Becoming our best selves 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

I can still picture myself waiting in front of Jojoes for you to arrive for our first date, others walked past and didn’t register a reaction… It wasn’t until I saw someone unsteadily walking in heels in my direction that I thought, “I hope that’s her.” Little did I realise, “her” would become the most important person in my life.

It didn’t take long to see the qualities in you that made me fall in love with you. Your kind, patient and accepting nature, your love and commitment to family, your drive and ambition. Although I say no every time, I secretly adore how you want to adopt every animal, even if you do have a weird preference for one-eyed cats and three-legged dogs.

I thank you for showing me unconditional love and support and for teaching me that who I am is always enough. I can honestly say that I would not be who or where I am today without those things.

I promise to be supportive and encouraging with all endeavours, to help you reach all your goals. I promise to continue loving you, through the highest of highs to the lowest of lows.

I look forward to our future together, becoming our best selves and starting a family.

Party 2

I am so excited and happy to become your wife on this day; today we start a new chapter together and become a family.

We have been inseparable since our first date… at the gym… almost six years ago. I didn’t make it easy at first, I made you tackle a few walls but your gentle nature, sense of humour and love soon broke them down. You made me trust in the process of falling in love and giving all of myself to someone.

You are my person, the one I want to tell every thought and feeling to, the one I want to build a long life with. You make me smile and laugh every day, you make me feel like I’m the only woman in the world and I’m so grateful to have a wonderful, beautiful man like you to call my husband.

I promise to love, respect and cherish you, I promise to go on Bunnings trips with you and not complain, I promise to not get another cat but most of all I promise to always be by your side, as team, to make our dream work.

Thank you for coming into my life and providing me with unconditional love, support and patience. I love you lots and lots.
