Dinner, no questions asked, forever after

Ava, tonight, I am thinking about that night when my plans fell apart, and you showed up with dinner and no questions. That simple act showed me the kindness and grace you carry with you every day, and it’s one of the many reasons I love you so much. You have a way of making the hard days smaller just by walking in the room. I promise to be the one who reaches out first after a fight, because I believe our love is stronger than any disagreement. I vow to build our life on trust and faith, to stand with you as partners through the joys and challenges ahead. I promise to listen, to hold your hand in tough times, and to celebrate your victories as if they were my own. With God’s guidance, I commit myself to loving you with patience and kindness, to grow together in faith, and to never take for granted the gift of your presence in my life. Today, I give you my heart and my hand, ready to walk this path with you, always.

Tips for short vows

Before you write
  • Say the thing you struggle to say out loud. Short vows for her work best when you lead with the honest feeling, not the joke you're hiding behind.
  • One specific thing you love about her beats ten compliments. "The way you hum when you cook" lands harder than "you're beautiful."
  • Make a promise she'll hold you to. Short means memorable, give her one line she'll quote back to you for years.
  • Keep it warm and plainspoken. She doesn't need poetry; she needs to hear you mean it.

Common questions

How long should short wedding vows for her be?

About 30 to 45 seconds, roughly 50 to 100 words. Short enough to deliver without your voice breaking, long enough to say one true thing about her and make one real promise.

What should a groom say in short vows to his bride?

Lead with why you chose her, name one specific thing you love, and make one promise you'll keep. Skip the grand declarations, one honest, specific line about her will move her more. Our free tool can turn your answers into a heartfelt short draft.

How do I make short vows to her feel personal, not generic?

Use a detail only you would know, a habit, a nickname, a moment you both remember, instead of "you're my everything." Specifics prove you were paying attention, which is the most romantic thing a short vow can do.

Should short vows for her be romantic or funny?

Whatever's true to you two, though most grooms land on mostly warm with maybe one light line. In a short vow, pick one register and commit; trying to be both funny and romantic in 60 words usually dilutes both.
