We’ve all heard that song come on the radio that sings itself directly into our hearts. And when you’re in love, there’s nothing better than good ol’ back home lyrics to fan the flame of passion. So what better way to tell your intended that you’ll be theirs forever than in wedding vows inspired by country music? Not to mention that every time you hear it, you’ll always be reminded of that special moment. Here are a few tips to find the right words.
Choose the tone
Whether you want your vows to be humorous, touching, romantic, or traditional, there’s sure to be a song choice that’s a perfect match for your relationship.
Change it up
Whether you incorporate your own words, traditional vows, or use a compilation of different verses from various country songs, there’s no better way to say, “I do” than with tried and true love lyrics. But that doesn’t mean you have to copy them word for word! Change the tense or switch certain words to make it your own.
Create an outline
At the end of the day, it’s simple. Choose the words that you feel resonate with you. Make an outline and time it right. Right around a minute is optimal and won’t leave your guests yawning in their seats.
Cue your voice
Be sure to practice by reading it out loud! Repetition is your friend. There’s nothing like looking into your partner’s eyes while declaring your love. Here a few examples to get your creative juices flowing.
When You Got A Good Thing – Lady Antebellum
Everybody keeps telling me I’m such a lucky man
Lookin’ at you standin’ there I know I am
Barefooted beauty with eyes that blue
The sun shine sure looks good on you
I swear
Oh I can’t believe I finally found you baby
Happy ever after, after all this time
Oh there’s gonna be some ups and downs
but with you to wrap my arms around I’m fine
Give It All We Got Tonight – George Straight
Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there’s no one else but us and
This moment that says it’s so right
‘Cause that’s all we have in this life
Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight
Lost In This Moment With You – Big & Rich
Lost in this moment with you
I am completely consumed
My feelings so absolute
there’s no doubt
Sealing our love with a kiss
Waiting my whole life for this
Watching all my dreams come true
Lost in this moment with you
Little Moments – Brad Paisley
I know she’s not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn’t ’cause how boring would that be
It’s the little imperfections it’s the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we’re lost but holdin’ hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
