Why a shed tear when you could share a laugh at the altar?
By Tamara Sanon — Last updated on Dec 02, 2022
Traditional wedding vows are great if you’re a traditional couple. If you’re not, maybe you should forgo the traditional route altogether.
Wedding vows don’t always have to be extremely romantic. Your vows symbolize a lifelong promise to always love one another. Going against tradition doesn’t make the vows any less heartfelt or significant. Your vows should reflect you and your future spouse and be authentic to your relationship.
If you guys are constantly making jokes and always laughing, there’s a strong sense of humor within your relationship.
Funny wedding vows can be an authentic representation of your love and your relationship with each other — and leave your guests laughing.
You don’t have to turn your wedding ceremony into a full-on comedy stand-up show, but why not spice up the traditional vows with a few jokes here and there?
I’ve been a bridesmaid quite a few times and I can honestly say that the audience loves it when the couple or officiant makes a joke. I think funny vows have a way of making the couple reminisce on all the good times they’ve shared while keeping the audience entertained. Humor enhances the whole atmosphere.
It’s not always that easy to come up with the perfect wedding vows. Writing your own vows is a daunting task. How do you even begin to write all the reasons you love someone or all the lifelong promises you intend to keep?
Remember it’s your day and if you want to be funny, do just that.
If you need a little inspiration, check our list of the best funny wedding vows:
