Writing wedding vows is terrifying. You're about to stand in front of everyone you love and try to put into words something that words can't fully capture. But the best vows aren't the most poetic — they're the most honest.
This guide walks you through the whole process: stop trying to sound like someone else, pick a structure that works for you, use specific details over generic compliments, keep it to 2-3 minutes, and practice reading out loud.
The most important thing? Your vows should sound like you. Imperfect, a little nervous, maybe teary — that's what makes them real. And real is always more beautiful than perfect.
