Wedding vows should be very personalized to the couple and that is usually done by writing them yourself. Use some of the ideas on this page to help you get started.
Biker wedding vows almost always include some sort of biker language like “Riding Through Life”, “Let’s Ride Together”, or “I’ll Be There For You Kickstand Up or Down”. Making promises to each other through the words that play such a big part in your riding lifestyle should be the focus of your vows.
Write Your Own Motorcycle Wedding Vows
Writing your own vows is not hard. The hard part is getting started. Once you put pen to paper or ink to a screen, you’ll find words will start to flow easier. And the really nice part, you can say anything that you want!
You could simply recite a favorite poem about love but you could easily adapt it to suit your needs. Lower down on the page, I adapted an old Irish blessing. I simply replaced words a biker would understand and that reflect the riding lifestyle.

A Biker’s Prayer
Adding a biker’s prayer to your wedding ceremony might also be something to add. You could recite it as part of your vows or recite it together after you both have had your say.
As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I can keep. But if I spin and being to slide, please dear god protect my hide.
or the version for both of you
As we lay rubber down the street, we pray for traction we can keep. But if we spin and being to slide, please dear god protect our hide.
