A Guide To Wedding Vows

Your wedding vows are more than just words; they're the heart of your ceremony, a public declaration of the promises you're making to each other as you embark on this new chapter. They symbolize the deep connection you share, the commitment you're making, and the future you're building together.

Read below to see the rituals & traditions that you could incorporate to make your wedding unique.

  • Commitment: They represent your unwavering dedication to your partner, through thick and thin.

  • Love and Devotion: They express the depth of your love and the unique bond you share.

  • Promises for the Future: They outline the promises you intend to keep, the values you'll uphold, and the life you envision together.

  • Public Declaration: They are a powerful statement of your love and commitment in front of your loved ones (or in a more intimate setting for an elopement).The ritual typically takes place during the ceremony as a physical act of binding, signifying that the couple is "tied" in marriage. Couples might choose this ritual for its deep historical and spiritual significance, especially if they want to honour their heritage or emphasise the bond's strength.

What Wedding Vows Symbolize

Writing your own vows

Writing your own vows can feel daunting, but it's a deeply rewarding experience. Here are a few tips to guide you:

  1. Reflect on Your Relationship: Think about what brought you together, the challenges you've overcome, and the moments that define your love.

  2. Consider Your Promises: What promises do you want to make to each other? These can be specific or general, heartfelt or humorous.

  3. Find Inspiration: Read poems, love letters, or listen to songs that resonate with your relationship.

  4. Choose a Structure: You can choose a traditional format ("I, [name], take you, [name], to be my…") or a more free-flowing style.

  5. Be Authentic: Write from the heart and use your own words. Your vows should reflect your unique relationship and personalities.
