Non-traditional Wedding Vows

Wedding vows are not just fancy poetic words, but are meaningful promises which are said and kept. Generally traditional vows are opted for but if you wish to do something different, you can opt for something non-traditional and different like making your own verses, funny vows, etc. Here are some examples that you can use.

I love you. You are my best friend.
Today I give myself to you in marriage.
I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you,
and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
when life seems easy and when it seems hard,
when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.
I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard
These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.

These things I promise I will do
That life may grant you ample grace
Because I love and cherish you:

I vow to treasure what is true
That I might touch whom I embrace:
These things I promise I will do.

I'll build a garden in your view
That with sweet fruit will stone replace
Because I love and cherish you.

I vow to love each day anew,
For love must dance through time and space:
These things I promise I will do.

I vow to make your terrors few
And then with you those demons face
Because I love and cherish you.

And now, as we make one of two,
A passage we cannot retrace,
These things I promise I will do
Because I love and cherish you.

Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again.
I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my life with you,
Caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you in all life has for us
And I vow to be true and faithful for as long as we both shall live.

As we stand beside the ocean tide, may our love always be as
constant and unchanging as these never-ending waves that pour
beneath our feet, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea; your love
came softly upon my heart, just as the foam comes softly upon the
sand, and just as there will never be a morning without the ocean's flow,

so there will never be a day without my love for you. I pledge myself to
you this day. Our love will be as unchanging and dependable as the tide;
as these waters nourish the earth and sustain life, may my constant devotion
nourish and sustain you until the end of time.

(Name), our miracle lies in the path we have chosen together.
I enter into this marriage with you, knowing that the true magic of love is not to avoid changes but to navigate them successfully.

Let us commit to the miracle of making each day work together.
Respecting each other, we commit to live our lives together for all the days to come.
I ask you to share this world with me, for good and ill. Be my partner, and I will be yours.

I promise to give you the best of myself and to ask of you no more than you can give.
I promise to accept you the way you are.
I fell in love with you for the qualities, abilities, and outlook on life that you have,
and won't try to reshape you in a different image.

I promise to respect you as a person with your own interests, desires, and needs,
and to realize that those are sometimes different but no less important than my own.
I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you see through the window of my personal
world into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as we both change
in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.
And finally, I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give
and all I feel inside in the only way I know how... completely and forever.

Whichever option you choose, be sincere and mean each word you say because if your vows are heartfelt, even something simple will be unique.
