Palm Springs Wedding Officant | The Vow Keeper

All I love, All I ever need, Is you.

Without you my love, I am lost.

Every time I look at you, I am breathless.

Every time I hold you in my arms, I feel like I am home.

I loved you yesterday. I love you today. I'll love you tomorrow.

Deep abiding affection, the magical and compelling shared impulse that makes us seek each other’s company, is amongst the greatest gifts of the human experience. No Matter Your Age, the BEAUTY OF LOVE is sharing it, learning from it, growing from it, and experiencing everything that LOVE has to offer. Any of us who has been fortunate enough to find and express the kind of loving devotion that you are celebrating, knows that it is an awesome and beautiful blessing.

Your spoken wedding words are the most important piece of your wedding ceremony. Your wedding words will be the foundation to build your relationship and marriage upon and are sacred to you as a couple. It should express all your feelings and thoughts about the person you are about to be joined in marriage with, and remember, these are your thoughts and promises to your spouse that you will have to uphold throughout your married life together. Speak your wedding words from your heart, say what you want to say to your partner and your wedding words will be remembered and cherished for all the days to come.
