A compilation of unusual wedding vows (That I compiled from all over, and in no way own), that are anything but generic, but can be tweaked or used outright (As a sample) for one in your one of a kind wedding! Unusual ideas:

 

Write those vows in haiku

 

Bring zombies into the pact… ya know… just in case!

“Do you take [name] to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death or zombies do you part? Me: I do”.

 

Edgar Allen Poe Inspired

“Once upon an evening splendid we all gathered and intended,To witness marriage of two people we most certainly adoreAfter that unique procession there might be some apprehensionIf there will be more digression from what we thought would be in storeBut now we must all get serious for the rest that is in store,Just the vows and nothing moreHow distinctly you'll remember on this (Blank)day in (Month)when each and every family member traveled to the ocean shoreSo eagerly you planned this wedding that sometimes you were forgettingwith all the stressful days of fretting what the ceremony's forBut the day has come and you'll learn what the ceremony's forAs you vow forever more (Handfasting-Cord ceremony)With this ribbon I'll be binding hearts that will be intertwiningThis honored tradition dated back from the Celtic days of yoreThe fasting of their hands together symbolizes their foreverSo united I will tether as was done in ancient loreClasping hands are tied together as was done in ancient loreTo symbolize forever more”For the adventurers! “I promise today to be your navigator, best friend, and wife; honor, love, and cherish you through all of life's adventures. I swear to always and forever be your confidant and you mine. I vow to grow old with you and to keep the kid in you alive. I take you today to be my co-captain of team (Last name).”

 

For the Pirates out on the sea of love.

“Groom: I, Mad Dog _______________ take ye, Saucy ______________________ as me Heart, me Soul, me Good Wench with a stout right hook, the bright dawn of each new day and the soft bed of each day's night. I promise to love ye and honor ye; to make ye laugh when yer feelin' out of sorts and pretend to listen to ye when ye babble on and on about nothin' in particular. I will protect you from the elements and the elephants should we ever encounter them as it is my understanding that they can be very large and unpredictable. I will love thee through scurvy and through fire, in wealth or poverty whether ye be near or far. And when I speak of treasure, as I am wont to do, everyone within the sound of me voice will know that what I am really speaking about is you. All of this will I undertake until there are no horizons left to chase and the rum is gone.

Bride: I, Saucy _________________ take ye, Mad Dog __________________ as me Heart, me Soul, me Salty Jack with a crooked smile, the foggy haze of each new day and the lumpy (but familiar) mattress of each day's night. I promise to love ye and honor ye; to make ye laugh so hard the rum comes out yer nose and pretend to listen to ye when ye babble on about nothin' in particular. I will protect you from my wrath and from giraffes which I understand are very tall and will sometimes step on people because they are not looking where they are stepping. I will love thee through scurvy and through fire, in wealth or poverty whether ye be near or far. And when I speak of treasure, as I am wont to do, everyone within the sound of me voice will know that I am day dreaming again. All of this will I undertake until there are no horizons left to chase and the rum is gone.”

 

Sweet, and meaningful… and involves inspiration from Bruce Lee, and Lord of the Rings.

“I promise to always love you. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. I will always love you. Your love is inspiring to me every day. You are the kindest, most sincere person I know. I promise to never take your love for granted. I promise to always respect you. I promise to kill any insects that wander into our home. I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with you. Everything I am and have is yours. I love you! Will you be my wife?

I promise to always love you. As sure as the stars shine at night, I will always love you. Your love is like water. Formless. Shapeless. It is peaceful, strong and always just what I need. You are my heart. I promise to honor you. I promise to support you. And I promise that if there is ever a zombie apocalypse that you can count on my axe! I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with you. Everything I am and have is yours. I love you! Will you be my husband?”

 

For those celebrating a union that's been unofficial for a long time:

I do not vow to create this union today. It is not possible to create that which has existed for so long already.

I vow instead to sustain this union, fighting for it when the need arises and all the while developing it far beyond what was initially thought possible.

Our life together may never be perfect, but I will always work to perfect it.

I promise I will always aim to improve myself for you.

I promise to forever be your anchor when you are lost in the storm, holding you steady until we can find our way home.

I promise to be your strength when you are weak, because when I am weak you are strong.

I promise to support you in times of both peace and strife.

I promise to put your needs before my own, especially when it's really really hard to.

I promise to always laugh, even at the silliest of your jokes, because you will always be the funniest person I know.

I promise to keep our differences our business.

I promise to love you to absolute bits.

I promise to choose you every day, over and over, until time ends.

 

Vows for the not so NooBs:

I promise to be your loving wife/husband and fellow adventurer;

to cherish your love, intellect, and unique skills and attributes;

to support you in any quest, to challenge you to grow, and to always lend you dice.

I will delight with you in happiness, comfort you in sorrow, and conspire with you in mischief.

Together we will create a family which is welcoming, accepting of all, fun-loving, and chaotic good.

My love is yours today, tomorrow, and for all the days before us.
