Your wedding day is a very important life event. It officially marks the beginning of a new chapter in your lives. So, it is understandable if couples choose to write their wedding vows on their own. For starters, it shows how much they mean to you. Nothing is as unique as writing from your heart by yourself. But does that make it easy? Not really.
Not everyone has the poetic muse and can easily experience a writer’s bloc. Well, this is why this article is here to help guide you on how to write the perfect wedding vow to that one special person in the world.
- Start Writing A Month Before Your Wedding
By this time, you’ve finished up most of the plans for your wedding and you have enough time to think well.
At first, don’t focus on the writing itself but on the emotions, you feel when you think about your spouse.
- Ask Yourself Deep Questions
How did you fall in love with your spouse? What are the little things they do that makes your heart leap for joy? How have they changed your perspective towards life? What do you admire the most about them?
Jot down your answers as they will serve as a guide to writing your vow.
- Start Separately
Of course, you’ll be tempted to want to share ideas or read what the other has written so far about you. Try to keep it an open secret instead. Agree to write separately so you can both share your vows on your big day.
- Focus On Everything
An important part of your vow are promises. Consider what you’re saying yes to and focus on everything. Focus on the good times, make a promise. Then focus on the bad times and still make a promise.
This way, you would have touched every aspect that life may want to bring to the table.
- Get Help With Literature
Now is the time to research the best love poems and literature that has ever existed. Your readings will influence your writing. Read with a reflection of how your partner makes you feel then jot down notes.
By the time you’re done, you’ll notice you’ve compiled something completely magical.
- Add Something Funny
It’s great to make them laugh. However, don’t feel too pressured if you can’t.
Remember, the goal is to express how you genuinely feel to him/her.
