Can We Write Our Own Vows in The Bahamas?

Q: Can we write our own vows in The Bahamas?

Yes. Personal vows are common. Keep them concise so you can deliver them calmly, print them, and aim for clear promises and one short story that feels authentic.

Fast Answer (Ask Glenn) Last updated: February 1, 2026

Yes: personal vows are common and work beautifully.
Best length: short enough to deliver calmly (think 45–90 seconds each).
Best practice: print them—don’t rely on a phone in island wind.

My practical answer: vows should feel like you, but they also need to “sound good out loud.” Some couples write amazing vows and then rush them because they’re too long.

What I recommend: write from the heart, then cut it down. Your guests will feel the meaning more when you deliver it slowly and confidently.

My vow-writing checklist

Keep it readable: large font, printed page, clean spacing.
Make 2–3 promises: specific, not generic.
Add one short story: one moment that explains “why you.”
End strong: one clear line you can say with confidence.
