Writing unique wedding vows is one of the most important and maybe under-heralded parts of your day. If you think about it – a lot of stuff that happens at a wedding has a tonne of importance wrapped around it: enjoying drinks with your community, hanging out in a spectacular place, and partying on into the small hours. But the vows are where you share something with and to each other, and is what the rest of the day is actually built around. My recommendations for writing unique wedding vows are firstly, to avoid going on a google deep-dive on other peoples vows. They were made for other people. I’d instead suggest two things. Firstly, write what you feel! Dive into your own relationship. Embrace the quirk, oddities, serious stuff, and everything in between. Secondly – invest in a great celebrant, who is also invested in you. I have a list of the best wedding celebrants in Melbourne, and you can also check out this piece Charis White Celebrant wrote about vows, and she comes at my highest recommendation.
