Vows are said out loud, in front of everyone, on a day when you are already overwhelmed. That is why so many of them borrow the same three phrases: my best friend, my rock, my everything. They are not wrong, they are just not yours, and your guests have heard them at four weddings this year.
Two things make vows work: a specific memory and a promise small enough to keep. I will take the early shift on Sundays is a vow. I will never let you down is a wish. Put the memory and the qualities in the box, then choose traditional or plain. The draft runs about 90 seconds spoken, long enough to mean it and short enough to get through.
What the wedding vow writer gives you
01Promises specific enough to actually keep
Every draft contains concrete promises rather than abstractions. I will take the early shift on Sundays can be kept and can be checked. I will always put you first cannot, and the guests know the difference even when they are too polite to say so.
02About ninety seconds when spoken aloud
The draft is sized for the moment, not the page: roughly 200 words, which is a comfortable length at a ceremony. Long vows read as a performance, and the front row starts shifting before you reach the second paragraph.
03Traditional language only if you want it
Turn it on and the draft includes the customary address and closing formula an officiant expects. Turn it off and you get something plainer, which works for a secular ceremony or a couple writing their own order of service.
04Personal and funny that still lands
The humor setting adds one warm, low-stakes joke, usually about a habit you share. It stays away from families, money and anyone’s past, because a wedding is the wrong room for a joke with a target in it.
When to use it
The card you keep not writing
Birthdays, weddings, thank-yous and condolences all have a deadline and no draft. The blank card sits on the counter for a week. Get a full first draft in a minute, then change the details only you know.
The message you owe someone
Apologies, sympathy notes and hard conversations are put off because the first sentence is unbearable to write. A draft you can edit is much easier to face than a blank page.
The occasion with a format
A eulogy has to be readable aloud in five minutes. A wedding speech needs a laugh in the first thirty seconds. When the format is fixed, the tool starts from the format instead of from a feeling.
How it works
- 1
Write the memory, not the theme
Not how you met — the Tuesday night you knew. One scene gives the vows a place to stand, and it is the part your partner will still remember ten years after the reception.
- 2
Choose how traditional to be
Turn traditional elements on for a church or a ceremony where the officiant reads from a script. Turn them off for a secular ceremony, a very short one, or a second marriage where the formula feels borrowed.

Say them out loud once
Read the draft at speaking pace. Anything you stumble over gets cut, and anything that sounds like a greeting card gets rewritten or removed. Ninety seconds is longer than it looks on paper.
Frequently asked questions
How long should wedding vows be?
+
Around 200 words, or 90 seconds spoken. Some couples use 150 and some use 400, but past two minutes the front row starts to shift. If you are nervous, shorter is kinder to you and to the room in front of you.
Should we write our own vows?
+
If your officiant allows it, and most do. Writing your own is optional; many couples use traditional vows and write personal ones for a private moment instead. Ask before you plan the ceremony around something the venue does not permit.
What if my partner and I write very different lengths?
+
Agree on a rough length in advance, and on whether you are both using humor. Mismatched vows are awkward for about ten seconds and then forgotten. The mismatch that lasts is tone, when one person is joking and the other is not.
Can we use the same vows?
+
Yes, and it is a good option for a short ceremony or a second marriage. Matching vows remove the comparison and let the ceremony stay simple. Many couples use a shared set and add one personal line each. Say them at the same pace as well.
Can I include a joke?
+
One, early, and about a shared habit rather than a person. Personal and funny is the setting for it. Two jokes and the ceremony starts to feel like a speech, and the vows are supposed to be the serious part of the day.
Do we need to memorize them?
+
No. Almost everyone reads from a card, and officiants expect it. Print them large enough to read while looking up, and hold the paper low so it does not cover your face in the photographs. Read it once standing up before the day.
