Why it works for weddings
A printed vow card is a private object in a public day. Handwritten-style lettering suits short, heartfelt lines, while larger plain type is kinder to nervous readers for the longer passages.
Where to use it

Title in the font, vows in a large serif with short lines.

A sealed card to open in a future year.
