Side by side 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
You are my little treasure. I promise to always be there for you when you need it most. I promise to love you even when we’re ghosts. I promise to guide you when you can’t find your way. I promise to tell you you’re beautiful each and every day. I promise to support you in life wherever it may lead. I promise to give you a big cuddle every time you need. I promise to cherish doing life with you. I promise this by the old gods and the new.
You are my density! I mean my destiny!
I love you because you’re happy, adventurous and strong. I love your giant heart and your beautiful soul. You have shown me a kindness and love which I never knew existed. You have my whole heart to yourself. May our adventure continue until we are grey and old.
Party 2
I promise to love and cherish you as much as Pebbles. I promise to continue to be best friends with you, love you and support you like no one else. I promise to try my hardest to make you happy and to look after you even when I’m not at home, even if this means leaving hot dogs ready for you to cook up yourself for dinner, or help you organise yourself for the next day.
I look forward to tomorrow, knowing we will do it together, side by side, hand in hand, and heart to heart.
Today I am so happy to call you my husband. I could not live without you. I look forward to continuing to do life with you in good times and in bad; I know I can get through life with you by my side. I will never give up on you. I’ll help you to succeed and give you room to grow. I love you so much and I am grateful that I found the man of my dreams, my soulmate.
