Exchanging letters on your wedding day is a deeply intimate way to connect with each other.

It’s a little different to vows, since vows are usually shorter and shared publicly during the ceremony, while letters are more personal and kept between the both of you.

Sample Letter

For inspiration, here’s a sample letter that balances emotion and simplicity:

“My Beloved A,

As I sit down to write this letter on the eve of our wedding, my heart is overflowing with emotions—love, excitement, and gratitude. I find myself reflecting on our journey together, and I am overwhelmed by the countless moments that have brought us to this day.

I remember the first time we met as if it were yesterday. I was instantly drawn to your warmth and kindness. That day marked the beginning of an incredible adventure, one that has been filled with laughter, growth, and unwavering support. From our spontaneous road trips to our quiet evenings at home, every moment with you has been a cherished memory.

One of my favorite memories is our trip to Europe last fall. The air was crisp, and the leaves were slowly beginning to fall. We hiked to the top of that peak, and as we stood there, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. It was in that moment that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Your adventurous spirit, your love for nature, and your ability to find beauty in the simplest things have taught me to appreciate life in a whole new way.

Your unwavering support has been my rock through the ups and downs. When I decided to switch careers, you were my biggest cheerleader. Your belief in me gave me the courage to pursue my dreams. I’ll never forget the nights you stayed up with me, offering words of encouragement when I felt like giving up. Your faith in me has been a guiding light, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

I adore your quirky sense of humor, the way you make me laugh even on the toughest days. Your laugh is contagious, and your ability to find joy in the smallest things reminds me to never take life too seriously. Those little moments, seemingly insignificant, are the ones that makes me smile when I recall them.

I want to never take you for granted. I will cherish the small moments, the everyday rituals that define our relationship. I will continue to grow with you, to learn from you, and to strive to be the best partner I can be.”

Love,
