💕 Are you engaged to get married? Congratulations! 💕
Let's come together as a community to get started on a very important to-do list item: writing your vows.

Join us for a low-pressure writing night for people with a very high ­pressure blank page. We will work through the stages of writing wedding vows as well as go into the history of this practice and give participants an opportunity to receive feedback.

No one has to share. No one has to be poetic. The goal is to leave with material, structure, and a much less terrifying blank page. Whether your wedding is in a week or a year, it's not too early or late to get started!

ℹ Registration is strongly recommended. Call 336-373-2957 to reserve your spot or get more information.

- Accounts made before 2021 might have the last four digits of the phone number as the PIN.
- If you don’t know your PIN, library staff can reset it for you.
