Affirmations
The idea is that you each write about four or five things you love, admire and respect about your partner. Make each item into a couple of sentences, don’t discuss with your partner what you have written and and send them in independently.
Write these in the first person as you’ll be saying them directly to your partner on the day. (e.g. “I love your…, I respect you because…, When you… I feel…”)
Ask a close friend who knows you both well to write about how they see the relationship, perhaps a little about what they saw and remember when you met. Ask them to reflect on some of the strengths they see in you as a couple, what they feel about what you’re doing in having this ceremony and ask them to send it to us directly.
This is not the same as the Best Man’s speech which often seeks to tell various embarrassing stories, so choose someone who can do this particular task.
