Nearly Half of Couples Open to AI for Wedding Vows

A recent survey conducted by Use.AI, which polled 7,400 adults in married, engaged, or committed relationships, reveals a notable shift in attitudes towards the use of artificial intelligence in wedding vow composition. The findings suggest that nearly half of respondents (48%) are amenable to their partner utilizing AI to help structure or refine wedding vows, provided the core content—memories, promises, and ideas—originates from the individual. This openness contrasts with a strong preference for human-generated content, as 54% of those surveyed indicated they would rather hear vows that are imperfect and written entirely by their partner than more polished vows primarily drafted by AI. Furthermore, 41% believe that vows would feel less personal if they discovered AI had been significantly involved in their creation.

While the prospect of fully AI-generated vows remains largely unappealing, with 63% of respondents stating AI has no place in the vow-writing process, the survey highlights a growing acceptance of AI as a supportive tool. This sentiment extends beyond vows, as a separate report from wedding planning platform Zola indicates that 54% of couples are already incorporating AI into various aspects of wedding planning as of 2026. Zola's data shows AI is most frequently used for answering etiquette questions (54%), managing timelines and to-do lists (44%), and drafting communications to guests and vendors (40%).

The Use.AI survey also explored attitudes towards AI's role in other wedding-related communications. A significant portion of respondents, 44%, believe AI should not be involved in writing speeches or toasts. Additionally, 36% expressed a desire to keep officiants' ceremony scripts free from AI intervention. These figures underscore a general sentiment that while AI can be a useful assistant for logistical or drafting tasks, its direct involvement in highly personal or ceremonial elements of a wedding is still approached with caution. However, the 48% figure from the Use.AI survey specifically for vow assistance indicates a growing willingness to explore AI's capabilities in even the most intimate aspects of wedding preparation, suggesting a potential future where AI acts as a collaborative partner rather than a complete replacement for human expression.
