about Vows
The heart of any wedding ceremony is the vows. Not the
dry legal statement that is required to create the
contract of marriage between you, but the personal
promises you make to one another. Although there is so
much said about writing your own vows being stressful,

speaking to one another about your commitment to them
and to your relationship. It is saying

you my magic easy-as method. And it will be fantastic on
the day.
