Must-See Guide for a Unique "Vow" Creation: 5 Patterns for Your Ceremony!

[Ceremony in Front of Others] What Will Your Vows Be?

Unlike church ceremonies or Shinto ceremonies where you pledge to God, in a ceremony in front of others, you vow eternal love to your guests.

The flowing of the ceremony, the performances, the decorations, and the venue are all free to choose, making it an increasingly popular wedding style in recent years ♡

The highlight of a ceremony in front of others is creating your own original vows and reading them aloud!

The vows crafted by the bride and groom can be unique, touching, or personalized, varying from couple to couple＊

Vows that reflect your personalities will leave a lasting impression on everyone present, creating a beautiful atmosphere ♡

That said, being told to suddenly come up with original vows can be challenging.

So this time, let’s introduce popular ways to create vows for ceremonies in front of others＊

How to Create Vows 1＊Arrange a Traditional Phrase

First, here’s an idea to arrange a classic vow that you might hear from a priest at a church ceremony＊

For example, starting with the phrase, “I vow to love and support each other in sickness and in health throughout our lives”,

you could add your favorite line like “We will build the happiest household in the world together!” to make it special ♩

This way, you can have a sense of originality while also crafting a vow with the dignified feel of a church ceremony ♡

How to Create Vows 2＊Create an Acrostic Poem

A popular recent trend is to use an acrostic poem for your vows＊

For instance, if the groom’s name is Masaya and the bride’s name is Tomomi....

“Ma” I will never forget my gratitude every day.

“Sa” I will tightly bind the purse strings.

“Ya” I will always keep my promises.

“To” We might occasionally argue but will quickly make up.

“Mo” I will cook delicious food that you can eat heartily.

“Mi” We will become a couple loved by everyone.

You can create sentences using the initials in this way.

Creating vows from the special names given by your parents can also be a wonderful way to show appreciation to them ♡

How to Create Vows 3＊Incorporate Favorite Lyrics

Using lyrics from your favorite songs as inspiration for your vows is also a lovely idea＊

For example, here’s a vow inspired by Miyuki Nakajima’s famous song “Thread”♩

“The vertical thread is ○○ (groom), and the horizontal thread is ○○ (bride). Meeting the ones we were meant to meet, we will cherish this happiness for a lifetime.”

Couples who share a common favorite artist might find it great to pull lyrics from their songs for their vows too ♡

How to Create Vows 4＊Incorporate What You Love About Each Other

Another recommended way is to include what you love about your partner in your vows ♡

“What parts of each other were you attracted to? What was the deciding factor for getting married?”

Structuring your vows around these points will result in a cute and love-filled message◎

For example, “I fell in love with ○○'s cute smile. I vow to make ○○ happy and to love them forever so I can continue to gaze at that smile for a lifetime."

You’re sure to hear cheers of “Woo-hoo!” from the guests♩

How to Create Vows 5＊List Goals

Lastly, here’s a popular and classic method for creating vows＊

That’s to list the goals you have after getting married! For example:

◆ Goal 1: We will cherish each other’s parents and families.

◆ Goal 2: We will go out for delicious meals on our wedding anniversary.

◆ Goal 3: We will say “thank you” and “I’m sorry” right away.

In this way, let’s pick up things that will be important for the two of you going forward＊

With the goals and resolutions you vowed in front of guests, you’ll surely be able to stay strong and keep your focus no matter what happens in the future ♡
