Romantic Wedding Vows

From the moment I saw you, I knew my world was about to change. I vow to keep choosing you in every lifetime, in every version of this story. I promise to love you not only when life feels perfect, but even more when it doesn’t. Your heart is my home, and I will spend my life learning every corner of it.

I vow to wake up every day with gratitude that I get to love you. I promise to hold your hand through the chaos, to be your calm when things get loud. When you stumble, I’ll steady you; when you soar, I’ll cheer you on. With every breath, I will remind you how cherished you are.

I vow to love you with the same excitement I felt on our first date. I’ll keep falling in love with your smile, your quirks, your voice saying my name. You are the spark in my soul, and I will protect that flame every day we’re given. I choose you—and I’ll never stop choosing you.

I promise to be the soft place you land and the strength that holds you up. In you, I have found my greatest adventure and my truest peace. I vow to create a love that is safe, bold, and full of joy. We are a team, a story, a home—and I vow to honor that always.

In the silence between words, I vow to hear your heart. In the spaces between days, I promise to see you—not just as you are, but as the person you’re becoming. I will grow with you, laugh with you, and never stop marveling at your soul. You are my once-in-a-lifetime.

I vow to always bring light to your darkest days and never take for granted the way you bring light to mine. I promise to support your dreams like they’re my own and to believe in you when you forget to believe in yourself. We’ll build something unshakable—with trust, tenderness, and time.

You are the rhythm in my favorite songs, the calm in my chaos, and the best part of every day. I vow to write a love story with you that is full of wonder, patience, and fierce devotion. I will celebrate you, fight for you, and grow old beside you—with joy in my heart and your name on my lips.

I vow to show up for you—on good days and on the ones we don’t see coming. I promise to love you through tired mornings, hard conversations, and quiet evenings. We will build a life out of the small things, the steady things—the ones that matter most.

You are the moonlight in my darkness and the sun rising in my soul. I vow to never stop chasing joy with you, never stop dancing in the kitchen or kissing you mid-sentence. I will give you my love like a lighthouse—constant, safe, and always guiding you home.

You are the most extraordinary part of my very ordinary life. I vow to find beauty with you in the mundane, to laugh at our messes, and to make memories that feel like poetry. Together, we make magic out of Mondays, and I promise to never take that for granted.

I promise to be honest, even when it’s hard, and to hold space for you to be fully yourself. I vow to celebrate your wins, ease your fears, and be your calm in every storm. This is my vow: to be yours completely—with open hands, open heart, and open eyes.

I vow to kiss you goodnight, even when we’re tired. I vow to fight fair, to forgive quickly, and to love loudly. Our love will not be perfect, but it will be real, raw, and ours. And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Beautiful Wedding Vows In The Form Of Poems

“How Do I Love Thee?” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Sonnet 43)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

“i carry your heart with me” by E.E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

“She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

“Love’s Philosophy” by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle—
Why not I with thine?

“To My Dear and Loving Husband” by Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

“The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” by Christopher Marlowe
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies.

“A Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

“Somewhere I Have Never Travelled” by E.E. Cummings
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skillfully,mysteriously)her first rose

“Sonnet 116” by William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.

“Faithful” by Alice Cary
True love is but a humble, low-born thing,
And hath its food served up in earthen ware;
It is a thing to walk with, hand in hand,
Through the every-dayness of this workday world,
Baring its tender feet to every flint,
Yet loving on, not knowing it is hard.

I promise to listen when you talk about things I don’t understand, like fantasy football or cryptocurrency. I may nod a lot and ask “Really?” to fill the silence, but I’ll be there—and that’s what counts.

I vow to share the covers, the remote, and occasionally, even my snacks. But let’s be honest—my fries are still my fries, and we will be negotiating cookie rights well into our 80s.
