Will you help us write our wedding vows?

I would love to help you write your vows!

I remember how hard it was to express my feelings, lifetime promises and dreams for our life together in only a few sentences for my own wedding.

Let me simplify the process of writing your personal vows.

You may like to write the same promises to each other to keep it simple, or each write different vows which reflect your individual personalities.

If you are a couple who love to prank each other, add a little humour in your vows.

If you are a romantic couple, bring out your inner Casanova and get those tears flowing with dreamy and affectionate words.

When your first draft is ready, I would love to review your vows and help you finalise them in time for your ceremony.  I promise to keep them a secret from your partner…

To get those creative juices flowing, grab some paper and a pen and write down the first thing that pops into your mind when you read these statements.  Your answers will help create the foundation of your wedding vows.

“The day we met, __________, and after we first spoke I felt __________.”

“I knew I was in love when ____________.”

“Before I met you, I ___________. Now I ___________.”

“Because of you, I see the world __________. “

“You are such a part of me that when you’re gone, I __________.”

“I look forward to __________, laughing and __________ as we __________.”

“I promise to cherish, honour and ____________ you, all the days of my life… especially when curled up on the couch with takeaway.”

“When you ____________, I saw you for the _____________ person you are and that made me want to ____________.”

“When I ____________, and you _____________ it made me realise that ____________.”

“I love how we share ___________, so together we can ___________.”

“Your ___________ has shown me how to be___________.”

“I promise to always ___________.”

“I look forward to ___________ as we __________.”

“Our love is like a ___________ because it ___________.”

“To me, marriage is ___________. With you, it’s ___________.”

“Even when ___________, we will have ___________.”

“I look forward to ___________ as we embark on ___________.”

“I know our marriage will ___________ and I vow to ___________.”
