Vows (that you wrote)

Let’s talk vows.

Not the copy-and-paste ones. Not the ones you found scrolling Pinterest at midnight. I’m talking your vows — the real ones. The ones that sound like you, feel like you, and make everyone in the room tear up because they’re true.

Your vows don’t need to be poetic or polished or sound like Shakespeare wrote them after three wines. They don’t need fancy metaphors or dramatic declarations (unless that’s your thing!). They just need to come from the gut. From the real bits of your love story.

Say the weird little things. The quiet truths. The stuff no one else sees.

Like how they always leave one square of chocolate in the packet for you. How you love the way they snort when they laugh. How they make you feel safe, seen, and like the best version of yourself. How you can’t wait to build a life full of slow mornings, strong coffee, and dancing in the kitchen with your kids one day.

That’s what hits. That’s what lasts.

Forget what you think vows should sound like. Just speak from the heart. Speak like it’s 10pm on the couch and you’re telling your person how much you love them after a long day.

Because that’s what people remember — the honesty, the humour, the humanness.

So when it’s time to write yours, don’t aim for perfect. Aim for real. Think about the tiny details that only the two of you share. The inside jokes. The shared dreams. The hard-won love that’s grown through life’s ordinary magic.

Write like you’re speaking straight to your person — not an audience.

And if you need help finding those words? That’s what I’m here for. I’ll walk beside you, help pull those truths out of your heart, and make sure the ceremony feels like you from start to finish.

Because love isn’t about the grand gestures. It’s about the small, consistent, beautiful ones.

And your vows? They’re just one more way to say: I see you, I love you, and I choose you — exactly as you are.
