Grow old together 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 take you to be my friend, my lover, the future mother of my children and my wife. I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care for and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and to stay with you for all eternity.
You make me the luckiest man alive. I value your family values and how you keep them close to your heart. I am very proud of what you have achieved and how our relationship has grown over the last six years. I could not live without you in my life and I cannot wait to grow old together and bring up a family. Your beautiful smile lights up my day and I cannot wait to call you my lovely wife. I promise to share our true love for as long as we both shall live.
Party 2
Looking at you I know you are the one for me. You make me smile and laugh but most importantly you’ve shown me what forever looks like. In this moment, I truly believe here is where we are both meant to be.
Becoming your wife, I promise to always be there with you. You will have my continual respect and I know I will have yours. I will seek to be honest, loving, faithful and protecting. I also promise to put up with your favourite TV shows if you can put up with mine.
I am thrilled to be spending the rest of our lives together. In your eyes, I see our future: our wonderful, challenging, expanding future. I am completely excited for whatever comes our way because I know with you by my side everything will be fine.
Thank you for not only loving me but also my family, who you seem to have flawlessly fitted in to.
Today I get to marry my best friend. All that I have, all that I am, all that I will ever be is yours. Forever.
