Can my vows be funny?

Yes they can. Personal vows are what you want to express to your partner.

Absolutely! Your vows can definitely be funny if that’s what feels true to you both. It’s a great way to show your personality and bring some light-heartedness to the ceremony. Just make sure it reflects your relationship and is still meaningful. A bit of humour can really make the vows memorable and personal!
Hope this helps, Mark 

Yes your vows can be comical as long as there is no expletive language or suggestions. With profanities and suggestive phrases it is in contravention of the Code of Conduct. Common decency should prevail.

In a marriage ceremony conducted by an authorised marriage celebrant there a compulsory minimum vows that must be said by each party to the marriage. After saying the compulsory minimum vows the couple may exchange personal vows which may be serious of funny.

Yes, vows can be as funny as you wish.
There is a mandatory format for the first setence after that feel free to say anything you wish.
I once had a bride say "even though you love your cars more than me" which went down very well with those that knew the groom
And another said "I like you because you will swap meals when i order something that is too spicy"
So, yes you can.
And you can work your vows together or write them seperately and not dislose until the actual day !

Your personal vows may be funny, however your legal vows must be stated as per the 'Marriage Act 1961'.

Absolutely! Your vows can be as funny as you want them to be. Think of it as the perfect opportunity to bring some laughter and lightheartedness to the ceremony, like "I vow to love you even when you leave the cap off the toothpaste... again and again".  Remember to balance the humour with some genuine sentiment so your vows remain heartfelt and meaningful. After all, you want your guests to laugh and cry (from laughter, not boredom).

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Share a funny story about how you met or a memorable date.
• Poke fun at yourself; it shows you're down-to-earth and confident in your relationship.
• Use playful language with metaphors or wordplay to keep things creative.

And don't forget, you still need to include the legal bit, but everything else is fair game for humor! So go ahead, make your vows a reflection of your quirky love story. Just ensure both of you are on the same page.

Absolutely, wedding vows can be funny while still being heartfelt and meaningful. Humour can lighten the mood, show off your personalities and mke the moment even more memorable.

Funny vows can include, inside jokes, playful promises, and funny moments in your relationship journey.

Besides the minimum legal vows, adding personal vows that are from the heart but with a little cheeky side note to your partner, can make all the difference to what you say and really add to your ceremony. It makes your guests feel they are more a part of your day. Don't be afraid to share but always feel comfortable with what you say. Congratulations and good luck
