Wedding Startup Wants You to Write Your Vows with GPT ![Good news for anyone who's already using ChatGPT to help them get dates: when you get to the altar, the chatbot will take care of your wedding vows, too.]() *\Image: Getty / Futurism\* ## Till Death Terrific news for anyone who's already using ChatGPT to [help get dates](): if you make it to the altar, the chatbot can take care of your vows, too. Joy, a wedding planning platform, has unveiled a new OpenAI-powered "[Wedding Writer's Block]()" tool, billed by the company as an AI assistant designed to help platform users write their "toughest wedding-related wordage." You know, because nothing says romance than relying on a bot — trained to write in the style of pirates, astrologists, Shakespeare, and Rumi, among others — to declare your undying love for your betrothed. A "recent survey highlighted that 89 percent of our community found it at least somewhat overwhelming to start writing their wedding materials," company CEO Vishal Joshi said in a press release. "Our new Writer's Block Assistant uses OpenAI to enable couples and guests to get over their writer’s block and bring their emotions on to paper in fun and creative ways." ## Neu Romancer To be fair, the integration *is* marketed by Joy as a first draft tool — an inspirational device, rather than a full-on ghostwriter. It's also true that people turn to search engines to find writing inspiration all the time. Still, finding published inspiration, thinking about it critically, and working from there is quite different from having a machine regurgitate some paraphrased themes at you — with no mention of sources, of course. And while we personally wouldn't verbatim copy the Wedding Writer's Block-generated vows, wedding website "love story" copy, toasts, and other wedding "wordage" options offered by Joy, we can imagine that some folks out there just might. On a grander scale, the integration seems to speak to a broader tech industry push to incorporate OpenAI's viral chatbot tech into [anything and everything]() they can, even into a part of life that some might argue is more essential to our humanity than most: love, dating, and relationships. The world of online dating was among the quickest to jump onto the AI-integration bandwagon, as it all too often does with [tech trends]() of the like. The wedding industry, it seems, has followed in stride. And with the dating phase now officially bookended by AI integrations, it's hard not to wonder what's next. GPT-powered couples' therapy? A Netflix series about folks in pods who can only communicate with chatbot prompts? (We'd say OpenAI-assisted divorce court, although that one might be taking [longer than expected]().) **More on ChatGPT romance:** [*OkCupid Using ChatGPT to Make Online Dating Even More Robotic*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've reported extensively on the rise of AI as a cultural and business force shaping the media industry, and more broadly how those dynamics are changing how we all consume and share information and relate to one another. I'm also fascinated by public health policy and ethics, the role of emerging tech in politics and governance — and the powerful people and forces at those intersections — climate change, and the environment. My investigation on Sports Illustrated's use of AI-generated authors with fictional biographies won a 2024 Mirror Award for "Best Story on Media Coverage of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism and the Media" from Syracuse University's SI Newhouse School, I contributed to Niemen Lab's 2025 Predictions for Journalism series, and I've discussed my work for Futurism during appearances on NPR, CNN, the BBC, the CBC, and more. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I played Division I field hockey for the Minutewomen as a midfielder. Since then, I've lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and Manhattan, New York. I spend my free time running, reading, perusing archival fashion, and searching for the world’s best negroni. I also have a debonair tuxedo cat, Westley, who's named after "The Princess Bride." ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
