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; saying our names aloud feels exactly right.

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 love how your voice hitches just before you laugh.

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

I am not perfect and I will apologize when I’m wrong.

Keep the napkin from dinner tonight; I’m keeping mine too.

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.

I’m happy and terrified in the best way because of you.

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 am here for the boring laundry days after today, too.

I’m relieved we made it here together, in these shoes and this suit.

I’ll steal fries from your plate at the party, as promised.

The cufflink you lent me fits better than I expected.

I am proud of us right now.

Stay close during the vows, even if your voice shakes.

I’m grinning because your father’s joke made you blush.

Your tie is crooked and I like fixing it again today.

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

Meet me under the arch after the ceremony, [Name].

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.

Please save the first dance for me, [Name].

I am nervous but steady because you are here.

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

Hold my hand when we walk out, [Name].
