever kind of thing. I don’t care if we argue because you’re the only one I want to argue with, the only one to give a million chances to, because that’s what our love is. It’s holding on to one another; even if we pull away one of us pulls us back in, uniting us as one again.

Our love is you making me laugh when I need to the most; it’s when I rub your back when you are sore from working 12-hour days, it’s all the little things that are actually the big things. It’s the kisses for no reason, the arse grabs when getting dressed, it’s the way you hold me up when I can no longer stand, it’s me yelling at you because you snore.

Our love is true serendipity; you are the love that came without warning, you had my heart before I could say no. Since meeting you, you have made me feel more alive and less lost in the world. We are simply two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other. I solemnly swear to choose you, and to keep choosing you to infinity and beyond.
