Some couples write their own vows. Some couples have a song written and read it as their vows. A custom song for the vow exchange — read aloud, sung, or played — is one of the most direct, intimate moves in modern wedding ceremony design. It is the partner saying the thing in the specific shape only they would say it.
What this kind of song holds
These songs hold the commitment as a specific action, not a generic vow. They hold the moment the partner became the partner. They hold what is being promised and what cannot be promised but is meant anyway. The best ones read like a private letter that the audience is honored to overhear.
What to put in the intake
Tell us what you want to promise. Tell us what you can't promise but mean. Tell us the moment that proves the promise is real. Tell us whether you want this to be sung or read. We write to the specific moment of standing across from your person and saying the thing.
