WRITING TIP: If you're having a hard time writing your story, try telling your story into the recording app on your phone, sometimes it's easier to get the words out this way. Then you can dictate what you said onto the page and edit how you like. OR, you can always record it interview style with your spouse and send it in like an interview - this is always fun!
Have fun writing your Love Story. This is a time for you both to reminisce on the incredible journey you've been through together, so enjoy the experience. And finally, Congratulations to you both on your beautiful relationship! We can't wait to read and share your Love Story.
