Key Takeaways
Marriage vows come in all shapes and sizes these days. Practically anything goes, as long as you are sincere as you express your love to your beloved and make your promises to one another. Whether you are conservative or contemporary, there is something for everyone. And if you are looking for that cute appeal to give your marriage ceremony an endearing edge, then these examples should get you going and give you some ideas to use in your own vows:
1. I promise to not make you go to Disney world for every vacation…
“I promise to be your best friend. To have your back no matter what. To let you fight your own battles, but will tap in when you need help. I promise to share the covers and make sure I leave some hot water for you. To love your family as if they were my own. To not make you go to Disney world for every vacation. I promise to try new experiences as long as it doesn’t have cheese on it. To hold your hand every chance I get. I promise to defend you to others, even if you are wrong. I promise to put your happiness before mine.”
2. I promise to take care of you when you are old, but…
“I promise to take care of you when you are old, but the first time you hit me with your cane, I’ll wash your dentures in toilet water.”
3. I promise to hold your hand in the car…
“ I promise to make you laugh, be honest, patient, kind and forgiving, hold your hand in the car, always kiss you goodnight, trust you, write you love notes, never lose faith, encourage you, listen to you, tell you my dreams, try to see the best before the worst, comfort you, be devoted, respect you, use kind words, be your lover and friend, make memories and love you always.”
4. I want to be the reason you…. walk into a pole!
“ I want to be the reason you look down at your phone and smile. Then walk into a pole.”
5. I can’t promise to fix all your problems…
“ I can’t promise that I will make all your problems go away but I can promise that you will always find me beside yourself through your struggles, and never alone.”
6. I promise to be your partner in crime…
“I’m not perfect. But I love you. I really do. And I promise to be your best friend, your partner in crime and your lover. Forever.”
7. Only you can…
“There’s a LOVE that only you can give, a SMILE that only your lips can show, a TWINKLE that can only be seen in your eyes and my LIFE that only you can COMPLETE.”
8. What’s Mickey without Minnie…
“ What’s Mickey without Minnie, what’s Tigger without Pooh, what’s Donald without Daisy, that’s me without you. And when Elmo isn’t ticklish, and pooh bear hates honey, when Tigger stops bouncing and Goofy isn’t funny; when Peter Pan can’t fly, and Simba never roars, when Alice in wonderland can’t fit through small doors, when Dumbo’s ears are small, and happily ever after isn’t true, that’s when I’ll stop loving you.”
9. May we have many adventures and grow old together…
“I choose you. To stand by your side and sleep in your arms. To be joy to your heart and food for your soul. To learn with you and grow with you, even as time and life change us both. I promise to smile with you through the good times and share your struggles in the bad times. I promise to respect you and cherish you as an individual, a partner, and an equal, knowing that we do not complete, but complement each other. May we have many adventures and grow old together.”
10. One lifetime with you could never be enough…
“I promise to encourage your compassion, because that is what makes you unique and wonderful. I promise to help shoulder our challenges, for there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together. I promise to be your partner in all things, not possessing you, but working with you as a part of the whole. Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust, for one lifetime with you could never be enough. This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things.”
11. A part of me cannot believe that I’m the one who gets to marry you…
“You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I’m the one who gets to marry you.”
12. I see these vows not as promises but as privileges…
“I see these vows not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you.”
13. I would marry you for your risotto alone…
“Our open attitude toward finding adventure together in life is something that I cherish. I love it even more when those great experiences take the form of us making up a home-cooked meal together with a lot of great wine and music. I would marry you for your risotto alone!”
14. When I met you I learned what it was to dream…
“I’ve always had goals, aspirations, things I wanted to do. But when I met you, I learned what it was to dream. You dreamed of travelling, but not just out of the state; you dreamed of visiting France, Switzerland and places I’ve only read about. I’ve learned to dream of the things I deserve.”

Real people. Real relationships. No judgment.
Is it okay if my vows are really simple and not emotional or poetic? I’m not great with words.
