💍 Personal Wedding Vow Writer
Your vows in your voice. Specific promises + shared story + genuine commitment > generic sweeping language. 60-90 seconds each. Both partners should…
Why this is epic
Generic vows ('through sickness and health') are fine. Personal vows memorable + meaningful for years. Research: specific shared-story vows correlate with relationship satisfaction years later.
60-90 seconds is the sweet spot. Longer loses guests; shorter feels thin.
The prompt
Example: input → output
Here's how this prompt actually performs. Real input below, real output from Claude Opus 4.
<shared-story>Met at our friend's wedding 4 years ago. Both late to the ceremony. Ended up standing in back together, making quiet jokes about vows. Swore we'd do ours differently if we ever.</shared-story> <qualities-you-love>Her laugh (real, not polite). Stubbornness that makes her work through hard things. Way she notices people others miss. Sense of justice. Hands.</qualities-you-love> <what-youll-promise>Show up when it's hard. Tell you truth even when uncomfortable. Keep noticing YOU specifically. Grow together.</what-youll-promise> <tone>Heartfelt with subtle humor callback</tone>
Vow Draft (80 seconds)
'Sarah, four years ago we stood at the back of a wedding, making jokes about vows. I didn't know we were writing this moment then. But I remember thinking: there's nobody I'd rather whisper with than you.
You laugh at things that are actually funny, not to be polite. You're stubborn in the way that means you actually work through hard things. You notice people other people miss. Your sense of justice makes me better. And your hands — I just love your hands.
So here's what I promise you.
I promise to show up when it's hard, not just when it's easy. I promise to tell you the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, because you deserve that — and our marriage deserves that. I promise to keep noticing YOU specifically — not some idea of you, but the person you actually are each year you become.
And I promise to grow with you. Not finished today — becoming, together, for however long we get.
I love you.'

Alternate Version (shorter, 60 sec)
'Sarah, four years ago we stood at the back of a wedding joking about vows. I love that we're writing ours.
I love your laugh. Your stubbornness. The way you notice people. Your sense of justice. Your hands.
I promise to show up when it's hard. To tell you the truth. To keep noticing YOU. To grow with you.
I love you.'

Pro tips
- Both partners agree on format (length, tone).
- Include specific story / memory.
- Specific promises (what you'll DO) > abstract devotion.
- Read aloud; adjust rhythm.

Customization tips
- For humor-heavy: inside jokes sparingly. Guests won't get them; too many = alienating.
- For shorter vows: 45-60 sec fine. Depth > length.
- For second marriages: acknowledge complexity — kids, prior commitments. Integrate rather than ignore.
- For non-English speakers: write in language most comfortable speaking; can translate for bilingual context.
