Wedding vows

Your vows don’t need to be long or perfect — just honest. They really only need to say three things:

✔ What you love about your partner
✔ What they’ve meant to your life
✔ What you promise for the future

This is what I tell couples during ceremonies across Southern Arizona — from desert elopements to elegant chapel weddings — simple vows are often the most powerful.

(Name), you are my (best friend/safe place/favorite adventure).

I love you because (a real, specific reason).

You’ve taught me (something you’ve learned through them).

Today, I promise to (real, human promise — not perfection, but effort).

With God’s help (or “with all that I am”), I choose you — today and every day. 

Heartfelt & Romantic:
“Jacob, you’re my calm in every storm. I love the way you see good in people. I promise to speak kindly, forgive quickly, and choose us — no matter what comes.”

Faith-Based (Perfect for Christian Ceremonies):
“Sarah, I believe God wrote you into my story on purpose. I promise to love you as Christ loves the church — patiently and faithfully. I’ll pray with you, laugh with you, and walk beside you through every season.”

Real & Funny:
“Daniel, I love you more than coffee — and that’s saying a lot. I promise to always be on your side, even when we’re lost and you refuse to ask for directions.”
