Here are seven examples of unique, nondenominational wedding vows to inspire you and help you find the perfect words to say on your special day.
Adventure is Out There!
For the couple who loves to travel and explore new places together, a vow about adventure is perfect.

This vow is a great way to express your shared love of adventure and your commitment to exploring the world together.
Partners — Officially!
A vow about becoming partners is a great option for couples who see their relationship as a true partnership.
I vow to be your partner in all things, to support you in your dreams and goals, and to work together to build a life that we both love. I promise to be your equal in every way, and to always treat you with love, respect, and kindness.

Pinky Promise
We call this one the Pinky Promise because it’s a heartfelt way to express your unwavering commitment to your partner — much like those childhood promises made on the playground!
I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in all of your dreams and aspirations, and to be your partner in all things. I promise to be your rock, your confidant, and your best friend.

I am grateful for you, for the way you make me feel, for the love you give me, and for the life we share. I promise to always show my gratitude, to never take you for granted, and to cherish every moment we have together. I promise to be your partner in all things, to support you in all of your dreams and aspirations, and to love you for all eternity.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
If you and your partner share a love for humor, consider incorporating your sense of humor into your wedding vows.
I promise to always make you laugh, even on the toughest days. I promise to never take life too seriously and to always find joy in the little things. I promise to be your partner in all things, to support you through the ups and downs, and to love you with a smile on my face."
This vow is a fun and lighthearted way to express your love and commitment to each other.
