Reflect on your relationship

Think about how you met, what drew you to each other, key moments you shared while you were dating.  Share a personal story from the heart that meant a lot to you.   Reflect on what  you love the most about your partner and your promise to them for the rest of your lives together as couple.

 

You can start by expressing all the things you love about your partner.  This could be traits, quirks, or things they do that makes them special.   Think about how they make you feel when you are with them.

 

Commit to your promises

Make sure that your vows come from the heart and are realistic. What are you promising to do for your new bride or groom.  Be vulnerable in your words.   If you have important values in the relationship, place them in your vows.  Whether that looks like being loyal and honest, or maybe fun and adventurous.

Reflect on experiences you’ve shared to together – maybe something funny that happened, that are only between the two of you.   Personal touches make your vows more intimate and special between the two of you.  

 

Don't forget to laugh
