The seating plan that doubted us was wrong

Nathan, sitting here with you reminds me of that dinner when a mutual friend decided to sit us side by side, convinced we wouldn’t get along. Funny how life begins with a little doubt but grows into something so certain and strong. I love that we found our own rhythm, like those late nights dancing in the kitchen at two in the morning to a song no one else seems to like but us. I see how you keep your promises, even the small ones that might seem insignificant to anyone else, and it shows me your integrity and heart. The way you hum softly while you cook, completely unaware, is just one of the many little things I cherish about you. You bring calm and joy to ordinary moments, and that means everything to me. Today, in front of God and all those we love, I promise to be your partner in all things. I will trust you deeply and faithfully, knowing that trust is the foundation for everything we build together. I will lean on our shared faith to guide me when the path gets unclear and remind us that love is patient, kind, and enduring. I promise to make you laugh, even when I’m trying my hardest to stay mad. Because if there is one thing we both know, it’s that joy and grace keep us grounded and growing. I will support you, listen to you, and walk beside you every day, as an equal, a friend, and your greatest fan. Thank you for being the person who hums in the kitchen, who keeps promises, and who dances with me through the quiet, ordinary moments. I am so grateful to call you my husband. With all my heart, I commit to loving you through every season, in faith and in trust, for all the days we are given.

Locked out that night, but never locked out again

Adam, right now, standing here with you, I want to promise you something simple, but everything to me. I promise to listen, to really listen, all the way to the end before I try to fix anything. I know that life will bring moments that challenge us, moments when silence might feel louder than words, and I want to meet each of those moments with patience and care. I remember that night we were both locked out, neighbors brought together by chance, not knowing how much our lives would change in that small moment. But even more, I treasure an ordinary evening when I looked over at you and just knew. I knew, truly and deeply, that it was you. That certainty has been a light for me ever since. You have this way of making the hard days feel smaller just by walking in the door. You understand when to give me space and when I need you closer, and that grace you show means everything. I see in you a partner who walks in faith, with trust in something greater guiding us, and I promise to build on that foundation with you. I vow to keep our trust sacred, to hold your heart with the care it deserves, and to walk beside you in every season life brings. I choose you, not only for the joyful days but for the days when faith will carry us through together. I will stand with you, pray with you, and love you with all that I am. Today, in front of God, our family, and friends, I give you my heart fully, knowing that this partnership is the greatest gift we share. I love you deeply and I am so grateful to call you my husband.

Two missed trains, one unbreakable cord of three

Samuel, standing here with you, I’m reminded of that day we met, waiting for the same delayed train. We talked so long we missed the next one, and honestly, that moment feels like a beautiful sign of everything to come. You have a way of making the ordinary feel extraordinary, even when life doesn’t go exactly as planned. I love how you laugh at your own jokes before you finish them, and how you somehow remember every friend’s coffee order, like it’s a secret language only you speak. You bring joy and warmth to even the simplest parts of my day. And when I was sick that week, you never once made me feel like a burden. Instead, you showed me what true partnership means: kindness, patience, and unwavering support. As we stand here, joined by faith and hope, I promise to keep choosing you, not just on the big, picture-perfect days but on the ordinary Tuesdays, the sleepy mornings, and the messy moments. I promise to build a life with you rooted in trust and faith, recognizing that we are stronger together. “Two are better than one, and a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) Samuel, with God at the center of our marriage, I believe this cord we weave together will hold us through whatever life brings. I vow to laugh with you, to stand by you, and to love you as we grow together in faith and partnership. You are my best friend, my favorite person, my home. Thank you for being the person I get to share this adventure with, every day, in all the ways big and small.

Elbow-deep in love before the jokes even land

Marcus, I promise to stand beside you with hands ready to build, just like the day we met, elbow-deep in a project neither of us knew how to do. In those moments of uncertainty, I found a steady heart, a partner willing to learn and grow alongside me. I love how you check on me before you check your phone, how your laughter arrives early, filling the space even before your jokes are finished. You bring light into the ordinary, turning moments like that road trip where the car broke down into memories full of joy, even in the struggle. Today, I vow to build with you a home where you always feel safe to be exactly who you are, a sanctuary crafted with trust and faith. I promise to walk with you in unwavering partnership, to lift you up when the path is unclear, and to celebrate with you when the sun breaks through the clouds. With faith as our foundation, I pledge to nurture a love that honors both our strengths and our vulnerabilities. I believe deeply in the gifts of patience and kindness, and in the sacred bond that ties two souls together. I carry in my heart the truth that "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Colossians 3:14) This love will be the thread weaving through every day we share. Marcus, I choose you, not just for this moment but for all the moments that will come. I promise to listen, to forgive, and to cherish you, trusting in the grace that guides us. Together, we will face whatever comes with courage and joy, as partners in life and faith, hand in hand, heart to heart. Today, I give you all of me, and I will spend my life showing you the depths of love God has planted within us both.

He remembers your coffee order, I defend his playlists

Ethan, I promise to cherish the way you remember every friend’s coffee order, small details that show your kindness and attention to those around you. I vow to steady you, just as you steady me when I start to spiral, knowing that together, even our hardest moments become bearable. I will protect your quiet mornings, guarding that peaceful space where you find rest and renewal. I will defend your terrible playlists, because they are part of what makes you who you are, and I love every note, even the offbeat ones. I think back to that quiet Sunday we spent doing absolutely nothing. It wasn’t marked by grand plans or big adventures, yet it became the best day of the year. That stillness, that presence with each other, is what I hope for all our days. May we always find joy in the simple moments together. As we step into this life side by side, I promise to build our partnership on trust and faith. I want to be your confidant, your support, your partner in all things, near and far, in joy and in challenge. I will love you with a heart grounded in faith, knowing God is at the center of our union. "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:7) In this, I find my guide for how I will love you, today and all the days to come. I give myself to you completely, ready to walk this journey hand in hand, with patience and grace, and a love that grows stronger each day.

Courage found you first, then found her too

Daniel, as I stand here before God, our family, and friends, I want to begin with a simple truth I have come to cherish deeply: love is patient and kind. It is not just a feeling, but a daily choice we make to walk together in faith. I remember how we sat side by side in class, quietly learning, until one day courage found you, and then me. It was a small beginning that has led us here, a testament to the power of waiting and trusting God’s timing. I cherish the memory of you meeting my family, bringing light and laughter into our home so effortlessly. It showed me how you bring joy and warmth wherever you go. I love the way you hum softly without even knowing it while you cook. It’s a simple act, but it reveals your spirit, steady, gentle, and full of grace. On the hard days, when life feels heavy, you enter the room, and somehow all the weight lifts. You have been my refuge, my peace, and my constant. Today, before the Lord, I promise to grow alongside you. I will not let fear or pride pull us apart but will seek to build trust with honesty and openness. I vow to lean on our faith, nurturing a partnership rooted in God’s love, knowing that with Him, all things are possible. I promise to support you in your dreams, to pray with you, and to stand with you in every season, whether in joy or in sorrow. Together, we will build a home where forgiveness flows freely, where patience is abundant, and where love never fails. I give you my heart to keep, my hands to hold, and my soul to cherish, trusting that through God’s grace, our love will flourish every day. This is my solemn vow to you, my beloved Daniel, now and forever.

Two missed trains, one lifetime chosen daily

Leo, I remember that morning waiting for the train that never came, how we talked until we missed the next one. That moment feels like the start of something steady and real. You have been my calm in the chaos, the one who holds space for me without judgment, especially that week I was sick and you never once made me feel like a burden. You steady me when I spiral, and you never hold it against me. Today, in front of those we love and God, I promise to keep choosing you every day, especially on the ordinary Tuesdays when there’s no celebration, just the quiet rhythm of life. I vow to build our trust and nurture our faith together, leaning on each other as partners in every sense. I want to be your safe place, your encourager, and your home. I will love you with patience, kindness, and honesty, even when life is messy. I will seek to see you as God sees you and love you as He loves us. I promise to walk this journey with you, trusting in His guidance and grace for us. In everything, I remember His command to us to "Love one another as I have loved you." (John 15:12) That love calls me to you freely and fully. Leo, I am yours, now and always, committed to this beautiful, imperfect adventure of life and faith together.

Two strangers hiding from small talk, forever after

I remember that day so clearly, not just because it was a friend’s wedding, but because there we were, both hiding from the small talk at the same table, and somehow that moment felt like the start of everything. I love how you always check on me before you check your phone, how even in the smallest ways you show that you see me fully, that I matter most to you. Our faith has been a quiet but steady guide, teaching us about grace and trust, about leaning on each other and on God when life gets hard. I think about that day when everything went wrong, and instead of it breaking us, you turned it into a story we still laugh about, reminding me that with you, even the worst days have light. Today, in front of our family, our friends, and before God, I promise to always be your partner in every sense, strong in trust, humble in faith, and endless in love. I vow to keep reaching for your hand, not just now but when we are old and slow and the world feels quieter. I will stay by your side in joy and sorrow, in easy days and hard ones. “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.” (Song of Solomon 8:7) This is the love I promise you. A love that endures, that holds firm, a love that will never let go. I give you my heart, my faith, and my life, now and forever.

Two streets apart, one dinner, no questions asked

Nathan, standing here with you today, I can’t help but laugh at how we grew up just two streets apart and only found each other years later. It feels like God was quietly working behind the scenes, waiting for the perfect moment to bring us together. I remember that night when my plans fell apart, and you showed up with dinner and no questions. That simple act wasn’t just about the food, it was a reminder that you see me, you understand me, and you're there even when things don’t go as planned. I love how you keep your promises, even the tiny ones I sometimes overlook. That consistency, that faithfulness, tells me that your heart is grounded in something real and true. It gives me the confidence to trust you fully and to know that we can face anything together. So today, in front of God, and all those we love, I promise to be the one who reaches out first after a disagreement. When we stumble or don’t see eye to eye, I will remember that partnership means hands held tighter, not letting go. I will nurture the trust we have built and lean on my faith in us and in God’s plan for our life together. Nathan, I vow to be your teammate, your biggest cheerleader, and yes, even your occasional second-in-command on those days when life gets a little wild. I will laugh with you, pray with you, and love you with all my heart, every single day.

Locked out once, then found the last bite forever

Noah, tonight as we stand here, I remember that ordinary evening when, by chance, we both found ourselves locked out. It was in that unexpected moment that our story began, quietly unfolding like a whispered prayer. I looked over at you and felt a certainty so deep, so beautiful, that it took my breath away. In you, I saw more than a neighbor or a friend. I saw a partner for life, a soul made to walk with mine. I love the small things about you, how you always leave me the last bite, as if to say in the simplest way, I care for you deeply. It is in those gestures that your heart speaks, and I promise to cherish every one. Today, I stand before God and you to vow my faithfulness, my trust, and my love.

The coffee that never got cold, and neither did we

James, I still remember that evening when we met for coffee, and neither of us wanted to leave, the world quiet around us as time slipped away. It’s in those simple moments that I found the depth of my love for you. The Sunday we spent doing absolutely nothing remains the best day of that year, a beautiful reminder that being together is enough, no matter what we are doing.

Locked out that night, never locked out again

I will hold your hand through laughter and tears, through unexpected breakdowns and endless road trips. When the car of life stalls, I promise to laugh with you until it runs again. I will trust you with my heart, faithfully and without hesitation. Together, we will build a future shaped by faith, hope, and partnership, a journey where your dreams are mine, and mine are yours.

Long after the last cup, still choosing her

Hannah, today I stand here grateful and full of joy, ready to promise my life to you. I still remember the way we stayed in that café long after the last cup was finished, simply because being with you felt like the most natural thing in the world.

A quiet classroom, a humming kitchen, a covenant of grace

Sofia, today I stand before God, our family, and friends, filled with gratitude and awe for the gift of you. I remember all those days we shared a quiet classroom, sitting near each other, each waiting for the courage to speak. It was in that stillness that God was quietly preparing the way for us. And I thank Him every day that He did. I still smile when I think about the first time you met my family, how you brought laughter into that room in just moments. That moment showed me how deeply you connect with others, how your joy spills over and becomes a blessing to those around you. It is one of the many ways you reflect God’s love and light to the people in your life. I love the way you hum softly without even realizing it while you cook, bringing a peace into the house that speaks of a heart at rest in Him.

Two missed trains, one lifelong destination

Chloe, standing here with you today, I remember that day we met waiting for the same delayed train. We talked so long that we both missed the next one. It was easy in that moment, like the world slowed down just for us. I feel that same calm with you now. When I was sick that week, you never once made me feel like a burden. You cared for me with such kindness and strength. It’s in those small, hard moments that I saw the depth of your love, and I want to be that person for you too. You steady me when I spiral, and you never hold it against me. That kind of grace is rare, and I thank God every day for you. You are my partner in faith and in life. I promise to always trust you, to lean on our shared faith, and to build our life on that solid foundation. I vow to keep choosing you on the ordinary Tuesdays, not just the big days. I want to celebrate every moment with you, all the mundane and the extraordinary, because it’s in those moments that our love grows strongest. "Set me as a seal upon your heart," those words from Song of Solomon remind me of the bond I want to hold with you, a bond marked by devotion and faithfulness. Chloe, I promise to walk beside you with honesty, patience, and love until God calls us home. You are my heart, my home, and my greatest blessing.

Two strangers hid from a wedding and found their own

I remember that day we met, both of us slipping away from the noise and small talk to find a quiet corner at a friend’s wedding. Who would have thought that moment of shared escape would lead us here? Maya, you have a way of checking in with me first, before anything else, reminding me every day of how loved and seen I am. That simple gesture has shown me the depth of your heart. I think about the day everything went wrong, and yet you turned it into a story we still laugh about. That moment taught me how strong we are together, that no matter what life throws at us, we can find joy and faith side by side. It’s in those times I felt our partnership most deeply, grounded in trust and hope. Today I promise to keep reaching for your hand, no matter how old or slow we get. I vow to walk with you in faith, to build a home where trust is our foundation and love is our guide. I want to be the person you turn to in every season, the one who stands beside you through calm and storm. I believe what 1 John reminds us: "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." We will carry that love with us every day, growing in it and through it together. With all my heart, I choose you, Maya, as my wife, my partner, my closest friend, now and forever.

Two streets away all along, dinner in hand

Naomi, standing here with you feels like coming home, even though we only found each other after years of living just two streets apart. It’s funny how life works, isn’t it? Like that night when all my plans fell apart and you showed up at my door with dinner, no questions asked. That’s when I realized I wanted to spend forever with the person who sees me even when I’m messy, who keeps promises, even the tiny ones that most people might forget. I promise to be that person for you, the one who reaches out first after a fight, the one who chooses trust when it’s easier to doubt, and the one who never stops building this partnership we share. Together, through faith and hope, we’ll face whatever comes next, holding each other steady. I vow to honor the sacred commitment we make today, to be your partner in every joy, every challenge, and every ordinary moment in between.

Locked out once, never locking hearts again

Grace, tonight I stand before you, holding your hand, feeling the quiet strength of this moment between us. I remember that night we were both locked out, strangers only by proximity, and in that unexpected pause, a new story began. It’s in the ordinary evenings now, when the world slows down, that I see you truly, when I looked over and knew, beyond any shadow of doubt, it was you. You have a way of showing love in the smallest acts, leaving me the last bite every single time, and in that gentle kindness, I find a reflection of the grace we both seek every day. Today, I promise to listen to you fully, to hear your heart’s truth all the way through before I try to fix anything.

The setup that failed and the marriage that didn't

Sofia, when I think about the night we first met, I see us sitting side by side at that dinner, a setup made by a friend who was sure we wouldn’t get along. It’s funny how God uses the most unexpected moments to bring the greatest blessings into our lives. That night wasn’t just a meeting; it was the start of everything I never saw coming but now can’t imagine living without. One of my favorite memories with you is dancing in the kitchen at two in the morning, to a song only we seem to love. In those quiet, simple moments, I see the joy and light you bring into my life every day. It’s in those spontaneous, imperfect times that I understand what partnership really means. I love the way you hum without even realizing it when you cook. It’s these little things that remind me how deeply intertwined our lives have become. Your presence fills our home with warmth and love, and I am grateful to walk this path with you. Today, in front of God and our loved ones, I promise to build our life on trust and faith. I promise to be your partner in every way, to face challenges with you, and to celebrate all the joys life brings.

The café closed, but this vow didn't

Emma, when I think about that first coffee, how we stayed talking until the café closed around us, I feel like that moment quietly marked the beginning of everything beautiful between us. There’s something sacred to me about those simple, unhurried beginnings, just like the quiet Sunday we spent doing absolutely nothing, which still stands as the best day of that year. It reminds me how love flourishes not in grand gestures, but in the peaceful presence we offer each other. I love how you always text me the moment you get home safe. It’s a small act that speaks volumes about your care and thoughtfulness, and it teaches me every day what it means to truly cherish another person.

Locked out that night, and locked in forever

Robin, when I think about that night we were both locked out, I smile because it was the evening our ordinary lives quietly shifted into something extraordinary. It wasn’t fireworks or grand gestures, but a simple moment that brought us together, two neighbors who found each other in an unexpected way. I remember one evening, just like any other, when I looked over at you and in that instant, without a doubt, I knew it was you. Not just the person standing there, but the one who would walk beside me through every joy and challenge. That moment, quiet and simple, is where my heart found its home. You have this incredible way of making the hard days feel smaller. When you walk into a room, somehow the weight lifts, and I feel like I can breathe again.

Burnt coffee, missed trains, and a love worth choosing

I promise to keep choosing you, not just on the days when everything feels magical, but especially on those ordinary Tuesdays when the coffee burns the tongue and the only excitement is who forgot to take the trash out. I love that you laugh at your own jokes before you even finish them, and that you remember every friend’s coffee order like it’s a secret worth keeping. I promise to value those little things, because they show me the depth of your heart. When I think about the week I was sick, and how you never once made me feel like a burden, I see the purest picture of what partnership means.

With God’s grace, I promise to love you fiercely and tenderly, to listen with an open heart, and to walk beside you wherever life leads us.

Elbow-deep in mess, laughing till the engine roars

Morgan, when I think of us elbow-deep in that project neither of us knew how to do, I see more than just the mess and the work. I see two hands reaching out, learning, failing, and finding our way together. That moment captured so much of what I cherish about us, the courage to dive in, the patience when things get tangled, and the joy in every unexpected turn. I remember that road trip, the car breaking down in the middle of nowhere, and how we just laughed together until the engine roared to life again. It was a simple moment, but it felt like a promise: whatever stalls or challenges come, we’ll meet them with laughter and with each other. Morgan, I love how you check on me before you check your phone, how your laughter dances ahead of your words, making even your own jokes a little brighter. It’s in those little folds of everyday life that I find grace, faith, and the beauty of knowing you truly see me. You are the home my heart has sought. I vow to build with you a place where you always feel safe to be exactly who you are. A home not just of walls but one firm in trust and rich in faith. Where every hope is welcomed, every fear met with compassion, and every joy celebrated without reservation. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

I promise to walk beside you as partner, friend, and faithful companion through all of life’s seasons. To listen deeply, to support your dreams, and to hold your hand through every uncertainty or triumph. Today, before God, our family, and friends, I give you my heart and my life.

It wasn’t just the food that comforted me, but the way you quietly made everything feel okay again. You have this incredible way of making the hard days smaller just by walking in the room. Today, I want to promise you that I will always be the one who reaches out first after a fight, because I know that our trust and faith in each other are more important than any moment of disagreement. I vow to walk with you as partners, grounded in faith, supporting each other through every joy and every challenge. I promise to keep building a life where we lift each other up, and where love is our constant guide. With God as our foundation, I will be faithful, loving, and present, choosing you every day. I am so grateful to stand here with you, ready for all that is to come.

The vow that found laughter on the roadside

Quinn, I want to start by promising I won’t let our car break down without me laughing right alongside you again. That day on the road showed me how much joy we can find even when things don’t go as planned. You steady me when I spiral, never holding it against me, and for that I am endlessly grateful. I vow to build a home with you where you always feel safe to be exactly who you are, without fear or hesitation. Today, before God and everyone here, I promise to trust you with my heart and to keep faith in us, no matter what storms we face. “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” (Colossians 3:14) I pledge to carry that love with me every day, faithful, joyful, and true. Quinn, I choose you to be my partner in this adventure of life and faith, forever.

The vow that remembers every coffee order and calls it holy

There was a day when everything seemed to go wrong, yet you turned it into a story we still tell, a story of grace and laughter, a reminder that with you, even the hardest moments become blessings. I love how you remember every friend's coffee order, a simple sign of the care and attention you give to the people around you, and to me. Today, before God and all those we cherish, I promise to keep reaching for your hand through every season, even when we are old and slow. I vow to nurture the trust between us, to grow our faith together, and to carry our partnership with humility and joy. We are learning each day what it means to be one, for "they are no longer two, but one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) With you, I find a home, a sacred gift, and a love that mirrors the divine. I commit my heart to you, ready to walk beside you all the days God gives us, in hope, in faith, and in endless love.

Home safe texts, and a cord of three strands

Taylor, I want to start by thanking you for a quiet, ordinary moment that means the world to me, the week I was sick, and you never once made me feel like a burden. That care, that love, showed me what partnership really is. I love how you always text me the second you get home safe, as if by sharing that simple truth, we stay connected even when we are apart. Today, in front of everyone here, and before God, I promise to keep choosing you, not just on the big days, but on every ordinary Tuesday too. I vow to build our life on trust and faith, knowing that together we are never alone. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, "Two are better than one, and a cord of three strands is not quickly broken." I want us firmly woven together with God at the center. I promise to walk beside you in joy and sorrow, to listen with patience, and to love you with all my heart. I give you my hand, my heart, and my life, confident that God’s love will guide us on this beautiful journey together.

Two a.m. kitchen dancing, now made permanent

Jordan, tonight as we stand before God and those we love, I see more than just the person I am marrying. I see my partner, my strongest ally, the one who understands my soul in ways words cannot. I remember dancing with you in the kitchen at two in the morning, that song only we think is good filling the quiet space around us. In that moment, I felt a deep joy that I promise to nurture in all the days to come. You always know when I need silence and when I need your embrace, and that gift of understanding is something I cherish every day. I vow to build our life on trust, to hold our faith close and let it guide us through each challenge and blessing. I promise to make you laugh, even when I’m trying my hardest to stay mad because your happiness means everything to me. With God as our witness, I commit my heart and my hands to you. Together, we will walk in partnership, growing in love, hope, and faith for all the days of our lives.

Tips for catholic vows

Before you write
  • Know the two traditional forms. The Church offers a declaration of consent ("I do") and the classic vow ("I take you... to have and to hold"); decide which you'll say, then personalize around it if your parish allows.
  • The sacrament is the heart. Honor "for better, for worse, in sickness and in health" as a real promise, not just a recited line, and let your delivery carry what it means to you.
  • Ask your priest first. Catholic vows are spoken within the Rite of Marriage and usually follow an approved form; many parishes welcome a personal reflection elsewhere in the Mass.
  • Let faith be specific. A line about the sacrament, God's grace, or building a domestic church roots your vows in the tradition rather than sounding generically religious.

Questions

Common questions

What are the traditional Catholic wedding vows?

The Church provides two approved forms. The vow: "I, [name], take you, [name], to be my husband/wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love you and to honor you all the days of my life." Or the declaration of consent, where the priest asks and you answer "I do." Both are valid and widely used.

Can you personalize Catholic wedding vows?

The vows themselves are part of the sacramental rite and generally must follow one of the Church's approved forms, so they're usually not rewritten. But many couples add personal touches elsewhere, in the readings, a reflection, or the music, and some parishes allow more flexibility, so always ask your priest.

What's the difference between the vow and the declaration of consent?

The declaration of consent is the priest asking whether you've come freely, will love and honor each other, and will accept children lovingly, to which you answer "I will" or "I do." The vow is the promise you speak directly to each other. Most Catholic ceremonies include both.

Are Catholic wedding vows said during Mass?

Usually, yes. Catholic weddings are typically celebrated within a Nuptial Mass, and the exchange of vows comes after the homily, at the heart of the Rite of Marriage. A wedding outside Mass (a Liturgy of the Word) is also possible, often for interfaith couples.

How can I make traditional Catholic vows feel personal?

Since the words are set, the meaning is where you make them yours: mean every clause, especially the "for worse" and "in sickness" lines, and let your delivery carry the weight. You can also choose readings, music, and a personal reflection that speak to your story. Browse the examples above for inspiration.
