Simple Quotes Playful Quotes Religious Quotes Quotes About Partnership
As exhilarating as it is to be newly engaged, it can be all too easy to get swept up in the wedding planning process and lose sight of what those endless checklists are actually about: celebrating the love between you and your partner. But with that celebration and planning will eventually come the need to dive into your vows, whether you're writing your own or opting for an officiant's help. Either way, including a romantic quote is a great way to spark inspiration and truly express your love for your spouse.
How to Incorporate Quotes Into Your Vows
The perfect quote might just be the thing you need to dive in on your vows. "Reading through love-focused quotes can sometimes be the nudge that someone needs to start expressing themselves in a certain way," says wedding officiant Bethel Nathan. "Or sometimes it can give them the needed words around which they can build their vows." Consider these tips if you're thinking about incorporating a quote into your own vows:
• Select a quote that's authentic and meaningful to you.
• Choose a quote that truly relates back to your relationship.
• Don't worry too much about whether all of your guests will understand the selected quote.
