Reflect on Your Love Story
Begin by reflecting on your love story, the moments that have brought you together, and the experiences that have shaped your relationship. Think about the qualities you admire in each other and the reasons why you fell in love. Drawing inspiration from these shared experiences will add depth and authenticity to your vows.
Establish a Tone
Consider the tone you want to set for your vows.
Do you envision a more romantic and poetic style, or perhaps a touch of humor that reflects your lighthearted relationship? Establishing the tone early on will help guide your writing process and ensure your vows align with your vision for the ceremony.
Finding the right balance between brevity and depth is essential.
Consider the structure of your vows, whether you prefer a chronological approach or a thematic exploration of your relationship.
Keep in mind that while you want to express your love fully, it's important to maintain a reasonable length to keep your guests engaged.
Speak from the Heart
When writing your vows, authenticity is key. Speak from your heart and let your genuine emotions guide your words. Avoid clichés and generic statements, instead focusing on personal anecdotes, inside jokes, or shared memories that illustrate your love and commitment.
Include promises and commitments in your vows that reflect your shared aspirations for the future.
What do you envision for your life together?
How do you plan to support and cherish each other?
These promises will serve as a foundation for your journey as a married couple.

By reflecting on your love story, establishing a tone, speaking from the heart, finding the right structure and length, incorporating promises and commitments, you can create heartfelt and meaningful vows that will resonate with you and your partner.Remember, your vows are a reflection of your unique relationship, so don't be afraid to let your true emotions shine through. i am always here for my couple, to be your guide in this journey, offering support and guidance as you write your vows and create a wedding ceremony that captures the essence of your love.A Ceremonies by Sarah Tip
Instead of rushing your vows the night/week before your wedding day.
Start writing little dot points in the notes on your phone. Once a day, once a week, once a month.
What did you partner do for you? How did they make you feel? What did you experience together?
That way when it comes time to sit down and write out your vows, you have notes to rely back on to create effortless, thought out words.
You can’t rush perfection!
