Questions to ask your partner can open conversations you have not had in years. Life gets busy, and it is easy to talk about plans and logistics rather than about each other.
I'm Leon, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. Before I write a Love Letter, a ceremony or the vows for a renewal, I ask couples about their story, so here are the kinds of prompts that bring the best answers.
Prompts About Your Past
Your first impression: what you noticed about each other when you met.
A favourite day: one you would happily live again.
A turning point: the moment you knew this was serious.
A hard chapter: something you came through together.
A small habit: the everyday thing your partner does that you love.
Prompts About Now
Ask what makes your partner feel most loved at the moment, what they would like more of, and what they are proud of in your life together. Listen without rushing to answer for them.
Prompts About the Future
Talk about places you want to see, traditions you would like to start and how you picture an ordinary Sunday in ten years.
Make Space for It
These conversations land best somewhere calm. A walk along the coast at Rhos-on-Sea or a quiet evening at home works far better than a busy restaurant.
Where Your Answers Can Go
The answers you share become the heart of a guided proposal Love Letter, an elopement ceremony or a summer vow renewal. How to tell your love story shows how stories become words.
Anywhere Your Story Goes
You can choose anywhere for your experiences: your home or garden, elsewhere in the UK, or abroad.
A good conversation can remind you why you chose each other in the first place. Explore my storytelling experiences, then plan your experience and bring your answers with you.
