How do you write wedding vows for him?

Short answer

Write vows for him by speaking directly to him, using his name, and promising specific, everyday things you will do together. Keep them personal, warm and honest.

Start by thinking about what makes your relationship work. What does he do that makes you feel loved? What do you want to promise him for the years ahead? Write as if you are talking to him alone, not to a room full of people.

Use his name and say "you" throughout. Avoid generic lines about love and forever. Instead, promise small, real things: making tea on Sunday mornings, listening when he is tired, laughing at his jokes even when you have heard them before. These details make vows feel true.

Keep the structure simple. A short opening about why you are here, a few promises, and a closing line. Aim for about 100 to 150 words when spoken aloud. Practise reading them out. If you stumble, shorten them.

Remember, vows are not a legal requirement in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The registrar or celebrant will guide you on what is allowed. If you want religious vows, check with your place of worship, as wording can vary. You can also write your own and keep the legal words separate.
