Letter to Your Groom before the Wedding

We're doing this. We wanted to write our own vows, but we didn't want to exchange them in front of everyone during the ceremony because we knew we would both be blubbering messes if we did that. We are exchanging the vows that we wrote in letters beforehand.

Yes I am planning on it. For the exact same reason as Katie90. I prefer to exchange those intimate vows and feelings privately. We're getting ready separately, so he'll just have it with him while he's getting ready, I'll probably give it to the best man (his brother) the night before.

I'm considering it because I'm better at writing my feelings than saying them.

Yes, we both wrote letters to each other that we included with our gifts and had delivered to each other while we were getting ready. It was a great way to touch base with each other during the loooong time period of not seeing each other that day.

Yes. We aren't writing our own goes for the ceremony, but we will be writing a letter to each other beforehand. It will really mean a lot to both of us to read that personal sentiment before walking down the aisle.

We are as well. We both wrote a letter to each other shortly after we got engaged, and we're going to write one more shortly before the wedding. We'll read them both the morning of our wedding.

When we got engaged I bought a journal off etsy, with our monogram on it, and it says, "Reasons I want to marry you" with our date at the bottom.

I've been writing in it daily, and I'll give that to him before the wedding.

We did. It was one of my favorite moments of the day

DH and I are not the best writers so we did not write our vows but I loved being able to read how he felt about our wedding day and our future together.

I cried- here's me reading my letter

We did this in part of our required pre marital counseling thing. It was cute and sweet but there's not much more we could write now that would be different than then so no we aren't writing letters the day of

We did because we weren't allowed to say our own vows to each other during the ceremony being a Catholic wedding. So we wrote what would have been our vows to each other and then we read each others with our videographer right before our 1st look. I love that we have the letters being read recorded forever with our wedding videos.

I want to, have to convince FH to

Great minds think alike?? FH and I will also be doing this because we'd cry way to hard if we did personalized vows in front of everyone, so we're using these letters as a way to say all those things!

I don't know what he's doing, but I will be writing a letter to go with his gift.

We are planning on writing a letter to exchange the morning of our wedding.

I highly recommend doing a letter or card. We got each other cards and a gift. Our videographer got to film it and we were both in tears. It was really sweet and I loved it. One of my favorite parts of the day.

I'm definitely planning to exchange letters. We are doing traditional vows so this will be a way to say more personal ones privately. @mimitrue that is such a good idea! I'm hoping we have room in the budget to get a videographer and I'm totally stealing this idea

We plan to do this. FH is pretty private and would have a really hard time writing his own vows and doing them in front of people. Plus, it is something to look back on. I'm really excited to do this!

I wrote DH a letter and left it in his changing station and someone moved it so he didn't even know about it until afterward!

@angela I loooove that idea. Start your first dull day as married with a private moment. I would cry too too much if I did before pictures.

We're planning to do this. Ideally, I'd like us to be standing back-to-back around either side of a door frame, holding hands (we don't want a first look). I think it would be a wonderful, private moment for us to share our love with each other before we say our vows in front of our family and friends.

I think this may be the picture I'm most looking forward to - the moment just before our lives change and intermingle in a whole new way.
