The short answer

Write about the stretch between yes and the wedding. Mention how it feels to plan a life together, one detail from how you got engaged, and a promise for the day ahead. Keep the tone hopeful and specific.

What to gather before you write

  • How the engagement happened
  • A thing you are looking forward to after the wedding
  • What you have learned about them while planning
  • A promise you want to make

Three lyric angles

The yes

Sample line

You said yes before I finished the question, and I'm still smiling.

Planning a life

Sample line

We argued about flowers and agreed on everything that mattered.

The promise

Whatever the aisle looks like, I'm walking toward you.
