Your wedding day is the one day you promise to love each other
and make your vows to each other. Try to make your vows more personal so
that they have real meaning to you both. There is nothing quite so
moving as a bride or groom speaking their vows to each other and being
overcome by the emotion and importance of the words they are saying.
That break in the voice as the groom's throat constricts and he is
overwhelmed with love as he offers his bride his love and devotion is
one of the most memorable moments of any wedding.
It would be hard
not to love the idea of beautifully written verse and deep and
meaningful words spoken in mellifluous tones but don't be put off if you
are not a fan of classic literature and don't use words you don't fully
understand. All, that will happen is that you will feel foolish and the
sentiment will be lost. Don't be afraid to include a particularly
poignant song lyric or quote from a favourite film, book or poem if it
has meaning for you.
"You had me at hello" is just as romantic as anything by Keats or Byron if it means something to you both.
Incidentally, there is nothing wrong with promising to wash the dishes or cook the dinner either! Just make sure you mean it.
