Discussion What do you think of my vows

0 Upvotes

When I was young, I learned quickly, that the things you love can be gone in an instant and ever since then I promised to never let anyone in... but then you came along, when most people hear that I tried to kill myself, they run away. You stayed. You see something in me, to this day I don't see in myself. You constantly make me want to be a better person. Because no matter what I do I will never, EVER deserve you. I knew I loved you the moment I realized, I didn't have to fix myself to be loved by you. For so long I felt the weight of trying to earn, what could never be earned. But with you, I found a love that doesn't demand I perform.

A love that see's me, chooses me, and one that stays. I am so madly in love with you, because I can't imagine a life without you. I would rather wipe your tears 1,000 times, than let you drown in silence believing no one sees you. I will see your scars, your flaws, I will see you crying at 2am, your mood swings. I will see you hungry, dramatic, jealous, tired, messy, everything! I will see her on the bad days, the worst days, and the days she won’t even like herself. I will sit with you until the light comes. And yet, every version of her will make me fall in love with you a little more. Because True friendship and love include the right to share another's sorrow, and being shut out from a friend's mourning feels like a deep humiliation.

And I will say it a million times: "She will be the best thing that has ever happened to me. She will be perfect!" In the words of Ozzy Osbourne "I don't ask much, I just want you!!"

I wanna close out with 2 Bible verses; taken from, Proverbs 31:29 & Ruth 1:16

"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."

“Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die— there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!”

Album MILK Books Album

2 Upvotes

I'm finally getting around to making my wedding album, and I'm pretty set on MILK Books but now I noticed a lot of the reviews/posts I see are ads or incentivized reviews. This is a big investment, but I’m willing to pay a little extra for something that will hold up years from now and be the best quality possible for a DIY album. Has anyone actually used MILK Books for their wedding album (specifically the premium layflat photo album, in either Salt linen or metallic pearl cover colors)? How was the quality of the pages and photo printing in the actual book? Let me know your 100% HONEST thoughts please!

Discussion Choreographed Dance songs?

3 Upvotes

My fiance and I are planning a choreographed dance and we want to use snippets of maybe 5-10 songs (maybe 2 minutes in total) and dance to them. Could be classic dances, think Carlton with "Its Not Unusual", "Staying Alive" etc etc but also other popular songs with a made up dance (or not). what are some other songs that would be good for a dance? All suggestions welcome!

Discussion Has anyone taken their wedding photos before getting married?

5 Upvotes

So, my fiance and I want to have a micro destination wedding of about 15 people total.

We want to take private moody photos at this castle we found, but don't want to get married there because it's very expensive (the location allows wedding photos even if not having a wedding there).

Anyway, the reason I was thinking of taking the photos before the actual wedding is so that the guests don't have to wait for us after the wedding. We're not having a typical reception, just a private dinner at night.

For example, it could either go two ways:

  1. We get married at whatever location we choose, get the family photos, and then my fiance and I would leave to go to the castle for our private photos. The castle would probably be an hour away max. The ceremony plus family photos would probably be very short, I'm assuming. And the guests would have to do something during the day while we leave to take the private photos

OR

  1. My fiance and I (along with my mom and sister) stay overnight at the castle (its a hotel). I get ready with my mom and sister in the morning. My fiance and I have our first look. And then we take our private photos. My mom and sister could either stay or go do something else. I think it could be special to get moody photos with my mom and sister too, but its not necessary. After the photos, we then drive to our wedding location, have the ceremony and take family photos, then have the private dinner at night.

Which idea makes more sense? If you were a guest, what would you rather do?
