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.
