How to Share Your Love Story on Your Wedding Website

Every couple has a story. How you met. The first date. That moment you knew they were the one. The proposal. The family introductions. The journey that led to this wedding.

Your guests want to know this story. Not just the close friends who were there when you met, but the extended family members who are genuinely curious about how their nephew found his person, or how their colleague became someone’s fiancée.

Your wedding website gives you a beautiful place to tell this story.

Why Include an “Our Story” Page?

It connects guests to your celebration – A wedding isn’t just an event; it’s the celebration of a relationship. Sharing your story helps guests feel part of something meaningful.

It answers the question everyone asks – “How did you two meet?” Instead of telling the story a hundred times, share it once, beautifully.

It creates a keepsake – Long after the wedding, your website remains a digital memory of your journey. Some couples keep their sites up for years.

It sets the tone – A playful story sets up a fun celebration. A romantic tale sets the mood for something more intimate. Your story introduces your vibe.

What to Include in Your Love Story

Your story doesn’t need to be a novel. It doesn’t need to be perfectly written prose. It just needs to be yours. Here are some moments to consider including:

How You Met Was it at work? Through friends? At church? A dating app? Own it. Every love story has a beginning.

First Impressions What did you think of each other initially? These details are often funny—especially when first impressions were hilariously wrong.

The First Date Where did you go? What happened? Any awkward moments you can laugh about now?

When You Knew Was there a specific moment when you realized this was the person? Maybe it was how they handled a crisis. Maybe it was during a completely ordinary Tuesday.

Milestones Meeting the family. Moving in together. Surviving long distance. Traveling together. The small moments that built your relationship.

The Proposal How did it happen? Was it a complete surprise or did they suspect? Where were you? This is often guests’ favorite part to read.

How to Structure Your Story

You have two main options on Harusi Hub:

Option 1: Written Narrative Use text blocks to write your story in paragraphs, like a short essay. This works well if you’re comfortable with writing and want to include details and personality.

Option 2: Timeline Format Upload photos and the system creates a visual timeline of your relationship. Each photo becomes an entry with a date and description:

• 2019: “We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party. She spilled her drink on my shoes. I thought she was clumsy. She thought I was being dramatic.”
• 2020: “First date at a rooftop restaurant. He was 15 minutes late. She almost left.”
• 2021: “He met my parents. My dad grilled him for three hours about his five-year plan.”
• 2024: “He proposed at the same rooftop restaurant, at the same table. She said yes before he finished asking.”

Timeline format works great because it’s easy to read, visually interesting, and doesn’t require writing paragraphs. The system even reads dates from your photo metadata automatically—upload your photos and the timeline builds itself.

Add Photos to Your Story

Words and images together tell a richer story. Include photos from key moments:

• Photo from around the time you met
• A picture from early dating days
• Travel or milestone photos
• The proposal (if you have it)
• Engagement photos

Each timeline entry can have an accompanying image, and guests can click any photo to view it full-screen in a gallery.

Tips for Writing Your Love Story

Write together – One person shouldn’t tell the whole story. Share writing duties or at least get input from both perspectives. The different viewpoints often add humor.

Be yourselves – If you’re a funny couple, be funny. If you’re more romantic, be romantic. Don’t try to write in a voice that isn’t yours.

Keep it appropriate – Your grandmother will read this. Keep inside jokes that only make sense to you two, but save the really private details for yourselves.

It doesn’t have to be long – A few good paragraphs or 5-6 timeline entries is plenty. Quality over quantity.

Include the hard parts (if you want) – Did you break up and get back together? Did long distance test you? These struggles make the happy ending more meaningful.

Let Your Guests Into Your Journey

Your wedding day celebrates where you’re going. Your story shares where you’ve been. Together, they give guests the full picture of your relationship.

Take 30 minutes to upload some photos and add descriptions. Share it on your Our Story page. Your guests will love getting to know your journey—and you’ll have a beautiful record of it forever.
