We know that not all personal wedding vows are always captured for the onsite video.  We also admit that we haven’t seen and heard all the greatest exchange of vows the past year.  But for the past couple of days, we’ve definitely heard a lot of good ones as shared to us by wedding videographers and W@Wies alike.

More than the visual aspect of these videos, we listened intently as these couples exchange promises to each on their wedding day.  Good editing definitely helps - with choice soundbites blended seamlessly with the music. But the heart & soul of these wedding videos are the words uttered. Some of these vows are funny, while others are heartfelt; while even some managed to be both at the same time! The marriage vows included in our list were either read, memorized, recited impromptu, or even adlibbed.  But no matter how they were said, ALL are very personal. A glimpse into the couple’s story.

Here we present to you our Top 11 choices for the Best Wedding Vows of 2011!
