In the past, the traditional ‘I take thee to be my husband/wife to hand and to hold from this day forward’ wedding vow was the norm. Now, look. We don’t mind a bit of tradition here at Easy Weddings, but times have changed. Modern couples are choosing to personalise their vows to make their special moment unique to them.
While vows should be solemn and heartfelt, there’s more than enough room for authenticity and a touch of humour — your guests will thank you for it!
Take it from Mario of Treasured Ceremonies, ” I often ask guys to write three sentences. What attracted you to your partner in the first place? What made you then want to see that person again? What was it that made you want to be with that person forever?
If you have decided to write your own wedding vows, but have no idea how you will impress your partner with vows that come from the heart, we suggest drawing inspiration from these amazing vows specifically designed for him.
Instead of simply copying the vow, tweak it to suit your fiancé. Feel free to personalise the vow, and add in any humour if you see fit. Use these vow ideas for springboards to bigger, bolder, more personal ceremony lines.

I promise to listen to your advice, even if I don’t always take it,

I vow to always protect you from harm,
To stand with you against your troubles,
