Searching for the perfect wedding vows that balance tradition with personality? Look no further than "vow volleys," this year's refreshing trend for couples who want custom vows without writing them separately.
Vow volleys create a beautiful rhythm to your ceremony through alternating promises—you say something, your partner responds with their promise, and back and forth you go. This collaborative approach solves the common challenge of vow imbalance while letting both your personalities shine through. As a wedding officiant who's helped countless couples craft their perfect ceremony, I've seen firsthand how this format creates memorable moments that authentically capture relationships.
The beauty of vow volleys lies in their versatility. You can start with traditional elements like promising faithfulness and support before transitioning into personalized pledges that reflect your unique bond. In this episode, my husband Nick joins me to demonstrate a real example from a recent ceremony, where promises range from the profound ("I will be faithful to you and give you all my heart") to the sweetly specific ("I promise to always make you heart pizzas that say I love you" and "I promise to always share the remote").
Whether you're just starting to think about your ceremony or feeling stuck with traditional vow options, this episode offers practical inspiration for creating vows that feel authentic and balanced. Consider how vow volleys might work for your wedding, and tune in next week when I'll share some of the best lines from personal vows I've witnessed throughout my career as an officiant. Subscribe now and discover how your vows can become the most meaningful part of your wedding day!
