As a wedding celebrant, I have the privilege of witnessing the exchange of vows, a pivotal moment in every couple's journey. The Australian Marriage Act 1961 mandates all couples to exchange legal vows, but I always encourage my couples to go a step further – to personalize their vows. This not only complies with the legal requirements but also adds a unique and memorable touch to their special day.
Through the years, I've been moved by countless vows, each special in its own way. Yet, there was one particular set of vows that left an indelible mark on my heart. The effort and emotion the bride and groom poured into their words were remarkable. Their vows weren’t just promises; they were a beautiful narrative of their love, transformation, and commitment.
Today, I’m thrilled to share the bride’s vow – a poem titled “I Do”, which she graciously allowed me to publish. This poem is not just a vow; it's a testament to their journey and love.
This heartfelt vow, along with the groom's equally touching words, was left to me as a gift – a treasure I hold dear. Their trust and the honor of being part of their story is something I cherish deeply. These vows now reside in my treasure box, a reminder of the beautiful bond I witness in my role as a celebrant, accompanying me for life.
