Need deserve and want 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 promise to give you the best of myself and ask of you no more than you can give. I promise to respect you as your own person and to realise that your interests, desires and needs are no less important than my own. I promise to share with you my time and my attention and to bring joy, strength and imagination to our relationship. I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you see through the window of my world into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams. I promise to grow along with you, willing to face changes in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting. I promise to be faithful to you with my body, in my heart and from my soul and to love you with all that I am.
You are my best friend, my confidante and my favourite person. You make me laugh and cry, you are honest and wise. You are my strength. You always love me no matter what. You have always managed to help me through bad times, and I cannot imagine my life without you. Today, I make a promise to you and to myself, in front of our family and friends, to love, honour and protect you for all the days of my life.
I’m looking forward to every morning next to you and your funny dance when I’m downstairs. I can’t wait to go through all the hard times, because that is when we work closer. I’m very excited to call you my husband because for me that word means that there are a lot of steps coming for us, and that in every single one I’m going to hold your hand, even if you left the dirty dishes in the sink. Let’s continue making memories and growing as a family.
I love you and I will love you forever.
Party 1
You are my best friend, my soul mate and the piece of me I never knew was missing. I knew from that first moment that my life would never be the same, that I needed to spend my life with you and that I absolutely met my match! Building our life together instantly seemed like the only possible future and indeed one that we would work hard for. Truly, every moment of every day I am focused and excited about creating our future and family together.
I promise you that no matter what obstacles we face, we will face them together, that I will always respect you, care for you, support you, do the washing, and love you with every breath I take. I promise to always be the partner you need, deserve and want.
