#1 AI Vow Writer
Personal Vows — Write heartfelt personal vows,in your own words.
You have the feelings but not the exact words.A few questions. Four real drafts.Nothing that reads like AI.
The page you stand up and read from
Everyone here already knows the words. For better, for worse. In sickness, in health.
I want to say which ones I mean. I mean the winter the boiler broke, and you wore my coat indoors and never once said it was hard. I mean the year you were ill and would not say so.
We did those years together already. I vow to do the rest with you — through the highs and the lows.
Yours will read like this — set large enough to read at arm’s length, built from what you tell us and nothing else. Where we weren’t told something, the draft leaves a bracket for you to fill in rather than inventing one. A finished set runs around 150 to 300 words — 1½ to 3 minutes said out loud, longer than the piece above.
Most people start this the same way: a notebook, three false starts, and the feeling that everything true about the two of you sounds like a greeting card once it’s written down. That’s the part this takes off you.
The sequence
How it works
- You answer
- A few questions about the two of you: how you met, the story you always end up telling, what you are actually promising. One question at a time, at your own pace.
- You read four
- One opens on the two of you, one says it in the fewest words, one takes its time getting to the promises, and one opens on something small you noticed. Not four rewordings of one draft — four different ways in to the same story, around 150 to 300 words each. Read them out loud. It is the only test that counts.
- You keep one
- Change any line by hand, or ask for it warmer, shorter, plainer — and take it back with one tap if the first one was better. Then print the page and the card.
In the envelope
What you leave with
Your vows leave as a finished document — a page set to be read from, and a card cut down to go where you go.
- The page
- Set at 24 point, a promise to a paragraph, with a margin at the foot wide enough for a thumb and a timing measured at the pace somebody actually speaks. Print it, or read it off your phone.
- The card
- 85 by 55 millimeters. As much of the vow as fits in a jacket pocket, cut where a sentence ends, for the walk up and the few minutes after it.
For better, for worse. In sickness, in health. I mean the winter the boiler broke and you wore my coat indoors and never said it was hard. We did those years together already. I vow to do the rest with you — through the highs and the lows.
Both re-print from whatever is on screen the moment you change a line, so what you carry up the aisle is always what you last read.
Four drafts, not four rewordings
Four ways to say it
Same answers, same cold winter, four different ways in. These are the openings of one story.
Story-led
The winter the boiler broke, you wore my coat indoors and never once said it was hard.
Short & concise
I’m not going to be clever about this. The boiler broke. You never said.
Long & thoughtful
I keep going back to that winter — not for the cold, for what it proved.
Light-hearted
Two sweaters, three blankets, and you still did the dishes. I noticed.
Where we were not told something, the draft leaves it as a bracket — [the street we lived on then] — for you to fill in. Nothing is invented, not once, not even to make a sentence land better.
One payment
What it costs
No subscription, and nothing to cancel.

Before you start
Questions worth asking first
Will these read like AI wrote them, or like everyone else’s vows?
That worry is the right one, and it is the one this is built against. The drafts are written from your answers and from nothing else — the words you reach for, the length your sentences actually run — and we check them back against what you gave us before you ever see them. Nothing stock, nothing borrowed from other couples, no phrase you would never say. Then you read every line aloud and change whatever is not yours.
Is this written by AI?
Partly, and here is the whole of it. You answer questions about the two of you. A language model writes four drafts from those answers and from nothing else. Then you read them out loud, change the lines that are not yours, and keep what you actually mean. It will not invent a memory, a name or a date — anything we were not told comes back as a bracket for you to fill in. The blank page is the part we take. The promise stays yours.
Is any of this religious?
Only if you say so. One question asks whether you want your vows secular, religious, or a mix of the two, and which tradition if either — and nothing is assumed before you answer it, in either direction.
What do you do with what I wrote about us?
Your answers and your drafts are encrypted, are never logged, and are never sold or used to train anything of ours. They are deleted along with the rest of your session at the end of your access window, or sooner if you ask us.
How long can I get back in?
12 months from the day you buy. Your link works on any device for that whole time — read them again, change a line, print a fresh page. We email you before the window closes, and then everything is deleted.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Within 30 days of buying, write to support@personalvows.com and we refund it — no form to fill in and no explanation required.
My partner wants to write theirs too.
That is the $59 price: two questionnaires, two sets of vows, one payment. You each answer your own, at your own pace, and neither set is written from the other one.
Do I have to print anything?
No. The read-aloud page and the card both work on a phone held open at full brightness. Paper is steadier in a wind and does not dim halfway through, which is the only reason it is the default.
Done worrying about what to say
You don’t have to know how it ends yet. You have to answer one question, and then the next one.
