  • Not sure what the second line from the end is about, but otherwise these are beautiful.
  • @Jen4948, the first is the day we met, the second is our wedding day.
  • These are beautiful. They legitimately made me tear up.

  • Very sweet! Are you sharing these with FW ahead of time or saving them for the ceremony?

    I'm saving them for the ceremony.  :)
  • I think they're a bit much. I think you could cut several of them, and doing so would make the ones left resonate more.

    I'll time myself reading them and see if they're too long, and then I may condense them.

    Thanks everyone!
  • I think they are really nice. You could shorten a bit by promising a few things together and reducing the number of times you say "I promise".
  • Wow.  I'll admit I teared up, too.  That's really beautiful.  Your future wife is a lucky lady.
  • I love these. I'd like to use them for my own wedding when and if I ever get married!
