Here are a few tips that are sure to help you write wedding vows to make him cry:
01Before you write your vows, it is important to have a talk with your partner. Establish approximately how long each vow will be, and what inside jokes you would like to keep to yourselves.
02A mistake many people make is waiting until the last minute to write their vows and end up feeling super pressured. Give yourself at least a month to write, practice reciting and even memorize your vows.
03Do not rush into writing. Take a moment to reflect on how you feel about him in a nice, quiet place.

04If the words aren’t pouring out of you immediately, don’t worry, it is not uncommon. Make a list of all your thoughts and feelings and all your hopes and desires for the marriage.
05Take all the points from your list and try to turn them into sentences.
06Once you have decided which points to keep and which points to discard, it is time to craft your first draft.
07Make sure the point of what you are saying is ‘I love you’. Do not ramble, your message can get lost.
08Be sure to acknowledge what brought you guys together in the first place, and anyone or anything that has helped to make your relationship stronger
09Throw in promises of being there for the highs and lows, and through thick and thin.

10Quoting other persons is fine, just don’t saturate your vows with a ton of clichés or song lyrics
11Avoid making promises you can’t keep. That takes away from the sincerity of the vows.
12Don’t worry about sounding cheesy in front of everyone. These vows are for him.
13Keep your vows hidden. This way his reaction will be more genuine.
14Practice reading the vows aloud to a trusted friend. They will be able to tell you if your point is coming across clearly.

01To Alex, My One True Love
From the day I met you, I knew this was going to be something special. I’ve always admired how you acted towards your friends, family and even complete strangers.
You have always supported and helped me to grow as a woman. I have you to thank for boosting my self-confidence and for reminding me that I’m smart, beautiful and loveable even on my worst days.
For this reason, I am proud to make you my husband. I promise to love and cherish you always and keep the love and fire you have in your heart burning strong.
I promise to support you during the good times and the bad and to never let this world break your kind, loving spirit.
Alex, you are my one true love, my rock, and my peace. Thank you for being a part of my life now, and forever.
You are my heart, my light, my love, and my soulmate. You make all the wrong things right, and you always manage to put a smile on my face.
Whenever I am with you, I get this feeling that words cannot describe. It is something that I would hate to lose and that’s why I pledge my heart and soul to you.
I pledge to stand by you always, no matter the consequences. And to let you know when you’re wrong.
I pledge to uplift and honor you, even after you make me mad by leaving the toilet seat up.
I pledge to be open and honest with you, even when it might be hard to hear.
And I pledge to love you always, even when we’re old and grey and today is a distant memory.

I love you with all my heart and soul, and every fiber of my being.
There is no man like you on this planet, so fortunately, I have the best one.

04To Jordan, My soulmate
I never thought that I would end up marrying the son of my mom’s best friend, but here we are today in front of everyone we know and love, taking this step to become man and wife.
Honestly, I hated you growing up. You were always breaking my dolls and ruining my coloring books and I dreaded Aunty Leslie coming over because I knew her little monster would be right behind her.
But as we got older, you grew up to be the most handsome, caring young man who always made sure I was doing okay and that the boys were treating me well at school.
I never knew that I would meet my husband at the age of three, but I am truly honored that I got to watch you grow up and become the man of my dreams.
I love you Jordan. I hadn’t always, but I know I will from this point until the end of time.
