Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Wedding Vows via Vow Muse

Continuing with our Celebrity Wedding Vow Series whereby we, the Muses, write up our best guess as to what we think these soon-to-be-wed celeb couples may say to each other at the altar, we now feature sweet Reese Witherspoon and her new beau Jim Toth in all their vowing glory!

Jim and Reese from gossip.whyfame.com
Jim to Reese

Reese, I'm the luckiest man in the world. I know it's beyond cliche to say that, but hear me out: I'm marrying not just a beautiful woman, but a beautiful family that moves like the inner workings of a clock: intricately, delicately, sometimes breaking down but always picking up the solid ticking again. I love you, I love your children, and I want the best for all of us. I think this is worth mentioning: you are incredible. I've seen you dazzle a room full of strangers in a foreign country who have no idea who you are, but they're drawn to your warmth and smile; your words always bringing more and more people to talk. I've see you gracefully slip out of bafflingly complicated situations. And yes, you're one hell of an actress, too. Daring, bold, gorgeous. Let's stay up late talking about politics, get up early and make oatmeal for the kids, and shower each other with friendship, support, and most of all love.

Reese to Jim

It's peculiar how life works, isn't it? More curious still is how love works. Jim, we've both done a lot of living in our lives, achieved quite a bit, and experienced even more. I never would have been ready for you if we met sooner, so I'm glad we met later. You defy every expectation I have for a companion and partner—you don't cater to me, but you don't try to keep me in a tiny box, either. We balance each other like a perfectly matched yin and yang, and I look forward to building off of this balance even in unbalanced times. With my feet firmly on this Earth, and my heart circling the universe and back, I say sincerely on this day: I love you.

Invitations by Vow Muse!

Amy Lateur from The Ranch at Little Hills is organizing a wedding fair in April, and Vow Muse is on the vendor list!! A few weeks ago Amy came to us with a proposition: she needed invitations for the event, and she needed them soon. Though we primarily tend to contribute the written embellishments to such things, we were certainly up to the challenge of flexing our creative muscles and pumping out some top notch, classy invites for this wonderful event.

The full package!
Guidelines: The event is a Springtime event, the color theme is purple, and Amy prefers to go "classy" as opposed to "cute". With these parameters in mind, we set off to our beloved Paper Source for the perfect ingredients.


Once home with the paper and supplies, we had our way with the text. The blurb that Amy provided read:

"Our annual bridal faire is a way for you to experience The Ranch at Little Hills in full swing. We will exhibit our food and beverage menu to help make your menu decisions easier. Our preferred vendors will be there to assist you with any additional planning needs. We hope to see you there!"

And with Amy's permission, we snazzed it up to read: 

 "Come experience The Ranch at Little Hills in full swing! Join us for sumptuous samples of our food and beverages to help you navigate the menu choices for your special day. Our preferred vendors will be there with bells on to answer questions and assist you with all your planning needs."

And with that (and meticulous review of font choices), we created the invitations you see here! We sincerely hope that Amy and the couples receiving the invitations enjoyed them and we look forward to participating in the wedding faire in April!


P.S. If you have an invitation project that you think we'd be perfect for, contact us for a quote!

Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh "Wedding Vows" a la Vow Muse!

Kelsey Grammer's sudden divorce and re-engagement might be scandalicous news in Hollywood, but that isn't stopping him from getting his marriagepants on at the end of the month. KG will be standing at the alter with Kayte Walsh, a dazzling woman he met while flying across the Atlantic Ocean. She was his stewardess, he was undoubtedly charmingly Kelsey Grammer...and the rest is history. Of course, not so silent history, since Kelsey's ex, Camille, certainly seems to have a lot to say about it. But we digress. In true Vow Muse style, we're looking on the bright side of this story, and offering our well wishes to the new couple in the form of personalized wedding vows!
Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh - what's not to love?

From Kayte to Kelsey

Oh Mr. Grammer, how lovely to run into you here today. I think those were the first words I spoke to you, and I instantly regretted sounding like such a starstruck lass. Well, I no longer regret my starry-eyes because here you are, standing in front of me, a person. Not just any person, but the man for me. It took but one plane-ride where I watched you be yourself to know I wanted a man like you, and it took but one date after that plane ride to know I wanted that man to be you. Kelsey, our love began soaring from the get go, and I intend to keep it going that way through sickness, health, thick, thin, and forever.


From Kelsey to Kayte


You know, when they told me I'd be flying the friendly skies, I never imagined they'd be Kayte-style friendly. Ugh, that was bad. Sorry sweetie. See what you just signed up for? For every great joke I make, I make about ten hundred bad ones. And you get to hear every single one. Because baby—er, Kayte—I'm all in with you. That means not only are we going to have an amazing time together, we'll also have some downright cruddy times, and probably a lot of lazy-day mediocre times, too. Being all in means I plan to share my life, the ins and outs, the good and the bad, the funny and the truly unfunny. I know you'll make me a better man every single day with your kindness, your assertiveness, and your wit. And yes, your really scrumptious figure doesn't hurt, either. I love you, Kayte. I do.
