How to write your love story for a wedding website
How to write the love story for your wedding website: what to include, how long to make it, examples in three tones, and a builder that drafts it from five answers.
A wedding website love story works best at 100 to 200 words: how you met, a first date or early memory, the moment you knew, and the proposal, told in your own voice. Guests read it on a phone, so keep it short and specific. Answer five questions below for a first draft.
Write your love story from five answers
Choose a tone, answer the questions, and get a short story for your wedding website. Then make it sound like you.
What should the story include?
- How you met. Where and when, in one sentence.
- One early memory. A first date, a trip, a running joke.
- The moment you knew. Small and specific beats grand and vague.
- The proposal. Where it happened, and what was said.
Who should write it?
Either of you, or both, taking turns. Some couples write it as "we"; others write two short paragraphs, one each, telling the same story from both sides. Guests love the second.
How do you make it sound like you?
Read it aloud. If a sentence is not something you would say, change it. Keep the details that only you would know: the name of the café, the song that was playing. Cut anything you would not want a grandparent to read.
Where does it go on the site?
After the welcome message and the essentials. Guests come for the date and place first. See what to put on your wedding website and the welcome message guide.
