I have no idea how to start writing my wedding vows

Off the top , most ceremonies are 30 - 35 minutes long, do not ramble on, look at what that other person means to you, say why you fell in love with them and why you love them, think of the promises you want to make on your wedding day, make it romantic, sentimental, after all it is your wedding day, your special day.

Your Celebrant should be able to help you. They may also have custom packages designed to write them for you and there are also some helpful templates online :)

As a celebrant we can send you some helpful v ows that you can then alter to be more about you both.

So many couples are unsure so the celebrant can help you, we are there to the end and want to ensure we can guide you with your vows. Personally I have written vows for couples once I know exactly how they feel.

There was a time the wedding vow was as simple as calling each other husband and wife and hopping over a broom.  Today, it's a bit different.

My advice would be to sit with each other at some quiet time.  Maybe as you watch the sunset as you hold hands and lean against the rail along the esplanade.  Maybe as you finish a quiet dinner together, doing little hip nudges as one washes and the other dries the dishes.  Use your imagination.  You have a story to tell.  You have a promise in your heart to be with the person standing closest to you.  Let those thoughts flow.

Nothing is too corny or mushy or silly.  A wedding is a celebration.  It is a joyful time.  It's a time to bare a little bit of your heart to everyone.  It is a time for laughter... and for tears of joy.

Once you and your partner have some story to tell... some notes you are happy with... discuss these with your celebrant.  We spend a lot of time thinking about our weddings, the weddings of our friends, and so very much more.  Together, you and your celebrant, can form the words you want to say... the words that mean the most to you.  And whether you want to memorize something and amaze everyone with your reading of some third act in an Italian Play, or have fun stumbling over the words shyly as you hold hands with your partner, just remember, your celebrant is there to help you say whatever you wish to share in words with each other and your friends.

With my weddings , I give you as little or as much help as you need to write yours vows. It is totally up to you.

i have lots of sample vows to share and a "no fail recipe" to guide you through.

once a draft is written I will edit it for you and make suggestions for improvement, if needed. I will then print your vows and pass them to you at the appropriate moment. There is no need to try to remember your vows.

A vow is a promise, a promise you make to each other.

I do have some grooms who dont know what to say and my answer is to put these into words:

What did you think when you first saw your partner

What made you ask for a second date

What made you ask for their hand in marriage

Hi there, great question as I guide most of my couples to write their own vows here are a few hot tips!

- The best place to start is to reflect on what your fiance means to you. 

- What would you like to promise to your partner (serious and light-hearted)?

- Are there parts of your relationship you would like to emphasise?

- Feel free to use attributes in your vows to describe your love, your partner and your relationship.

- Do you have special names, words or sayings that are just between you and your partner?

- What does marrying this person mean to you? How does it make you feel?

Remember the following:

This is a public declaration of your commitment, so others will be listening!

Try not to talk for too long! Quality not quantity.

Don’t stray from your personality – serious, fun, light-hearted – stay true to yourself.

Above all, make sure your vows are sincere.

It's wonderful that you're keen to write your own vows, and yes, it can feel quite challenging at first, but it's worth it.  While the ceremony is the heart of your day, those personally written vows become the heart of your ceremony.  Writing and then reading them to each other during your wedding ceremony is gorgeously intimate.

I've just completed a blog post called, "How to Write Personal Wedding Vows!" which shares 10 tips to help you write yours.  If you'd like me to share it with you, just reach out to me.
