One of the biggest mistakes couples make with their wedding vows is trying to include too much\u2026 If you\u2019re telling the entire history of your love story or quoting all your favorite episodes of <em>The Office<\/em>, your guests will grow weary, quick. If your vows are going over five minutes apiece, here\u2019s how to edit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep compliments to 2-3 meaningful observations about your partner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose one quote from a poem, movie, or philosopher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about your personalized commitments and focus on 1-2 marriage vows to reflect those. Choose a few highlights from rich areas like:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Honesty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Care and attention<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creativity and adventure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spontaneity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kindness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intellectual and professional support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Starting a family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caring for animals, home, and garden<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giving each other space and independence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loving each other unconditionally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, your wedding day should be all about you. You and your partner love each other and probably want to shout it from the rooftops. And yes, you deserve all the happiness in the world, BUT \u2014 don\u2019t let all that (potentially wordy and confusing) energy hijack the flow and impact of your ceremony. Your guests love you and they want to hear all about it \u2014 to a limit. Keep your vows on the shorter side to let them fully absorb and revel in the occasion\u2026 So deliver your vows, seal the deal, and then get ready to party! You and your sweetheart have the rest of your lives to express your ongoing love and devotion to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practice-your-wedding-vows-out-loud\"><strong>Practice Your Wedding Vows Out Loud<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1049\" data-id=\"56613\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-700x1049.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Ekaterina by Maggie Sottero during her wedding vows\" class=\"wp-image-56613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-700x1049.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-250x375.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-120x180.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Audrey-Rose-Photography-9489-2-scaled.jpg 1709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Audrey Rose Photography<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another easy but oft-skipped part of writing your own wedding vows: PRACTICE! Set aside a few times in the weeks leading up to the ceremony to say your words out loud to yourself or a trusted member of your bridal party. You\u2019ll be surprised at how easy it is to get flustered when you try to wing it \u2014 and how much smoother it feels when you\u2019ve run through your vows a few times. Here\u2019s what we recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Practice in front of a mirror or record yourself if it feels comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try out a few icebreakers with yourself. Improv exercises and theater prompts are a great way to loosen up your authentic voice and expression.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try some daily journaling to help uncover new memories and insights about your relationship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask your maid of honor for positive feedback and help editing your final vows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-your-wedding-vows-secret-from-your-partner\"><strong><strong>Keep Your Wedding Vows Secret from Your Partner!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s a great idea to sync up your vows and practice before the ceremony, we definitely believe in keeping the specifics of your wedding vows a surprise! By delivering them \u201con the spot,\u201d you allow them to have full impact for your partner and guests, making them feel much more natural and meaningful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember \u2014 by design, vows are meant to be shared during a set time (your wedding date) in front of a select group of witnesses and your chosen minister. That\u2019s what makes the act so important; if you broadcast your marriage vows beforehand, it may lessen the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marriage-vows-examples\"><strong>Marriage Vows Examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"54547\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-700x467.jpeg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Josie by Rebecca Ingram tearing up during her wedding vows\" class=\"wp-image-54547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-700x467.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/JOSIE_CapturedByKivinen_Marikken-1-120x80.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Captured by Kivinen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get you started on personalizing your wedding vows, here are a few more examples and prompts for what to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cI am yours forever and always.
