Draft vows


Sam, today I get to say out loud what my heart has known for a long time. I promise to keep choosing us, especially on ordinary days. I love you, and I am so grateful this is where our next chapter begins.

A starting point — swap in a real moment to make it yours.

Example vows in this style

  • You are my home and my favorite person. I promise to love you with patience, honesty and joy. I choose you today and every day.
  • I promise to stand beside you, laugh with you and keep showing up when life is ordinary or hard. You are my partner, and I am yours.
  • I love who you are and who we are together. I promise kindness in conflict, gratitude in calm and a lifetime of choosing us.
  • Thank you for being my safest place and my best adventure. I promise to protect our love and meet you with an open heart.
  • I choose your hand, your dreams and our life together. I promise to be faithful, gentle and brave with you.

How to make this style feel personal

  • One opener
    Start with the truth the rest of the vow will prove: you are my home, my teammate, my favorite person.
  • One promise
    Choose the promise you can say without explaining it: patience, honesty, laughter, steady care.
  • One closing line
    End on the choice you are making today, not a second introduction.

Do / don't checklist

  • Do: Keep three strong movements: opener, promise, close.
    Don't: Compress a long draft until it becomes vague.
  • Do: Let one exact word or image personalize the vow.
    Don't: Use only broad phrases like love and forever.
  • Do: Practice the vow at ceremony pace.
    Don't: Make it so short that it feels rushed.

FAQs

  • How short can wedding vows be?
    Short vows can be three strong lines: one opener, one promise and one closing line. The key is making each line specific enough to feel personal.
  • Are short vows acceptable in a formal ceremony?
    Yes. Brief vows can feel elegant when they are deliberate. If the ceremony is formal, keep the language clean and avoid casual filler.
  • What should I cut from short vows?
    Cut background, repeated compliments and anything that needs too much setup. Keep the promise and the detail that proves why it matters.
  • Can short vows still be emotional?
    Absolutely. A short vow with one exact memory or promise can feel more emotional than a long draft that circles the same idea.
