There’s a quiet pause before the vows begin. You’re standing there, suit just right, hands maybe a little clammy, and everyone’s waiting. She’s looking at you, expecting to hear something that will stay with her for a lifetime. This is your chance to speak the truest words you’ve ever said in front of the people who matter most. That’s when the doubt creeps in. The lines you scribbled at midnight last week suddenly feel too sweet, too dramatic, or just… not right. The thought of sounding like you pulled half your vows off a movie poster is enough to make you want to start over. Good news — you don’t have to throw them out. You just need to strip away the fluff and get to the heart of it.
