Bride uses Eminem’s “Love Yourself” in her wedding vows and people are loving it

When the bride and groom exchange their vows during a wedding, it is a special moment for them that they will remember for a lifetime. To make the moment even more special, many think about adding an unusual element to their vows. For example, one bride used the lyrics of Eminem’s song “Love Yourself” as part of her vows. All the wedding guests enjoyed the moment as the bride read the lyrics to her husband. The video of the wedding was posted on Instagram by videographers Jay and Mack Hovard.

The bride, Rizza-Belen Diaz – who goes by @goodgrlriri on Instagram – read her wedding vows to her partner. She began, “If you had a chance or an opportunity to capture everything you’ve ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it pass? It looks like you captured it. And here I am, my palms are sweaty, my knees are weak, my arms are heavy and I don’t have vomit on my dress but I love your mom’s spaghetti.” She continued, “I’m nervous, you’re nervous, but on the surface we look calm and ready. I’m trying really hard not to forget what I wrote down. But I think I did it, so I’m coming back to reality.”

Diaz then shared what she wanted to say to her husband Josh Dodson (@oohboyj). “All kidding aside, I’m glad you took your chance and didn’t waste it. I’m so lucky because a Josh Dodson only comes around once in a lifetime yo,” Diaz said. People at the wedding laughed while the bride read the vows. The video was captioned, “I didn’t realize Eminem’s lyrics made great vows.”

People in the comments loved the vows. @hoyaterp007 commented, “She’s a head turner. That’s an Oscar-worthy vow!” @highgrillz wrote, “These are the coolest vows ever. They’re probably laughing nonstop. I love that!” @yaniiibam shared, “That’s the best! Wow she did that so gracefully and lovingly.” @bdlkelso said, “I was about to say ‘marry her’ but he already does.” @max_wasker added, “And that, my friend, is how you know you married the right one. Raise the bar, girl.”

In another similar case, an autistic bride, Kirsten, made sure her vows came from the heart. She said, “Troy, everyone always told me I was dreaming. That my standards were too high and I had to settle at some point – but I didn’t listen to him. I knew you were out there.” She continued, “If you tried to take all of my favorite things and put them in a room, it wouldn’t even begin to express how much you mean to me.” She added that her partner filled in the missing blanks and “made a list of the things she didn’t even know were missing.”

Through tears, she said, “You are my everything. I am my best self because I know you. You balanced me. You believed in me when I couldn’t. You loved me. You showed me my worth and through that I will show you every day how valuable you are.” She confessed that she is not ashamed to say that she needs a man like him. She concluded, “For the first time in my life, my words came out exactly as they were meant. That was so special to me and the fact that it was caught on video makes it even more special. I was able to speak openly about my feelings that are often hard for me to put into words.”
