Hi, friend!

Did you recently get engaged?

First of all — congratulations!

I hope you’ve had time to soak it in and celebrate this sweet season.

Now let me guess…

You really want to write your own wedding vows — but every time you sit down to start…

Your mind goes completely blank.

If you’re wondering how to start writing your wedding vows or what you’re even supposed to say…

You. Are. Not. Alone.

Putting your biggest feelings into a few meaningful paragraphs (that you’ll read aloud in front of your loved ones 😅) can feel like a lot.

That’s where these wedding vow writing prompts come in.

Why Wedding Vow Writing Prompts Work

Most people don’t struggle with their vows because they don’t love their partner enough.

They struggle because:

• they don’t know where to start

• they’re trying to sound “perfect”

• they forget their real story is already beautiful

The right prompts help you:

✔ get out of your head
✔ reconnect to your relationship
✔ find words that feel like you

1. Map Out Your Relationship Journey

Think back to the moments that shaped your relationship:

• your first date

• when you realized this is different

• the hard seasons you walked through together

• the ways you’ve grown as a couple

Ask yourself:

1. What have we learned together?

2. Where are we going?

3. Why am I choosing this person for life?

These answers become the heart behind your vows.

2. Gather Meaningful Words & Shared Favorites

What phrases, quotes, songs, or inside jokes belong to your relationship?

Is there a line from a movie or a motto you always say to each other?

For example — in my own marriage, my husband and I used to say Nike’s motto:

“Every damn day.”

We started saying it during a difficult season of relentless medical challenges.

When he felt discouraged, I’d remind him:

I choose you every damn day.

By the time I wrote my vows, that phrase wasn’t just a quote — it was a promise we had already been living.

And those are the kinds of words that make vows unforgettable.

3. Reflect on What Makes Your Partner Irreplaceable

This is where your vows become deeply personal.

Ask yourself:

1. What do they bring into my life that no one else can?

2. What would I miss if they weren’t beside me?

3. What about them makes forever feel easy?

Is it their steadiness?
Their humor?
Their loyalty?
The way they pray for you?

These reflections naturally lead into your promises.

How to Turn Your Answers Into Actual Wedding Vows

Once you’ve journaled through these prompts:

1. Highlight the sentences that feel the most like you

2. Group similar ideas together

3. Turn them into:

• your story

• what you love about them

• the promises you’re making

And just like that — you’re no longer staring at a blank page.
