News with Maya - Wedding Vow Writing Tips for a Heartfelt Ceremony

About this video

How to write wedding vows is one of the most emotional questions couples face while planning their big day.

Wedding vows don’t need to be long or elaborate to be meaningful. In fact, the most powerful vows usually land between one and two minutes. This gives you enough time to speak from the heart while keeping guests engaged and the ceremony flowing beautifully.

A helpful way to begin is with reflection. Think about your journey together, like an experience, a challenge, or a quality that defines your relationship. From there, transition into your promises. What do you commit to as partners? How will you support, love, and grow together?

One of the most effective vow-writing frameworks is past, present, and future. Share where you’ve been, what you love about your partner today, and what you promise for the years ahead. Keep your language natural and conversational. These words should sound like you, not a script. Avoid too many clichés or inside jokes, and always read your vows aloud to ensure they flow naturally.

Editing is essential. Trim repetition, remove unnecessary details, and trust that simplicity often carries the deepest meaning.

Destination weddings are intimate by nature, and vows are often the most emotional moment of the day. Thoughtfully written vows help create a ceremony that feels deeply personal and meaningful—no matter the location.
