Getting married is an everlasting promise of love and one of the most romantic things you will ever do. The journey to finding the perfect words for a wedding vow is both intimate and profound. Every word spoken on this day carries the weight of devotion and the beauty of commitment. Some couples choose to follow the vows spoken by their celebrant, while others create their own expressions of love. Regardless of the method, the heart of the matter is the emotion behind the words. Speaking sincerely and passionately is the truest way to convey the pledge you make to your partner.
Promises That Transcend Time
"As I promise always to be true I promise myself to you. I promise to hold our love as a love everlasting. To you I promise to cherish and share in everything. Not just for this moment, not for an hour, or day, or year - I will always love you." This vow reflects the timeless devotion that marriage demands. Love is not a fleeting sentiment; it is a persistent force that grows stronger with each shared experience.
An old myth states that man and woman were separated because the Gods were frightened of how strong we were together. "Men and women then were left to search their lives for the halves they lost - you are my other half - let the Gods be afraid - they cannot keep us apart." This romantic notion emphasizes the notion that true love is predestined, a reunion of souls that is unstoppable and eternal.
The Breath of Reality
"I have to catch my breath to believe this is real, that I am marrying my true love, my heart's desire, and my best friend." The moment of marriage is a profound recognition of destiny. Love is reciprocal, as expressed in the sentiment, "Love is give and take, I give all my love to you and receive so much love in return." It is in the mutual exchange of care and affection that the bond between partners strengthens.
"I vow to carry you and to be carried by you, to journey with you and to love each minute because of our travels together. We will live a life of constant adventure together." Life’s journey with a partner is enriched by the shared experience of discovery and the beauty of mutual support.
A Life Shared Forever
"I love that you and I will spend the rest of our lives together. Somehow my life has come to this amazing moment and now I will always share it with you." Marriage is not merely a legal contract; it is the weaving together of two souls in an enduring tapestry of affection and understanding. "We have always been married, through all time, through all the world, our souls have always been united, and I have the joy of experiencing that love now and forever."
"You are my guide to love, my every wish, and the person I want to grow old with." With this declaration, the commitment to nurturing, supporting, and celebrating one another through all stages of life is expressed. The daily acts of affection are equally important, as noted in the vow, "I vow to kiss you every day, as we do today - with love and devotion. That each kiss we share from now, will be a remembrance of our wedding vows, our joy, and everything we share."
The Ineffable Bond
"No words can possibly express the vow that I give to you now - it is an ineffable part of myself that I place in your care as we join together." Some emotions surpass verbal expression, yet vows provide a framework to communicate the depth of commitment. "I promise that my love for you will be an ever flowing spring, never diminished and always sweet and life-giving." This eternal spring symbolizes the nurturing, sustaining, and rejuvenating quality of true love.
"I promise to love you, to be your hearth, to keep a flame alive for you in my heart." In these words, the imagery of a constant, warming fire emphasizes loyalty, protection, and enduring passion. Gershwin immortalized such sentiments, writing, "that it’s very clear, our love is here to stay - not for a year, but ever and a day. The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know may just be passing fancies and in time may go… but oh my dear, our love is here to stay - together we're going a long long way. In time the Rockies may crumble and Gibraltar may tumble - they're only made of clay but, I vow, our love is here to stay."
Beyond the Parts
"It is said that we are more than the some of the parts we are made of - if this is true of anything it is true of our love." The completeness of marriage is the culmination of two distinct individuals coming together to create something greater than themselves. "When you walked into my life, love walked in. It was a magical moment that I will treasure forever with you. I will walk together with you and with love."
"They say that love is a many splendored thing, constantly changing and evolving. My love for you will be ever changing like a chimera and ever growing like a verdant valley." This reflection captures the dynamic and ever-expanding nature of shared devotion. "Our love will bind us together through all time and this I promise, to always be true."
The Eyes That Speak
"I knew I loved you from the moment we met, and I have been helplessly lost in your eyes ever since." Eyes often become the mirrors of love, reflecting the profound connection between partners. "I'll be your bridge o'er troubled water, when you're down, I will carry you, like a bridge o'er troubled water I will lay me down" - Simon and Garfunkel. The willingness to support and carry one another through hardship exemplifies the depth of marital dedication.
One Universe of Love
"Together you and I will make one, one world, one universe of love, ever growing, ever expanding - perpetually and inexorably." The metaphor of a shared universe emphasizes limitless possibilities and infinite joy. "I vow to love you as you love me, through all hardship, darkness, and pain to reach for our joys, our hopes, and always with honesty and faith."
"All I have in this world I give to you, I promise to hold and keep you, comfort, protect, and shelter you, for all the days of my life." This encapsulates the nurturing, protective, and steadfast qualities that define a lifelong partnership. "From this day forward, let us build a home together filled with love, laughter, joy, and light, when two become one we create a family, built on love."
Growth Through Devotion
"I promise to grow with you and build with you a better life each day as we learn from each other to be patient, kind, giving, and to always cherish each day together." Commitment to growth and mutual development ensures that love matures alongside the experiences of life. "My commitment to you is one if give willingly, absolutely, and without hesitation. I am yours utterly and have been since the moment we met. We were married before this day and will always be."
"Our love is unique and to be cherished. To you I promise only my constant devotion and love, forever and ever." In recognizing the singularity of one another, partners affirm the rare and precious nature of their bond. "I love the spark that is inside you, your eternal glowing lovely spirit, and I am so glad to be able to see that everyday, warming my soul, forever."
The Soulmate Connection
Richard Bach has said, "A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise."
"You are my soulmate, you are the person who loves me for me, you reveal the best part of me. I love you and I love our paradise." The concept of a soulmate emphasizes a profound, almost spiritual connection that transcends ordinary affection.
"The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind I was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." - Rumi
The Journey of Marriage
Marriage bridges two shores, binding us together as one unbroken path, on which I vow never to deviate, never to falter, and to always be by your side. "As the spring explodes with beauty and growth, as the Summer warmth curls over us in waves, as the sweet harvest of the fall, and in the crisp cold brightness of winter, I love you every season, every year forever and ever."
"I've listened to my heart beat, felt it trapped in the cage of my ribs. But now I think of it like a dove - flying to you - to be joined with you, my heart soars with yours. Together our hearts take wing."
The Joy of Shared Life
Every wedding is a celebration of love, an acknowledgment of the promise to walk side by side through the journey of life. Every vow spoken is a declaration of devotion, a testament to the unity of two souls committed to each other. "Every promise I make to you is one I feel is not a burden, but rather a gift - I don't HAVE to honor and cherish you, I GET to, I GET to have you be the person I spend the rest of my life with, I GET to be there for you and support you. It is my fantastic pleasure to be in the position to be there for you my love." Love thrives in the willingness to give and to cherish freely.
Devotion Without Condition
"I promise you my unconditional love, tenderness, and undying devotion, to not ask you to be more than you are, and to love you for being you." To love unconditionally is to embrace the essence of another person, nurturing their growth while respecting their individuality.
"I remember that day, That's when love walked in through my door, I found just what I wanted, But I got so much more, Love walked in through my door, And it felt so strange, Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed, Giving me hope again, Love walked in, Love walked in, Love." - George Gershwin
"He loves and she loves and they love, So why can't you love and I love too? Birds love and bees love and whispering trees love, And that's what we both should do! I always knew some day you'd come along, We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong! Darling, he loves and she loves and they love, won't you Love me as I love you?" - George Gershwin
Walking Into a Shared Future
"I enter into this life with you without reservation, without fear or confusion, but with a clear and trusting heart. Everything will work out love, because we will be together." The journey of marriage is strengthened by the assurance that two hearts are bound in trust and hope.
"Come and be my wife. We'll build our home and chop our wood and make our garden grow... we'll do the best we know. I promise to live out our lives in love as best we can. That is all I can promise in truth." There is poetry in the simplicity of these vows, a grounding in daily life while aspiring to the extraordinary.
Pillars of Strength
"I stand by you, a rock to lean on, a shoulder to cry on, a pillow to rest your head." Commitment is not only expressed in words but in the tangible support partners offer each other. "I promise to spend each day working to become the truest version of myself, for you, for us, and for our family." Love inspires growth, patience, and courage.
"I promise to be here to wipe away tears of sadness, to elicit tears of joy, and to cry out to everyone who will listen how much I love you." In this declaration, the intertwining of care, protection, and exuberant affection exemplifies the spectrum of marital devotion.
Heartfelt Devotion
"As your husband, I am yours, and I tenderly deliver you my heart." The surrender of one’s heart is the ultimate act of trust and commitment. "You are my light, my inspiration, and I am blessed to be able to call you my ever loving wife." The union of love is illuminated by admiration, respect, and devotion.
"I promise to be there for you, in cold winter mornings, to warm you, on soft springs to watch our love grow, in our summers to play in the light of the sun, and in our autumn to kiss your fingers and say, it has all been worth it - every moment of our love." Seasonal metaphors depict love as a living, evolving force, present in every facet of shared existence.
Sacred Bonds
"I love you and thank the Lord for bringing you into my life. As we enter into the sacred bonds of matrimony I promise to always love you in sickness as in health, in poverty or wealth, in sorrow and in joy, and to be faithful to you, my wife, so long as we both shall live." Faith and devotion intertwine in these words, capturing the spiritual dimension of lifelong companionship.
"You are the kindest, most, sincere, loveliest woman I know and I am lucky to hold your hand, be in your arms and in your heart. If you will have me, I will make my arms your shelter, and my heart our home." The imagery evokes a sanctuary built not of bricks, but of trust, warmth, and love.
Daily Affirmations of Love
"I vow to love you and keep you every day of my life as my wife - to look into your eyes adoringly as I do now - and to kiss you tenderly on your lips as a remembrance of our wedding day." Every day becomes an opportunity to reaffirm devotion. "My wife is gentle, my wife is kind, my wife is devoted, loving, true, honest, sincere. My wife is all those things, but most amazingly - my wife is you."
"The simple words 'I do' reflect a contract I have with you, my wife. To do whatever and anything it takes to make you happy, to take action in our marriage and not just give lip service to those actions, but most of all that I do love you, and always will." Love is demonstrated through action, presence, and unwavering commitment.
Creating a Home of Love
"I will shield you from the wind, cover you from the rain, and make a home for us inside my heart." The essence of marriage is in protection, nurturing, and emotional refuge. "Sometimes I watch just the smallest things you do and think I am the luckiest man alive." It is often in the minutiae of daily life that love is most vividly experienced.
"As Beatrice inspired the great poet Dante to write sonnet after sonnet, you inspire me to see poetry everywhere." Inspiration drawn from a beloved illuminates creativity, joy, and wonder in ordinary life. "Sound in body, sober in mind and without reservation I take you to be my wife, through good times and bad, with dignity and honor - I love you, I cherish you, you are my everything."
Immersed in Love
"Today all other things melt away as I look at you and love you beyond all reason and beyond all ideal - I stand outside by myself and join with you my loving wife in our new life." In this declaration, love transcends time, space, and circumstance.

"You are my wife, my life, my everything and I vow to love you truly and deeply." This profound promise captures the totality of devotion, the integration of two lives into one harmonious existence.
Lifelong Partnership
"Hold my hand and I'll take you as my wife down the road of matrimony, arm in arm with hearts aflame, I'll teach you what I know and learn from you how to love forever and ever." Love is a partnership of teaching, learning, and mutual enrichment. "I vow never to stop loving you as I do today.

To be the bannerman of our love and yell to the wide open spaces filling them with these words: This is my wife and I love her!"
Supporting Each Other’s Dreams
"From you I've learned how to dream and what it is to have a loving partner who supports your dreams.

Marriage is a moment of culmination, but also the commencement of a lifelong journey of unity and growth.

"Your mind stirs my soul, your touch delights me, and your faith gives me strength. With you as my husband, I feel the love of the universe which spreads peace and harmony over all things."
Love in Imperfection
"I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more." - Angelita Lim. True love embraces the entirety of a person—their strengths and vulnerabilities alike. "It is clear to me now that everything in my life has led me to you - I think back on all my choices and consider even the bad ones blessed, because if I had done even one thing differently, I might never have met you and become your wife." Every step, misstep, and decision culminates in the gift of shared life.
Family and Togetherness

Marriage is not merely about two individuals; it creates a microcosm of love, care, and learning, forming the foundation for a shared family.

Each and every night."

Communicating Hearts

A Lifetime of Devotion
Marriage is a journey that blends two lives, two dreams, and two hearts into one cohesive path of love and understanding.
