Who says a wedding has to be a somber and serious occasion? More and more couples are expressing their humorous sides at their wedding by writing their own funny wedding vows. Funny wedding vows run the gamut from personal little phrases cleverly inserted into their vows such as “I promise to always make chocolate cake for you” to wedding vows inspired by humorous writers, witty quotes and even Dr. Seuss.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Start by sitting down with your future partner and talk about some of your most humorous moments together. What are some occasions that made you laugh? Write them down so you can potentially use them as material for your wedding vows.
Step2
What are your favorite jokes as a couple? Brainstorm the best jokes you've shared together and write them down.
Step3
Think about funny books you've read or movies you've seen. Borrow a bit of humor from these for your wedding vows.
Step4
Share a funny experience you had as a couple when you write your wedding vows. Your guests will love getting a glimpse of special times you've shared together.
Step5
There are various websites available online that are designed to help you write wedding vows. If you get stuck, visit one of these sites for ideas.

Tips & Warnings

  • It's best to have short humorous clips in your wedding vows rather than making the entire ceremony funny.
  • Make sure the humor is appropriate and unlikely to offend your guests.. This is not the time for raunchy, off color jokes, vulgar language, or inside humor.
