A FEW PAGES, JUST AS THEY ARE

Begin With the Person in Front of You

Whether you share your vows in public or in private, begin by writing to your partner. Picture their face rather than the room. What do you want them to understand about being loved by you? What have you noticed that another person might miss? A useful first sentence can be plain enough to say across the kitchen table. You can shape it for the ceremony after you know what you mean.

About this book.

Find the words by beginning with the person you know: an ordinary memory, a small act of care, and the promises you mean to make. Guided writing pages take you from those first notes to a spoken draft, with room to consider privacy, humor, pacing, and your closing line.
