How do you write wedding vows as a bride?

Start by thinking about what you want to say, not what you think a bride should say. You might write, "[Name], you are my calm and my adventure. I promise to be your teammate, your cheerleader, and your safe place." Keep it short and sincere. Avoid copying vows from films or social media, as they may not feel authentic. Instead, use details from your own life, like a shared joke or a way they support you. If you are religious, you can include a blessing or a line from scripture, but check with your place of worship first. For a civil ceremony, your registrar can confirm what is allowed, and remember that religious content is usually not permitted. Write your vows a few weeks ahead and revisit them. Read them aloud to see if they flow. You can also ask your partner if they want to share their vows with you beforehand, or keep them as a surprise. Either way, aim for under a minute when spoken.
