What Should You Say To Your Groom?
Reflect
Your wedding day is a great time to reflect on your relationship so far – the ups and downs, and how you have got through them together, as a team.
You can also talk about how you have grown together as a couple, and made each other better people.
The strongest relationships are often the ones where you bring out the best in each other and challenge each other to grow. The overarching theme of these comments should be unity, strength and gratitude.
Reminisce
When you get married, you are very focused on the future you are building together, but this is also a great time to look back fondly on the past.
Think of a few funny anecdotes of your time together – times when you were laughing uncontrollably, happy memories you have made, and maybe even the moment that you realized you wanted to be with your groom forever.
It’s very romantic to talk about these times with your partner and look back on fond memories.
Explain
This might seem obvious, but it is important to tell your groom that you love them. But not just that, you should also explain why you love them.
There is nothing more heart-warming than hearing the person you love explain the reasons why they love you, and all their favorite things about you. It will make your groom feel secure, appreciated, and solidifies your commitment to them.
You can also tell your groom all the little things they do that keep you falling in love with them over and over again.
Anticipate
If you are writing a letter to give to your groom on the morning of the wedding, you can include some comments about the wedding itself.
Mention what you are looking forward to – perhaps you are excited about exchanging your vows, cutting the cake, or sharing your first dance together as a married couple.
This will help to build anticipation for the day, and make those moments even more special when they come about.
Complement
The bride gets a lot of attention on the wedding day, but it is important that the groom feels complemented as well. His wedding suit will probably be one of the nicest suits he will ever wear, and he deserves to feel special in it.
Make sure you take a moment on your wedding day to tell your groom how good he looks. This can also help to build the suspense for the wedding night!
Look Forward
Finish off by talking about your future together as a married couple. Your wedding day is a time of hope – you can look at your bright future and be excited about what you have in store.
Whatever future you have dreamed of together, it begins today! It won’t always be easy, but you will always have each other.
This is a perfect moment to affirm your commitment to your groom and remind him that you will always be there to support him, as he will be for you.
How Do You Write A Letter To Your Groom?
Writing a letter for your groom to open on the morning of the wedding is a romantic gesture and a great way to start off your special day. But how do you go about writing the letter?
Find A Peaceful Place
You should start by putting some time aside to write your letter in a peaceful environment. Make sure there are no distractions and that you won’t be interrupted.
Make A Draft
It might take several attempts to get the wording right, so don’t start writing the real letter straight away. Make a draft on some scrap paper or even type it up.
When you are happy with the letter you can write it out neatly.
Write From The Heart
It is important that your letter sounds genuine and not contrived. The tone of the letter should be similar to how you usually speak – don’t make it too formal or it won’t feel personal.
Sometimes it’s easier to say how you really feel when you write it down, so don’t be afraid to let those feelings flow.
Be Inspired
If you hit a wall and you are struggling with writer’s block, take some time away from writing to look for inspiration.
Flick through some old photographs of you and your partner and think about how you felt in those moments and what memories you were making.
Read through old messages – it can be touching to see how much your communication has changed over time as you become more comfortable with each other, but also to be reminded of the excitement of the first few months of dating.
Make Him Laugh
Most people get wedding day jitters. You have planned the day for months, sometimes years. All of your friends and family will be there. You have to speak your vows in front of lots of people.
It can be quite a nervous time. The best way to loosen up and shake off some of those nerves is with laughter.
Stationary
A handwritten letter is such a romantic thing to receive. Make sure that your final letter is written neatly, in a nice pen. Choose stationary that is good quality and that looks good – you want the letter to last and to be nicely presented.
Think of a nice way to round off the letter – maybe you have a nickname for each other you could use, or you could put on some lipstick and end the letter with a kiss.
Summary
With these tips, you will be able to think of the perfect things to say to your groom on your wedding day.
