In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, I promise to love you,
I will make sure there is always coffee,
I vow to be my best for myself, for us, and for our future together.”
“I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together.
With my whole heart, I take you as my wife/husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine.
I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family’s love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person—my love and my life, today and always.”
“You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confident, and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible… You have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together.”
“You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I’m the one who gets to marry you.”

So, not only does the Vow Builder help you get to the first draft without the stress, but it also gives you the ability to make sure your vows balance your partner’s length and tone (while keeping the actual vows a surprise). We have Professional Speechwriters and Public Speaking Coaches to help you if you need some extra guidance. And if the fear of public speaking is overwhelming – consider doing private vows!

Tips on Writing Romantic Wedding Vows For Her
Even with the help of an outline, it’s always good to have tips for writing romantic wedding vows from wife to husband handy to help with the process. Being arguably the most important part of the wedding, you should want your words to be perfect. Below is a list you would like to keep in mind.
- Be originally you. Your partner knows you and can tell when the words coming out of your mouth are not your own. Even if you perhaps copied them off the internet, make them your own before you say them. When you make promise vows to him you’re going to want to keep them.
- Be realistic. It’s good to be optimistic with your romantic vows, but also great to be practical and realistic. In writing, the groom vows you do not want to make promises that you cannot live up to.
- Stay simple. The best romantic vows from wife to husband are simple and clear. These are easier to remember and even easier to say, especially for anyone with some form of stage fright. You can include a most romantic quote if you have one that’s dear to you.
- Agree with your partner and officiant, or not. Decide earlier on if you want to share your romantic vows with your partner when writing them. If you decide to, you can also share your vows with the officiant and seek their opinion. You could also decide to keep the details of your promise vows to him to yourself until your special day.
- Chill out. Calm your nerves and chill out. This will help you speak clearly and confidently to your partner. Remember to keep your vows short, at least under a few minutes. While your romantic vows are very important, you want them to be memorable and a source of joy, not nerves.
How to make your vows unique and memorable?
“Change up the format. For something really unique, throw out the traditional formula and use your own. A poem, a song, a rap. Even non-literary formats like a recipe or a set of instructions can be romantic when written well Also, you can Incorporate a unity ritual to symbolize your bond. Beyond the classic unity candle, consider planting a tree together or blending sand or wine into a vessel, signifying your inseparability. Explore global ceremonial traditions like Celtic handfasting for added depth. Another good option is to involve your children in making vows as a family. Including them creates a profound and meaningful moment, affirming your commitment to each other and building a new family together for the future” – advised Mindy Weiss on her blog.
