Ah, wedding vows—the ultimate declaration of love, loyalty, and eternal devotion. When it came time to write mine, I figured, Why not let ChatGPT take a crack at it? After all, it’s 2025, and if Gen Z can use AI to plan their week, why not use it to profess undying love?

So, I typed in: “Write my wedding vows, Gen Z-style.” And here’s what happened:

*”Babe,
From the first selfie we took to the thousands we’ve snapped since, I knew you were the perfect filter to my unedited life. You’re the one I’d share my last 5% battery with—even without a charger nearby.

I promise to always like and comment on your Instagram posts, even if it’s the same selfie from six different angles. I vow to take the perfect candid shots of you (even if it takes 47 tries), to never post cringe, and to tag you in every meme that reminds me of us.

Through buffering TikToks, failed trends, and questionable dance challenges, I’ll be your ride-or-die. I vow to be your co-star in every IG Reel, your hype-person for every #OOTD, and your forever duet partner on karaoke nights.

Life’s feed may be unpredictable, but with you, it’s always trending. I’ll love you through the algorithm changes, the midnight photo dumps, and even the days when we can’t agree on what to binge-watch. You are my FYP, my ultimate vibe, and the love I’ll always double-tap—IRL and beyond.
Forever yours, captioned with love and a thousand emojis.”*


Cue the “AWWWWs,” right?

Sure, these vows were a little over-the-top, but let’s be honest—aren’t we all a little extra when it comes to our social media obsession? And I couldn’t help but giggle at how ChatGPT nailed the Gen Z vibes.

But then, as I imagined standing in front of my friends, family, and possibly a livestream audience (because why not?), I realized something was missing. The vows were cute, but where were the real, messy, offline moments that made us?

So, I decided to mix ChatGPT’s Gen Z flair with my real-life promises:

  • I vow to take selfies with you even when I’m in sweatpants and haven’t washed my hair.
  • I promise to hold the phone flashlight for your perfect food shots, even if it means my pasta gets cold.
  • I’ll cheer you on through every trending dance challenge (but don’t expect me to get the moves right).
  • I vow to pause Netflix when you fall asleep so we can watch the rest together later.
  • And, most importantly, I promise to keep creating memories so magical they’ll never need a filter.

Because love, like the best Instagram captions, is about finding the right balance—between playful and heartfelt, fun and forever. And as much as I adore a great selfie, it’s the unfiltered, unposted, totally real moments that make this love worth celebrating.

So, if you’re planning your wedding vows and thinking, Should I include Instagram? TikTok? Memes? The answer is YES. But don’t forget to sprinkle in the raw, authentic stuff, too. Because life together? That’s the ultimate highlight reel.

Now, excuse me while I go practice our first dance—it’s definitely ending up on TikTok. 💃🕺 #ForeverAndAlways
