Wedding Vows Draft

Marco,

When we met in that tiny Lisbon cafe, I thought I had found someone who knew the best place for coffee. I did not know I had found the person who would make every ordinary morning feel like home.

You are patient when I rush, steady when I spiral, and somehow still willing to split fries with me even though you know I will steal most of them.

Today, I promise to choose us in the small daily ways: to listen before I answer, to make room for your dreams, to laugh with you when plans change, and to keep building a life that feels honest, kind, and ours.

I love you for who you are, for who I become beside you, and for the future we get to make from here.

Short Version

Marco, you make ordinary life feel safe, funny, and full of possibility. I promise to listen, to keep laughing with you, and to choose our life together every day.

Delivery Tip

Pause after the funny fries line; it gives the room a moment to breathe before the emotional turn.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Use one concrete memory and one clear promise; that combination makes vows feel personal without rambling.
  • 💡Read the draft aloud twice and cut anything you would feel awkward saying in front of your guests.
  • 💡Avoid copying famous vows verbatim; borrow structure, not someone else’s emotional receipts.
