You probably can’t tell it here, but I write for a living. Mostly advertising/newsletter/sales stuff, but every day I go to work and put (digital) pen to paper for money. And you’d think that’d make writing my wedding vows easy…but the honest truth is, I’m struggling.
In fact, it’s straight-up hard. Hard enough that I sometimes wish for a religious ceremony with a set script. And I take comfort in knowing Mr. W isn’t done with his either, but still…I should have this one in the bag!
Here’s the REALLY ridiculous thing: I’ve been working on my vows since October. I actually started writing them on a work retreat to Joshua Tree.

Not pictured: The horrifying snake that slithered through our picnic.
And while I took plenty of pictures of cacti…I did NOT come up with a coherent version of my vows then. Or on Christmas break. Or any of the mornings I’ve sat down to write.
And I DEFINITELY didn’t write a good draft of the vows while hopped up on sinus meds last week.
SO what’s the holdup" Honestly…I’m not sure. I know how I feel about Mr. W. I know why I want to marry him. I 100% know what I don’t want to share with the general public. But I’m stuck on how to express myself.

One more, because photos of my scribbles in my vow notebook aren’t interesting at all. I climbed that big-ass rock.
In some ways, it’s the most important piece of writing of my life...
