So many couples spend months if not years planning the perfect wedding going over every single detail over and over However, when it comes to writing their vows, they get stuck. I am often told to just choose something for them. As a wedding officiant, I would like to discuss the importance of vows in your wedding officiant script.
Your wedding vows are a testament to what you feel for the person you plan on spending the rest of your life with. Of course as a wedding officiant, I can give you 20, 30, even 100 choices that I have written or are AI generated, but at the end of the day, your wedding officiant script should be about the two of you.
It is completely understandable that not everyone has the gift of words. In this case, I always suggest you write down some main points you would like to make during your vows. They don't have to be organized and well written, using point form is perfect.
Here is an example of vows for someone marrying a man named Joe:
makes me laugh
cares about me
is always doing something kind for others
makes me smile every time I think about him
makes me want to go on adventures with him
After you have written this out, you can then look at vows that have been pre-written and customize them, or even use AI to help you. In this case, I have used AI to write three different versions of vows stemming from the points I made.
Vows Version 1
Joe, from the moment I met you, you've filled my life with laughter and joy. You have a way of making me laugh like no one else, and your caring nature makes me feel loved every single day. Your kindness to others is inspiring, and it's one of the many reasons I fell in love with you. Every time I think about you, I can't help but smile. With you, life is an adventure, and I can't wait to explore every moment with you by my side. I promise to cherish you, to laugh with you, to support you, and to love you with all my heart, now and forever.
Vows Version 2
Joe, you are my best friend and my greatest love. You make me laugh even on the toughest days, and your care for me is beyond measure. I admire how you always put others first, showing kindness in every action. Every thought of you brings a smile to my face, and the idea of adventuring through life with you excites me more than anything. I vow to stand by you, to bring as much joy to your life as you bring to mine, and to love you unconditionally through every adventure life throws our way.
Vows Version 3
Joe, your laughter is my favorite sound, and your caring heart is my safe haven. Your endless acts of kindness not only brighten my day but also inspire me to be a better person. You make me smile effortlessly, just by being you. With you, I see a life full of exciting adventures and endless possibilities. I promise to laugh with you in times of joy, to care for you in times of need, to share in your kindness, and to smile with you every step of the way. Together, we'll make every day an adventure, and I will love you deeply and truly, now and forever.
Now, let's pretend Joe is always late and it is something that everyone in the family jokes around about, you can also include that in the vows.
Vows Version 1 (with a joke about being late)
Joe, from the moment I met you, you've filled my life with laughter and joy. You have a way of making me laugh like no one else, and your caring nature makes me feel loved every single day. Your kindness to others is inspiring, and it's one of the many reasons I fell in love with you. Every time I think about you, I can't help but smile. With you, life is an adventure, and I can't wait to explore every moment with you by my side.
I promise to cherish you, to laugh with you, to support you, and to love you with all my heart, now and forever. And, I promise to always give you a heads-up when we're leaving early, because I know you like to make a fashionable entrance.
The importance of the wedding vows in your wedding officiant script should not be the cause for undue stress, but rather should be something that is fun to do, even if you aren't gifted with words.
Whether you decide to use AI or write them yourselves, make sure they are personal and are about your unique love story.
