Methodology
How the writing tools are designed
The structural, factual, timing, example, and editorial principles behind Say My Vows.
Implementation reviewed 16 July 2026
Structure before polish
The writer begins with three distinct directions rather than synonym-level rewrites. Vows use story-led, promise-led, and concise/direct structures. Speeches use story-led, tribute-led, and toast-first structures. The interface explains what changes structurally so a user can choose with intent.
Facts come from the speaker
Names, memories, dates, relationship qualities, and anecdotes should come from the user. Provider instructions and built-in templates avoid adding factual claims. Generated language can still be wrong, which is why the result is an editable draft, not a finished authority.
Speaking time
Estimates are calculated from the edited word count and an explicit words-per-minute assumption. The default is 130 words per minute and can be adjusted from 80 to 220. Pauses, emotion, laughter, and ceremony transitions can make real delivery longer.
Examples and review status
The example library is treated as synthetic teaching material, not customer submissions or transcripts from real couples. No expert, cultural, or religious reviewer is claimed in this release. Content that needs qualified review is narrowed, labelled, or temporarily kept out of search indexing.
