In 1932, Babe Ruth pointed to centerfield, called his shot, and sent a baseball soaring into history. That moment is more than a sports legend. It is a perfect metaphor for writing your wedding vows. Your vows are not about perfection or performance. They are about declaring your intentions and then spending a lifetime delivering on them, not through grand gestures, but through daily practices of love. A vow becomes powerful when it moves from vague promises to clear, meaningful commitments that reveal who you want to be for your partner. It is your chance to call your shot and then spend your life stepping up to the plate.

Writing your wedding vows can feel a lot like staring at a blank page the night before a school assignment is due. You want to say something meaningful, something true, but the words hide just out of reach. If that feels familiar, you are not alone. Many couples sit down to write their vows and suddenly find themselves overwhelmed by emotion, expectations, and the pressure to get it right.

In this series, I share what I have learned from years of performing, storytelling, and officiating weddings for couples who want ceremonies filled with honesty and heart. My goal is not to give you a script. Instead, I want to help you ask the right questions, understand what vows really are, and find the courage to speak from a place that feels deeply personal.

Take a breath, sit down with your partner, and begin. The words will come.
