Quick Answer
Funny wedding vows balance humor with heart. They include lighthearted jokes about quirks and daily life while still expressing genuine love and commitment. The key is to be funny without making your entire ceremony a comedy routine.
The Art of Funny Vows
Humor in wedding vows works when it:
- •Reveals something real about your relationship
- •Balances jokes with sincere moments
- •Laughs with your partner, not at them
- •Stays appropriate for all ages
- •Lands with genuine affection underneath
Funny Wedding Vow Examples
I promise to love you even when you're hangry. I promise to let you have the last slice of pizza at least 60% of the time. I promise to laugh at your jokes, even the really bad ones. And I promise to be your partner in crime, your fellow adventurer, and the person who always knows where you left your keys.
I vow to always be honest with you, except about whether those jeans make you look fat. I promise to be patient with your obsession with fantasy football if you promise to tolerate my shopping habits. I promise to love you even when you steal all the blankets, eat the last cookie, and leave your socks everywhere.
I promise to DVR your favorite shows, even the ones that make me roll my eyes. I promise to handle the spiders if you handle the phone calls. I promise to love you on the days when we both forget to do the laundry and have to wear questionable outfits. You're my favorite weirdo, and I can't wait to be weird together forever.
I love your weird. I love that you sing in the shower, that you cry at commercials, and that you have strong opinions about the correct way to load a dishwasher. I promise to embrace all your quirks, to laugh with you and sometimes at you (but lovingly), and to be your partner in this beautifully imperfect life.
How to Write Funny Vows
Start Funny, End Sweet
A good structure: Open with humor to break the ice, include 2-3 funny moments in the middle, then close with genuine emotion. This shows you can be both playful and serious about your commitment.
Reference Real Quirks
The funniest vows reference actual habits or inside jokes. Don't make up generic humor—use what's true about your relationship.
Keep It Wedding-Appropriate
Your grandmother is listening. Keep jokes clean and avoid anything too risqué, mean-spirited, or that requires too much inside knowledge.
What to Avoid
- •Jokes about exes or past relationships
- •Making fun of your partner's insecurities
- •Being funny the entire time (include real emotion)
- •Jokes only your friends will understand
