Guidelines for writing the perfect vows
- Take us down memory lane and be specific with the details
Nothing sells emotions like a story, taking your partner down memory lane and how you felt when you met is a beautiful opener to your wedding vows. Share sweet details like what piqued your interest about your partner, was it love at first sight for you? Don’t forget to include when you knew he/she was the one.
2. Communicate what you love about your partner and relationship
Be completely honest about how your partner makes you feel and hone in on specific things that makes your heartbeat faster about your partner even the little things: be as granular as possible.
3. Add a little bit of humor
Humor makes everything 100% better, input lighthearted humor in your wedding vows to bring a smile to your partners face. Try to make the jokes simple, avoid inside jokes that would leave the audience confused and only a few people will understand.
4. Add clear, heartfelt promises
Amidst all the lovely tales and sweet words in your vows, never lose sight of the main point: make sure to include clear promises, these are the heart of wedding vows and they are what really matter.
5. Be simple
Avoid using complex vocabulary and sentences, no one wants to have google constantly opened while you are reading your wedding vows. Make it simple, heartfelt and impactful.
