Couples are often worried about writing their own vows. The pressure of saying just the “right thing” stresses them out. So instead of the vows, we at Santa Barbara Classic Weddings offer a fun and different approach: writing Love Notes.
Love Notes are simply the things they love the most about each other. They can be funny, sentimental, full of memories, deeply revealing — you name it! Whatever it said to each other on the day of the marriage is always personal and very intimate. Lots of tears, sweet smiles and often some serious laughter!
The process is easy: we send examples of what other couples have said – for inspiration. That seems to stimulate everyone’s own comfort in writing what they actually want to say. After writing their Love Notes, each of the couple emails the words – separately. That way each of them hears it for the first time at their ceremony.
Couples have said numerous times that saying and hearing each other’s Love Notes was the best part of their wedding, so don’t be shy, start writing!
