When you think about the person you’re about to marry, you feel ridiculously happy to have him or her in your life. You’re excited for the adventures you’ve already shared, and the ones to come. You can’t wait for the big day, and especially the killer party afterwards. But even though you’re certain in your decision to wed, putting how you feel about this special human is a nearly-impossible task.
No matter how confident someone may be in their relationship, not everyone has the right language to express their sentiments. In addition to utilizing strategies to fight writer’s block and following a template, another effective measure is getting inspired by viral vow videos.
Though you probably don’t want to plagiarize from these couples who put their blood, sweat and tears into these special words, you can at least get your juices flowing with their stories. Here, some we highly recommend checking out.
