As many of our couples are finding out, we strive to learn who you are before we write your ceremony. So many people that we talk to don't want the standard and want something personal. Hence, this little tidbit. We had found that one of our grooms spent the morning posting sticky notes all over the house with little love notes on why he loved his bride.
Following is an excerpt from that ceremony.
I, Matt, take you Emily to be my wife,
To be my partner in life and my one true love.
Together we will create a home and a life that we can cherish.
I will love you as you are and not as I want you to be,
I will love you more each day than I did the day before.
I will grow old by your side as your love and best friend.I promise to remember to leave little sticky notes all over the house now and again…
And I will cherish you for as long as we both shall live.
I, Emily, take you Matt to be my husband,
To be my partner in life and my one true love.
Together we will create a home and a life that we can cherish.
I will love you as you are and not as I want you to be,
I will love you more each day than I did the day before.
I will grow old by your side as your love and best friend.
I promise not to get too upset if you forget to put the sticky notes back where they belong…
And I will cherish you for as long as we both shall live.
Even during the final blessing, I handed the groom a stack of sticky notes with pre- written love notes on them and asked that he never run out of sticky notes.
It doesn't seem like much really, but the guests, the bride and groom all loved the little bit of "them" written in. Granted, there was more about the couple than what you see, but I hope it gives you an idea of what we do and the effort we put into the ceremonies we write.
