I love you — my chest is loud and proud while you read those promises.

I love you, holding your bouquet for a moment because your hands trembled.

I love you — right now, standing in front of everyone, I only want you.

I love you; hearing your laugh during the vows made the room better.

I love you, [Name], I’m holding onto your coat because it smells like you.

I love you, I can’t stop replaying the first line you spoke this morning.

I love you — the ribbon on your bouquet flutters and I feel steady.

I love you, sitting here with your hand in mine before we walk out.

I love you, [Name], and hearing your voice say our names made me sure.

I love you; I can’t stop smiling while you promise your vows.

Meet me on the balcony after the last song and don’t be late.

I’m thrilled we get to tell our story to people who know us.

I am full of relief that you chose this life with me.

Your boutonnière fell when you bowed and I will carry it for you.

I want to be the person who makes you tea on rainy mornings.

I noticed you rewound the playlist just to hear our song again.

Say my name when you say your vows and I will remember this forever.

You spilled a bit of cake on your dress and it made me laugh.

I feel lighter already, having you beside me before we say anything.

I love that your hands shake a little when you pass me the bouquet.

When you slip the ring on, I will be all there — nothing else.

I kept your ticket from our first concert in my pocket today.

My suit smells like your perfume and I keep checking because it steadies me.

I want the messy mornings with you as much as this ceremony, [Name].

You misplaced your cufflink and I handed you mine without a word, [Name].

I’m thinking of the small pause before we say I do, [Name].

I’ll make coffee tomorrow and the day after and the day after that, [Name].

You traced the edge of the invitation and I watched you, [Name].

You tucked a photo into your bouquet and that made the morning softer, [Name].

I saw your face when the music started and I exhaled, [Name].

I want to promise small things as well as big ones today, [Name].

Your button came loose and I’ll sew it during the reception, [Name].

You borrowed my pen and I’ll give it back after we sign, [Name].

My left hand is sweaty and I’m ready to take yours, [Name].

I kept your wedding playlist in my head walking up the aisle, [Name].

You asked if my tie matched; it did because of you, [Name].

My shoes are scuffed from running here and I don’t mind, [Name].

Seeing your mum wave made me think I’m exactly where I belong, [Name].

Your laugh at breakfast is the small thing I kept replaying walking in, [Name].

You spilled coffee on your shirt and I thought, of course, that’s you, [Name].
