Any good speechwriter will tell you that they start on their draft months prior to the big day. Why? Because they need time to write, write some more, delete, rewrite, edit and finalize. That’s the difference between an amateur and a professional. Which do you want to be on your wedding day?

When your script flips from casual dating to dating for marriage, you begin to look at every relationship from a different lens and ask yourself, Could he be the one? The answer to this tough question comes down to whether or not he checks off all your non-negotiables. Most people overlook red flags on their deal-breaker list in hopes that someone they have chemistry with will change their behavior or come around to a different way of thinking. If you’re wondering how to know if he’s the one, passion and chemistry are important. But it’s not everything.

There’s one aspect of a wedding that many couples neglect to share on their big day and that’s their love story…how you came to be, standing there in front of a bunch of people.

Every couple has a love story. It’s the question you’re always asked before you say I Do… “How did you guys meet?” “How did he ask you out?” “How did he propose?” And let’s face it, it’s our favorite story to tell. Your eyes light up and your heart skips a beat talking about the day when you and the love of your life first met. That pivotal point in history when your lives changed forever. It’s your first date, your first kiss, your first time meeting his family, and the moment he asked you to be his bride. Leading up to your wedding, it’s important to remember why you’re spending all of that time and money planning. To take a step back reminisce on everything that led up to “I do.”
That’s where Love Notery comes in. Kristen Rocco, a professional writer, story-teller, and entrepreneur, is your personal journalist to document every sweet detail of your love story.
How The Bachelor Is Ruining Love
Refinery29
Kristen Rocco
I’ve been a Bachelor viewer since season 1. I can barely believe that I’ve dedicated 14 years' worth of Monday nights to watching women come and go, men cry, upwards of 500 repetitions of the question "Will you accept this rose?", and more emotional breakdowns than I can count. It's been an entertaining ride — but also a more insidious one than I would have believed as I sat rapturously watching the first season as a college freshman.

4 Ways To Include Your Love Story In Your Wedding Day
Something Turquoise
Kristen Rocco
When I was planning my own wedding back in 2013, it never occurred to me to include our love story in the elements of our wedding day. Your love story is all those moments, big and small, over the span of your relationship that created the foundation of your love for each other. If I could do it over, I would have thought harder about how to incorporate little details into my special day that created a story for my wedding guests about how Greg (my now husband) and I fell in love.

The wedding, it’s expected. Months and perhaps years have been put into planning this special day, but what about the back story? How did these two souls among billions meet? And what more, how did they fall in love? It’s a simple premise that can easily lose itself in the pomp and circumstance of a wedding ceremony.
Yet it is this element of a couple’s love story — its foundation — where Love Notery finds its niche.

6 Love Story Trends That Will Warm Your Heart This Valentine's Day
Huffington Post
Kristen Rocco
I can unequivocally say that every love story is different. Each has its own twists and turns that represents all the defining moments of a couple's relationship. Even in the days of online dating where you might imagine that "how we met" stories stack up similarly, there are nuances to every circumstance that makes it wildly different than the last.
But there are some similarities too. Not in the specific details, but when you look close enough, you can see themes that shine through to be the rule rather than the exception.

Why You Probably Shouldn't Plan a Bachelorette Party Weekend

Thinking of planning a trip for your bachelorette party? You'd better plan accordingly, or you could lose some friends.

7 Things To Know For The First Year Of Marriage
Brides.com
Whitney C. Harris
For newlyweds, marriage is filled with so many hopes and expectations. With that in mind, we asked recent brides who've been married five or fewer years for their advice on that first critical year.
Kristen Rocco, Founder of Love "The transition from 'I' to 'we' can be a difficult one. Even as you're dating, you still mostly operate independently, but after you get married and settle into your new life together, the meaning of partnership becomes infinitely more important. Now your finances are tied, family vacations are done as a duo, and your last name becomes one. All of this equals a shift in identity. The more newlyweds can maintain open communication and compromise, they create healthy communication patterns and trust for each other that strengthen the bond." — Notery

Honeymoons sound like a magical time, a way to get to know each other even better, and relax after the crazy wedding planning.

3 Meaningful Ways To Capture Your Love Story On Your Wedding Day

One day about a year ago now, my mom (with the help of my aunt) sent me my grandparent's love story. It was a short article written in their local Coral Springs, Florida newspaper for Valentine's Day. I was surprised after reading it because I learned things about my grandparents love story I never knew. Their first date was a swan lake performance. And my grandpa proposed to my grandma after only two weeks! But she said no the first time.
