45 Funny Wedding Vows to Exchange During Your Ceremony

While adding a little jocularity to your wedding vows is a great way to dial down the seriousness of the moment, it also shows your personality and says a lot about your relationship. 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 some 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, so keep it light and keep it simple. This is the moment, after all, that you’re declaring your love for your partner, not auditioning for your own 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 crickets from your attendees when your joke doesn’t land. 

If you’re trying to write your vows and struggling to find the right balance between the importance of the moment and a little comedic flair, here are 45 funny wedding vow quotes to help you find some inspiration.
