The Best Funny Wedding Vows I’ve Ever Filmed
Let’s be honest – funny wedding vows are the best part of any ceremony. There’s something magical about that moment when a couple makes their guests laugh while expressing genuine love for each other. As a wedding videographer, I’ve filmed hundreds of ceremonies, but the ones with hilarious vows truly stand out.
Sure, traditional vows are timeless and beautiful, but a little humor goes a long way. It adds that special something, that extra spark that makes your ceremony truly unforgettable. After all, isn’t the goal to create a day that feels authentically you? So why not sprinkle in some laughter along with the love? Because at the end of the day, marriage is about sharing joy as much as it is about commitment.
In this article, I’m sharing some of my favorite real-life examples of couples who nailed their funny wedding vows. These aren’t scripted or made up – these are actual couples who found the perfect balance between humor and heart. Plus, I’ve got the video evidence to prove it.
Funny Wedding Vows: When a Groom Marries a Lawyer
When Luca stood before Joyce on their wedding day, he knew his vows would face the ultimate scrutiny. After all, his bride wasn’t just any bride, she was a lawyer. What followed was one of the most carefully crafted wedding declarations ever, complete with Human Rights Act citations and a nod to needing ‘solid evidence’ in future disagreements.
But beyond the legal wit, Luca wove in the threads of their shared passions. He compared his love to the excitement of finding a rare Magic: The Gathering card—a nod any trading card fan would appreciate—and celebrated their shared love of gaming, from Joyce’s Age of Empires victories to cozy nights re-watching Avatar.
These vows are particularly special because they balance professional humor with personal promises. From the practical (“cutting your fruits in the morning… no pips, no stems”) to the playful (“First Response Unit” for handling creepy crawlies), each vow reveals another layer of their relationship.

Groom promises always to say ‘yes’ to take out in heartfelt wedding vows
Daniel delivers vows that perfectly blend sincere promises with lighthearted moments about his relationship with Tyneale. He lovingly references their food-focused relationship—from cheese picnics to late-night McFlurry runs—and gets laughs when promising that while he may not always find her lost phone or keys, he’ll always support her takeout cravings.
His vows beautifully balance heartfelt commitment with personal inside jokes that showcase their unique bond as best friends becoming husband and wife.
“I love that our relationship is also focused on food. Whether it’s having a picnic with cheese, a late night adventure to Maccas for a McFlurry, or going to Woolworth’s for chocolate.”
When Marvel and Star Wars Meet “I Do”
Some couples quote Shakespeare at their wedding. Others go for traditional romance. But when two passionate Marvel fans tie the knot, you get wedding vows that are perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Katelyn’s vows to Shane prove that funny wedding vows can still pack an emotional punch, especially when sprinkled with references that mean the world to both partners.
From promises about their future family experiencing the MCU for the first time to that heartwarming “I love you more than 3,000” reference, these vows masterfully blend pop culture with genuine emotion. They are simultaneously hilarious and touching, geeky and profound – much like the movies they both love.
I especially love how Katelyn included specific details about their plans to share Star Wars with their children and experience their kids’ reactions to the Infinity War cliffhanger. It makes the pop culture references feel personal rather than just generic fan references.

As the main character in their love story, James promises big, exciting things (“build a life better than your wildest dreams”) and small, sweet moments—like catching spiders and singing backup, even though he forgets the words. He turns their regular moments into a fantastic love story, showing that the best funny wedding vows do more than make people laugh—they make them feel something deeper.
