36 Funny Wedding Vows to Add to Your Personalised Ceremony

No reason why your ceremony should be a sombre, serious affair. Lighten the mood with these moment making funny vows.

Personalised wedding vows are one of our favourite ways to make a wedding ceremony feel unique. From heartfelt readings to romantic quotes from books, and even song lyrics, self penned words are guaranteed to get us right in the feels. And today we're focusing on funny wedding vows.

While we love the tear-jerkers, we’re also more than a little partial to some funny wedding vows. They are a great way to shake off any ceremony jitters and unite the congregation, so we definitely think they’re worth incorporating into your big day. Truth be told, a little laughter might help you wrangle your emotions and keep a tear or two at bay. Comedy can be great, but incorporating it into your vows may be easier said than done.

If you want to add a little laughter to the moment, remember that these are your wedding vows, keep it light and keep it simple. This is the moment, after all, that you’re declaring your love to your partner, not auditioning for a sitcom!

Be sure not to use references that only you and your partner will get. You want to make your guests smile and laugh with you, not hear the deafening sound of tumbling weed when your joke falls like a lead balloon
