How My Wedding Was My Best Copywriting Project Yet

When it comes to weddings, we all have our preconceived notions—lavish venues, dreamy dresses, and fairy-tale endings. But what happens when a copywriter and a music lover tie the knot? 

You get a celebration that not only defies conventions but also turns into a delightful blend of storytelling and musicality. Trust me, it’s a matrimony Broadway would envy. 

This isn’t just another wedding tale; it’s a testament to how when you love what you do, it leaks into all aspects of your life.

The Challenge: One Wedding, Three Languages, Zero Problems

I tied the knot with Alex (hello, lásko 👋), my Spanish better half, in a picturesque setting in Portugal. 

With a Czech bride, a Spanish groom, and guests who could populate a mini U.N. summit, the challenge was to make everyone feel connected—language, culture, all of it. 

That’s where my flair for storytelling and copywriting kicked in.

Act 1: A Wedding Website Unlike Any Other

I could’ve opted for a straightforward wedding website—RSVP, venue details, yawn—but where’s the fun in that? 

Instead, I decided to turn it into a playground, a meeting point, and a snapshot of who we are as a couple. A place where our guests could not only get the info they needed but also engage and get excited about the celebrations.

Here’s What I Did: The Wedding Guest Medallions

Remember those “fun facts” we often see on LinkedIn profiles? I took that concept and dialed it up to 11. 

I rolled out a short survey for our guests, inviting them to share personal quirks and even place bets on how they thought various wedding events would unfold.

But these weren’t mere trivia bits; I turned them into ‘Wedding Guest Medallions.’ Think of them as short storytelling pieces, capturing the essence of each guest, which were then translated into Czech and Spanish, because inclusivity, my friends.

The result? A pre-wedding buzz you can’t put a price tag on, complete with laughs, connections, and a sprinkle of friendly wagering.

Act 2: Our Wedding, the Musical

Here’s where things took an enchanting detour. We didn’t just say our vows; we sang them. 

Yep, you read that right. We turned our wedding into a musical. From the vows to the toasts, the dance floor to the after-party, we sang our way through the most magical day of our lives.

But this was more than a fun twist. It was a heartfelt spectacle that resonated deeply with everyone present. 

Here’s the cherry on top: I sang in Spanish, and Alex in Czech, each of us paying homage to our respective heritages. Neither of us is fluent in the other’s native language, so this was a meaningful gesture—a way to bridge two cultures and connect with each other’s families. 

Even if you didn’t understand the words, the music itself carried the emotion and meaning, making the experience universally touching.

The real challenge was letting go of our inhibitions and daring to be different. But when your spouse-to-be is also your partner-in-crime, bending the rules feels less like a dare and more like coming home.
