Help with Harry Potter vows?

Kelsey, on August 17, 2019 at 1:50 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 1 8
My fiancé and I are getting married in a little over a month! That means we’re looking at our vows. We have little hints of Harry Potter spread throughout the wedding, but nothing too “on the nose.” We’re looking for some quotes from the books or movies that can be worked into our vows. Any suggestions?

P.S.: We both can’t stand Snape’s obsessive love of Lilly, so “Always” is out for us.

    This is tough. I've been looking, myself, but the problem is that HP isn't really about romantic love.

    Perhaps start with the many quotes about friendship?

    Or there's always Dumbledore quotes.

    I love HP and love that you added the point about not liking Always because it's such a go-to suggestion that people give and I've never seen the Snape Lily relationship as goals lol

    So I'm writing my own vows and I added a harry potter quote at the end of it
    I promise that even in the darkest times, I will always remember to the turn on the light" from the quote "happiness can be found in the darkest times if one remembers to turn on the light"

    Most of it is pretty understated - easy to miss if you aren’t a fan. For example, our colors are yellow and blue (I’m a Hufflepuff, he’s a Ravenclaw), and our recessional will be Hogwarts Forever. Our reception has a couple more details - like our cake will have some HP things on the back of it, and our toasting glasses have “he’s a catch, she’s a keeper” on them with our names and wedding date in the HP font. I didn’t want to go full scale with it. While I’ve seen some that are absolutely amazing, I have neither the time nor the budget to go to that extent, so we’re keeping it pretty simple.

    I saw a suggestion to start the vows with “I solemnly swear,” which I think is kinda cute. We also usually use the phrase “until the very end,” even though it’s more familial love than romantic. I’ve had people say that doesn’t belong at a wedding, but isn’t the entire purpose of a wedding to create a family together (even if it’s just a family of two)?

    That sounds Awesome! More is less am I right? Yay fellow Hufflepuff! We're doing a full on theme but it's very hard to design the invites while making sure to add the theme but not go too overboard so people still know what's going on.

    I love that you are both HP fans and are incorporating it subtly into your wedding! I do love the quotes PP posted. I also like “we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided” “it is impossible to manufacture or imitate love” “you’ll stay with me- until the very end”
