What best describes you?
On a beautiful September day in Minnesota, Maggie and Jeremy stood in front of their loved ones and said “I do.” But their wedding wasn’t just about the two of them—it was also about the kind of world they want to help build.
Like many modern couples, Maggie and Jeremy wanted their celebration to be a reflection of who they are. That meant including the people they love, honoring the traditions that mattered to them—and using the moment to support something bigger than themselves. By creating a charitable wedding registry through VOW for Girls, Maggie and Jeremy raised over $3,300 to support girls around the world.
Their wedding was filled with joy, meaning, and personal touches—and it gave their guests a powerful new way to take part in the celebration.
Traditionally, wedding registries have been about building a home—requesting dishes, appliances, and items to help couples start the next chapter. But for many couples today, that’s no longer the full picture. Maybe your apartment already has more “stuff” than it needs. Maybe you’ve been gifted generously during your engagement. Or maybe you simply want your wedding to say something about the values you share as a couple.
That’s where VOW for Girls comes in.
VOW offers a joyful and meaningful way to add purpose to your wedding day, without replacing the parts you love. Couples can include a charitable registry alongside a traditional one, so guests have multiple ways to celebrate your love. Every dollar raised helps end child marriage and supports girls to choose their own futures—through education, mentorship, job training, and more.
VOW for Girls makes it easy to give back through your wedding, with simple tools for couples, guests, and wedding professionals.
Whether you’re including a donation link on your wedding website, skipping favors in favor of a cause, or creating a full charitable registry, VOW gives you the flexibility to make your wedding your own—while giving girls around the world the chance to do the same.
✨ Your wedding is personal. So is your impact.
Maggie and Jeremy discovered VOW for Girls while searching online for a way to make their wedding more meaningful. They were drawn to the mission and the idea that they could use this once-in-a-lifetime moment to give back.
They created a VOW charitable registry, shared it with friends and family, and invited guests to make a donation in honor of their celebration. The result? Over $3,300 raised—and an overwhelming outpouring of support from the people who love them most.
“We wanted to use the opportunity of getting our family and friends together to make a positive impact on something important to us,” they shared. “We are so fortunate that we could choose when and whom to marry, and that we could plan our dream wedding. Part of that dream was that our wedding would benefit a meaningful cause. We both feel strongly that girls should be children first, chase their dreams, and become brides if, when, and where they choose. We’re thrilled to have exceeded our fundraising goal and that our guests were eager to support this cause along with us!”
Your wedding should reflect who you are—not just your aesthetic, but your heart. Including a charitable component through VOW is a beautiful, joyful way to add more meaning to your day and invite your guests into something truly special.
Whether you're planning a backyard ceremony or a big celebration, VOW helps you turn your wedding into a force for good.
