Short wedding vows can land harder than long ones. Fewer words, more weight. Here is how to make every word count.
Lead with one memory
One specific moment beats a list of adjectives.
Make one promise
A single, concrete promise — something you will actually do — beats five vague ones.
Read it aloud
If it takes longer than 45 seconds to read aloud, cut. The strongest short vows feel like a whisper, not a speech.
Short wedding vow examples
“You are my favorite person and my best decision. I promise to keep choosing you, always.”
“I choose you, today and every day after.”
