the man who can’t be moved \\ heidi + joe \\ same-day edit

by: Chris Dumlao

I spoke to Joe before the wedding ceremony and asked him how he was doing and how he was preparing himself for the big moment.  On the outside, he seemed to be doing okay – very calm and prepared.  Then he told me how nervous he was for his vows.  Since they each wrote their own vows, he was worried that he might get emotional and sound weird.  I told him not to worry about that, and just focus on his words – let the moment take him in, and everything should sound fine.

So he got up there, pulled out his paper with his vows written on it, and began with these words, “I’ve spent many nights writing this, but what it says on paper is not what is important.”  Then he folded it back up again, and began to freestyle his vows.  What he ended up saying was one of the best vows I have ever heard – simple, emotional, and from the heart…
