EPISODE 21 SHOW NOTES

 

PREMIER WEDDING VOW WRITING SERVICE

 

BUY YOUR WEDDING VOWS WITH PRIDE



XO Juliet was born out of necessity, when founder Alexis Dent — an award-winning writer and author — noticed a common frustration and fear being expressed by her peers preparing to tie the knot. It went a little something like this: “I want to say my own vows at my wedding, but I’m not quite sure I can write them.”

 

That’s where XO Juliet comes in. A luxury wedding service designed to help with all wedding-related speaking engagements, XO Juliet can tackle everything from personalized vows to best man speeches with delicacy, enthusiasm, intimacy, and authenticity.

 

Don’t let an uneasiness about writing and elocution hold you back from sharing the vow or speech of a lifetime. Team XO Juliet will work with you to capture the love in your heart and convey it in terms you’ve always felt but have struggled to express on your own.

 

When planning a wedding, there are many lists to check off and services on which to splurge. It can be stressful; we know. XO Juliet will provide seamless execution and client satisfaction that will have you taking our words and gladly sharing them with others. Just call us your something borrowed, and place us right next to your something blue.

 

What are the services XO Juliet provides?

Why people decide to have custom written vows?

How professionally written vows are still authentic?

Quotes:

 

“A big portion of our revenue is wedding party speeches.”

 

“We put your love on paper.”

 

“If you can convey your love to us orally or written, it might be a little blotchy & you may flub it but then we can use that to piece together into something that’s going to shine.”

 

“When you decide you’re going to do a non-denominational ceremony, you king of don’t really know where to go next if you’re not a great writer.”

 

“We aren’t telling you what you feel about your relationship, we’re simply packaging it in a way that is receptive to your audience, and more importantly, to your partner.”



“What do you want your vows to do? Do you want them to make your audience laugh, cry, or inspire?”

 

“Do not repeat the same lines. Do not just try to go for something that you think sounds good. Make it about something that you know is true in your heart.”

 

“Celebrities truly are no different than we are. The only thing that is different is that there is more at risk by saying that they had some random stranger in upstate New York write their vows.”

 

“One thing people feel like they should steer away from is mentioning some negative things in their vows, but there is always a positive way to lace negative parts of a relationship.”

 

“Don’t be afraid to include things that aren’t so pretty.”

 

“Writing your vows is a really big undertaking, you can love your partner or love the friend that you are toasting as much as you could possibly love them, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you feel comfortable putting those words on paper.”

 

“If you’re a member of the wedding party, it’s no different than getting fitted for a suit. You’re not going to go sew the suit yourself, you don’t have to write the toast yourself, what matters is that it comes from your heart and that it encompasses the relationship.”
