Writing your own wedding vows can feel both exciting and intimidating. It’s a beautiful chance to express your love in your own words—but many couples find themselves staring at a blank page, wondering, “Where do I even begin?”
As your celebrant, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—and yes, that includes your vows!
The good news is: there’s no right or wrong way to write personalised vows. What matters most is that they’re genuine, heartfelt, and true to who you are as a couple.
Vows are more than just words—they’re the promises you’re making to your partner as you begin your marriage. They’re not a performance or a speech for the guests.
🎤 Your vows are not the place to thank your parents, bridal party, or suppliers—that’s what your wedding speech at the reception is for.
💍 Your vows are private words shared publicly—directed to the person standing in front of you, not the people seated behind them.
They reflect:
Some vows are poetic and romantic. Others are simple, sweet, or even funny. The best ones are simply real and personal.
Here’s a simple structure that many couples find helpful:
💡 Tip: Aim for around 150–250 words. Spoken aloud, this is just 1–2 minutes—short enough to stay focused, long enough to make an impact.
If you’re not sure where to begin, try using these thought-starters:
Your vows don’t need to be polished or poetic—they just need to be yours. Speak from the heart, be true to your voice, and remember: you’re talking to your partner, not delivering a speech.
As your celebrant, I’ll guide you through the process and help create a moment that’s personal, relaxed, and deeply meaningful.
If you're unsure where to start or want feedback on your draft, I'm always happy to offer gentle guidance and support.

“Once we’ve chosen a celebrant, do we still need to submit paperwork to the government ourselves?”
The short answer is: No—you don’t.
Your Celebrant Takes Care of the Legal Lodgement
As an authorised celebrant in Australia, it’s my legal responsibility to manage and lodge all your marriage documentation with the relevant state registry.
Absolutely—you can get legally married without having a traditional wedding ceremony.
As a Commonwealth-registered celebrant based in Perth, I often work with couples who prefer a simpler, no-fuss approach to getting married. Whether you're planning a big celebration later, keeping things private, or just want to be legally married without the bells and whistles, you don’t need a wedding to make it official.
Yes—your family member can be your witness at your wedding or legal marriage registration in Australia, as long as they meet a few simple requirements.
As a Commonwealth-registered celebrant, I often get asked this question—especially by couples planning a small, intimate ceremony or a legals-only marriage. The good news is that the rules around witnesses are flexible and inclusive.
