The Do’s and Don’ts of Saying “I Do”

Take it from me, your wedding day is going to be an absolute blur. Seriously, it flies by. So after all is said and done, I always like to find out what part of their big day my clients liked best (if they remember it!), and 9 times out of 10 it’s the ceremony. Particularly their vows. Hmmm… maybe it’s because they’re still sober? Nah. Actually, it’s because I always suggest that my couples write their own. Nothing says “I love you” more than words from the heart that are personal to you, not something pulled from a book. However, not everyone has the gift of gab, so here are some pointers to get those creative juices flowing and answer the question– Why do you want to spend the rest of your life together?

*Did you meet in a memorable way or make a unique first impression?

*What are the qualities that drew you to each other and make you want to be legally required to be there for the rest of your lives? (no pressure there, right?)

*What things do you have in common that make you a great couple- values, common interests, hobbies, etc.?

*Is there a poem, movie line, famous quote, or song lyric that speaks to your relationship or that you’re both fond of?

*Has there been one particular moment or event that made you realize you loved each other or was just a wonderful time in your romantic history?

*What are you looking forward to most about being husband & wife?

As a general rule, inside jokes will be lost on your guests, so it’s best to leave those out. And please, don’t include anything that will make your guests blush or embarrass your mom! As you reflect on what you love about each other and your relationship, you may find yourself falling in love all over again. For many couples, this is the first time these sentiments have been really examined and expressed to each other, so it can be a very special treat for both of you. Enjoy the process!
