Yes — I’ve Got Your Back with Writing Wedding Vows

Writing wedding vows can feel like a huge task — how do you sum up everything you feel for your partner in just a few minutes? The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

As part of your ceremony journey with Benjamin Carlyle Marriage Celebrant, I provide a fantastic Writing Wedding Vows Guide to help you craft vows that are honest, heartfelt, and unmistakably you.

Where Do I Even Start?!

If you’re thinking, “Ben, I’m freaking out!” — you’re not alone. Most couples feel overwhelmed when it’s time to write their vows. But don’t worry — this is your chance to speak from the heart and say exactly why you’ve chosen this person to spend your life with.

The truth? Most cringey vows you’ve heard came from outdated templates or one-size-fits-all scripts. We’re not about that.

Writing Wedding Vows in Your Own Voice

Your vows don’t need to sound poetic or polished — they just need to sound like you. The best vows are:

• Honest
• Personal
• Playful or romantic (or both!)
• Real

Whether you write a heartfelt love letter, add a little humour, list your promises (sweet or silly), or even write a short poem — there’s no “correct” format. The golden rule? Keep it real.

How I Help You With Writing Wedding Vows

Every couple I work with receives a vow support document full of ideas, examples, and helpful prompts to get you started. Once you’ve drafted your vows, you’re welcome to email them to me separately for:

• Feedback on length, tone, and clarity
• Suggestions to align your vows as a couple
• Creative advice if you’re stuck or need inspiration

I’ll help make sure your vows land with impact — and stay true to your story.
