Wedding Vows From Groom To Bride: A Simple Guide To Help You Write A Touching And Funny Vow For Your Wife
Do you want to make the best ever vow for your bride at the wedding but not sure what to say to her?
This piece will show everything you need to know about writing a very touching wedding vow for the bride.
But, first, let’s consider this story as it holds the key to what you need to help you write a touching vow for your wife.
From an early age, it was abundantly clear that Mike’s future would be so bright. He wasn’t your average kid but he had an old head on young shoulders.
When he was only four years old, he developed an insatiable appetite to learn and understand how things operate and how things interact with each other. By the time he was 7 years old, he was reading books.
Not Dr. Seuss and Diary of A Wimp Kid but business books like Dale Carnegie’s '' How To Win Friends and Influence People'' which he understood and fully embraced, culminating in being a smart little boy.
By the time he was 9 nine years old, friends and family gave nicknamed him ‘’ ''Candy Dollars'' for selling candies to his classmates and making a profit from the initial investment of 50 cents.
In middle and high school, he was always on the honor roll and finally graduated with distinction from the University of Miami.
After graduation, he got several job offers but he settled on one closer to where he lives. It wasn’t as lucrative as the others but he loved his family more than anything else and chose to live right where they were.
He quickly rose up the corporate ladder and became so successful that his parents felt he needed to settle down with the love of his life.
Even though he was successful and had good looks, he never had any luck with women. Rather, he derived joy from his work as he often thought his life was his work.
Ironically, he was the envy of his friends. His friends liked him and admired him a lot but he was hurting deep down within for want of true love.
On a vacation trip to another town, he saw this cute lady who was seated at the back of the bus he was traveling in.
Mike was drawn to her and kept winking at her. So he waved at her and went to get her contact number.
When he returned from his trip, they began to talk and agreed to meet on their first date. After getting to know her, Mike found out that she was very polite, fun to be around, and very caring.
She too had experienced several heartbreaks and decided to give herself some time to really figure out if she was ready to let another man into her heart. Three years into this new relationship, however, they were both sure that they were meant for each other.
So, when Mike finally popped the question, Sandra didn’t hesitate to say yes.
Mike wanted to inspire other couples and young men with his love story. To make it extra special, he decided to capture that in a vow but he wasn’t very great with words.
Thankfully, he got help from his dad who was an accomplished public speaker.
Everyone knew he wasn’t good with words, so they didn’t expect much from him anyway when he began to read out his vows. But he stunned them all after making this heartfelt vow.
Sandra, you mean the world to me. I have been let down so many times and I never thought I would be so blessed to have a precious bride like you.
Before meeting you, I told myself that I wasn’t going to settle with anyone until I was so sure you were the one.
When I winked at you on the bus when I first saw you, I knew you were the one.
Little did I know that we will be standing here today. Of course, it took me a while to tell you that I was going to walk you down the aisle because I only wanted to know we were meant for each other.
Finally, I knew you were the one after seeing how grounded you kept me. I know without a shadow of a doubt that you are the one to stand by me in good times and bad.
I have said that I love you several times, but it takes on a very special meaning on the most memorable day of our lives.
Words are just not enough to tell you how much you mean to me. But I want to reassure you that you are the one I will live for from this day forward as I am very confident that God brought you into my path to show me that true love exists.
Sandra, my beloved grandmother told me a while back that the devil’s workshop lies where true love is. What she meant was that love that’s not encumbered with burdens is not true love after all.
She was right because I have seen and still see very loving couples go through test after test.
We will also have our fair share of ups and downs. So, I promise to love and support you as you always do.
I still want you to know that I will love, honor, and cherish you and do all I can to keep that warm smile on your face because a wonderful woman like you deserve all the love and happiness in this world!
Did you enjoy that? And can you write something close if not better than that vow example for your precious bride?
I bet you can too even if you are as nervous as a cockroach in a hen coop. Other than putting their ideas together logically, I see that most grooms don’t have the confidence to stand before a crowd.
To calm your nerves so you can speak with flair and confidence, you first have to build yourself up mentally because you can have the best vows ever written but if you can communicate them well, your words won’t be as impactful as you wish them to be.
You see, your mind will trigger memories of events where you failed to glitter and that might send a cold shiver down your spine. It’s perfectly normal to be distracted when you remember past events and that might make you feel insecure and a bit jittery.
By developing a positive mental attitude, you will be a step away from calming your fears. The trick here is to know the contents of your vow thoroughly like the back of your hand by practicing it constantly. By doing that, you will be building the inner confidence you need to speak confidently.
Having acknowledged that, the first thing you should do before you even write your vow is to put yourself in the mood for the clever expression of your thoughts and ideas and one of the best ways to do that is by watching a couple of videos about groom vows for the bride.
I scoured the net to look for the best ever wedding vows from bride to groom and I found these video clips to help you write a heartfelt vow for your wife.
Action tip: Before we do that, please grab your pen and paper and write down words, ideas, and phrases you think you can incorporate into your own presentation as you watch the clips.
Here you go... please enjoy the moment and prosper!

I hope those videos give you a fair idea of what to say or what to include in your vows.
Well, a mistake I see grooms make all the time is when they put down their scrambled thoughts and ideas together on paper without first knowing what goes into making a great vow and they often get stuck in the process.
Now, this is what you’ve got to consider after watching a few videos or reading an example you really like.
First and foremost, please ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I want to make a funny or hilarious vow?
- Is making a sentimental or romantic vow something that will suit you best?
- And do I have what it takes to write something short and sweet that has a poetic tone?
- Should I share a simple story of how we met and how the bride has impacted my life for the better?
- What if I do a combination of the different styles? By this, I mean taking bits and pieces of storytelling, poetic, romantic, and rolling it all into a single piece.
Answering those questions will ensure that you pick a style you are comfortable with.
For example, if you are a naturally funny person, then you might consider making a hilarious wedding vow for your precious bride.
Again, if you are a pretty romantic dude, then of course making a heartfelt or sentimental vow might be your target.
If you are a very religious person or a born-again Christian, you may stick to quotes from the Bible.
This is what I would have chosen if I were in your shoes…Guess what? I would have opted for a fusion of all the styles I showed you above.
Wondering why I said that? A mix of those choices will not make your vows very pleasant to listen to but also capture your love story succinctly.
I know how important vows are in every marriage, so at this point, I want to share with you proven and simple tips and ideas you can use to easily write any kind of wedding vow you wish to make.
First, let’s consider this: How to write and make a humorous vow.
A lot of groomsmen think they have to possess the ''funny gene'' to tickle the wedding guests with excitement. Good for you if God gave you a funny bone when he created you!
But seriously, how many of us can put smiles on the faces of people even when they are yawning with boredom and worry?
Can you do that, Mr. Groom?
Don’t worry if you don’t have that skill because you can use these simple tips below to write one.
Starting from when you first met till when you started dating to when you got married, write down funny moments that have happened throughout your life.
It could also be something funny you said or someone said about your relationship.
This is what I want you to do now. Sit still and recall some of those interesting moments.
Then write down as many ideas that come to you and pick two or three anecdotes that made you so happy.
If your memory stinks like a goldfish, ask the bride about those details since every woman is like a computer memory when it comes to retaining information about relationships.
What if she’s forgotten about them? Then, you both have to brainstorm. Remember, that itself will be a labor of love and will also deepen our love for each other in a very special way.
Do you have anything in common with the bride like hobbies, food, favorite movies, entertainers, etc… then you can make something funny out of it!
By the way, one-liners can help add a special touch to your vows even if you are as serious as a dead man.
Here are some extracts you can use.
''I promise to unclog the tub, even though only one of us has long hair."
"I vow never to steal your covers unless you are hogging them."
"I vow to protect you from spiders as long as we both shall live.''
''I vow to make you really laugh out loud until you…''
''I vow to always try one bite of any meal you create''
Now, let’s use this quote: "I vow to protect you from spiders as long as we both shall live.''
As you read, please carefully take note of how I am going to combine that quote with a funny little story.
You all know Stella to be a brave woman but I am not too sure why she’s so scared of little spiders.
Once, I was in town, when I got a distressed call from her.
She was hollering that I return back home immediately because she’s seen a spider the size of this marble. When I got back home, it was obvious that it was a giant spider. But strangely, the shouting has ceased.
So I rummaged through the house to find out that she’d locked up herself in the wardrobe. I had to kill them before she got out of her hideout after being stuck there for close to 2 hours.
So, honey, on the most beautiful day of our life, I want to promise you that I will sweep all three rooms every day so you don’t even find a spider because I can’t afford to come back home when we are still in the office.
All kidding aside, I promise to fiercely love you with every fiber of my being…
That made you smile, right? That’s how it’s done.
But always find a way to interject to add some strong and serious words in there else some folks will doubt the sincerity of your vow.
That being said, let’s look at how to write a vow with a sentimental touch.
It’s simple than you think yet most grooms don’t know-how. How sad this is!
You can use cute quotes, one-liners, or quotes from movies or songs or your own stories.
To use stories, you can tailor your vow with any of these stories.
- Stories about who you were before meeting her, who you became after meeting him, and who you are now.
- Stories about the challenges you faced and how you made it through. For example, did any of you face any life-threatening disease and how did you recover?
Please share brief details of how you stuck by her in hard times and that will inspire other couples too. Remember, your delivery is also an avenue for restoring hope for hurting relationships.
Songs can also put you in the mood for brainstorming new ideas for ideas that really touch the heart.
For example, you can use this tune: Boats and Birds by Gregory and Hawk…
A snippet of the lyrics
If you’ll be my star
I’ll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night….I live to let you shine.
We can make a vow out of that and it would be like this…
Sarah, I can’t live without you
You promised to be there for me and I want you to know that will love you and help bring out the best in you because a woman is the reflection of her man…I love you so much
Do you have a good singing voice? I have never seen any groom sing his vow. But if you do it purposely, it will be a hit. Believe me, it definitely will if you give it a try.
I talked earlier about spiffing up your vow with movie quotes and here a couple you can infuse into your promises of commitment.
This is Paige’s vow to Leo his bride from the movie ''The Vow''
I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they are not, to agree to disagree about red velvet cake, to live within the warmth of your heart, and always call it home.
This is another by Sidney Williams from the movie ''Rachel Getting Married''
"All that I ever wanted was to just hear music, and when I met you, I heard you. And, Rachel, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you for marrying me." –
This is also beautiful by all standards and you may model yours after it!
''I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” —Harry Burns, When Harry Met Sally
You may model yours after it by coming up with at least three things you love about her
- I love the bride because….
- I love my wife because…
- I really adore her because….
Fill in the blanks above with stuff she does that makes you love her more. Then scroll up the page to re-look at that example and use it as a guide to writing yours.
By the way, if you are a Christian or a religious person, you can include some verses from the bible or Holy Scripture like these ones:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hope, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
And now these three remain faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8
Using any of that, we can write a simple vow like this one:
Sarah, I know for a fact that love is God’s greatest gift to man because scripture tells us in I Corinthians 13 that we are worthless if we don’t have love. You mean everything to me and I want you I will love you till the end of time.
Did you see how I used the popular wedding reading: I Corinthians 13 to write something short?
Dear Handsome Groom,
There’s nothing touching other than locking hands with the bride and looking into her eyes as you exchange vows.
Most grooms have said that they cried with joy when they made their vows.
Nevertheless, it’s not so easy to eloquently put together what you feel about the bride and what you both want to achieve as you meld your lives together.
Even if you wish to make a funny vow, you certainly have to incorporate some serious elements in it since vows are meant to a sacred expression of your love for someone you just can’t live without.
Unfortunately, most grooms concentrate on the consuming aspects of the wedding that they forget about their vows until it’s a few days or even hours to the wedding.
That shouldn’t happen to you because you will come under intense pressure if you do and you will come across as someone who didn’t prepare for this honorable and sacred duty.
I want your wedding vows to be unique, sweet, and memorable so that the bride will love and adore you more.
This is a rare chance to publicly tell everyone how much you love her.
