You Wrote Your Wedding Vows — Here’s How to Polish and Deliver Them With Confidence

You wrote them. You survived. Maybe you even cried a little (that’s how you know they’re good). Now it’s time for the final touch-up and prep.

Let’s make sure your vows feel ready — and that you do too.

✂️ Step 1: Edit With Love

Read them out loud. Again.

Trim the rambly bits. Replace clunky words. Keep the parts that make your heart go oomph.

Ask yourself:

Does this sound like me?

Would I say this to them on a Sunday morning, half-asleep?

If it sounds like a Hallmark card, strip it back. Go real, not fancy.

🎨 Step 2: Personalise, "Baby"

Sprinkle in little “you” things:

Inside jokes

Shared rituals

Weird pet names

The time you both cried laughing at that weird meme

Your guests don’t need to “get it” — it’s for you two.

🧡 One Last Thing

If you’ve read this far, then wow — look at you go. You’ve explored why personal vows matter, learned how to write them in your own voice, and now you’re polishing them up for the big moment. That’s no small thing. You’ve taken a deep breath, leaned into vulnerability, and chosen to say “I love you” in a way that only you can.

Writing your vows isn’t just a wedding-day task — it’s a love letter to your partner, your story, and the life you’re about to build together. Whether you’re wordy or brief, poetic or playful, nervous, or excited (or all of the above), just know this: if your vows sound like you, they’re perfect.

Now go out there, take their hand, and say the words that matter most.

You’ve got this — and if you ever need a friendly voice to cheer you on? I’m right here.

🎭 Step 3: Get Comfy With Saying It

No, you don’t have to memorize it. Print it out. Put it in a cute notebook if you’re feeling fancy.

Practice a few times — enough to know where to pause, and where your voice might crack (that’s okay, by the way).

💬 Real Talk: It’s Not a Performance

You might laugh. You might cry. You might mess up and say “I promise to always feed the cat” instead of “support your dreams.”

That’s human. That’s you. That’s beautiful.

Your vows aren’t for perfection. They’re for love. So say them with a full heart — shaky voice and all.
