Vows are one of the most important parts of a wedding ceremony and is the one time during the wedding day where you publicly commit your love to one another. Gea found that couples often find it difficult to express their true love and feelings for their spouse in front of others. Hiring a professional vow writer ensures that your vows convey your exact feelings to your spouse and become a culmination of your entire love story compacted into the sweetest vows. Gea’s process of vow writing includes getting to know the couple, both individually and as a partnership, so that their vows are as personal as they want them to be. She works with them to craft traditional, personal, creative or religious vows that incorporate inside jokes, touching memories or anything you feel is important to include during your ceremony.
Most couples wait until the last second to write their vows and miss out on including some important pieces in the process, which is where a professional vow writer steps in to aid this loss. Gea recommends to begin writing your vows in the month before your wedding. The best way to incorporate your thoughts is to start by jotting down some notes, write an outline and go back and forth to create your final wedding day vows.
“Bottom line, don’t wait until the last minute and make sure there’s a certain level of comfort with your words.” – Gea
Once you feel your vows are where you want them to be, Gea’s top tip is to practice reading them aloud in front of a mirror or to a close friends and family you trust to ensure you’ll feel confident during your ceremony. When crafting your vows with Gea, she recommends incorporating a little about yourself, who you were before your relationship and how you’ve grown because of the relationship. Always add words of affection and appreciation to your new spouse while also incorporating your strengths and what you promise to bring into this new stage of your relationship. The good thing about wedding vows on your wedding day is that they are yours! You can be as silly or serious as you want when committing yourself to your spouse, but remember that these words are completely custom to you as a couple.
