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

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].
