Is Hiring a Professional Wedding Vow Writer “Cheating”? Here’s the Truth.

Bride and groom reading their wedding vows to each other.

Hey friend,

Planning a wedding is no joke.

Between managing guest lists, dress fittings, and (let’s be honest) a few strong family opinions—I know you’ve got a lot on your plate.

And now you’re expected to write the most meaningful words of your life?

Girl, I can already feel the tension in your shoulders.

I hear this from overwhelmed brides all the time:

💬 “I know what I want to say—I just don’t know how to say it.”
💬 “I’ve got pregnancy brain. I can barely form a sentence.”
💬 “Wedding planning has officially melted my brain.”
💬 “I’m just not a writer, but I want my vows to mean something.”
💬 “I don’t want my vows to sound cheesy or like I stole them from Pinterest.”

If that sounds like you, friend—you are not alone.

💡 “But isn’t hiring a professional vow writer cheating?”

This question comes up all the time. And honestly? I love when it does.

Because it means you care deeply about getting your vows right.

So let’s clear this up once and for all:

Hiring a professional vow writer isn’t cheating.

Instead, it’s:

Thoughtful.

Intentional.

And it’s one of the best gifts you can give yourself—and your marriage.

Think about it this way—you’re already hiring professionals to capture your photos, design your flowers, bake your cake, and style your hair.

Not because you can’t do those things, but because you know the value of having someone help bring your vision to life.

Hiring a professional vow writer is no different.

You’re still the heart and voice behind your vows—I just help you shape the words so they flow clearly, beautifully, and authentically.

Just like a wedding photographer captures your love through images, I help you capture it through words.

Because your wedding vows were never meant for just one day.

They’re meant to steady you on the hard days of marriage—to remind you what’s true and what matters most when life gets heavy.

Your vows become an anchor when distractions, obligations, and struggles try to pull your marriage in different directions.

Your Wedding Vows Aren’t a Writing Test

Your vows aren’t about proving how poetic you can be.

They’re about expressing your heart — the promises you’re making and the kind of love you’ve built together.

Writing vows isn’t about finding the perfect words; it’s about finding the right ones.

The kind that will still speak truth into your marriage 5 years, 10 years, even 50 years down the road.

If putting that into words feels overwhelming, that’s where I come in. 💕
