« The Vow »
Prepare your commitment, not just your wedding day.
Your wedding is so much more than one day: it’s a commitment between two people.
The Vow is a wedding-preparation journey: 3 sessions to deepen your commitment, enhance your communication, and understand each other better — even amid the whirlwind of planning.
When wedding planning takes over your relationship
You knew planning your wedding would take time —but you didn’t expect it to require so much energy.
Between vendors, quotes, invitations, outfits, the seating chart… your evenings look more like project meetings than moments together.
You find yourselves planning, managing, checking countless boxes. Sometimes, you simply forget to breathe — together.
One partner holds most of the mental load; the other doesn’t always know how to help.
Conversations center on logistics for your big day, leaving little space for your actual relationship.
And even though it all started from a place of joy, you sometimes forget why you began this whole process.
Your wedding is more than an event. It’s a commitment.
Planning isn’t the real issue
Your challenge isn’t in the planning — it’s how you envision your life together after the wedding.
When you clarify together why this marriage matters — for you individually and as a couple — what values you share, what your priorities are, and how you picture the future — the event falls into place, the big-day stress fades, and above all, your connection and bond grow stronger.
Picture life after your wedding
The wedding day flashes by. But what you’ve built—and reinforced—during your preparation stays.
Smoother communication, renewed trust, a deeper understanding of yourself and your partnership. Solid foundations that make the good days even better… and the difficult ones gentler.
With these three sessions, you’ll walk away with clear markers, tangible tools, and a precious certainty: you know how to reconnect when life ramps up, adjust together, and keep growing your “yes” over time.
On prépare le jour J. Rarement ce qu’il y a après
Many believe love alone will do.
That “it’ll all work out in time.”
That wedding prep is about the seating chart — not the partnership.
But once the “I dos” are said, daily life takes over fast. Misunderstandings sneak in. Tensions build. The connection thins out.
Not because there’s less love — but because you never actually prepared for the “after.”
I’m Anne Roussel, Relationship Coach
I’m a certified coach from Erickson Coaching International and an ACC-accredited member by the‘International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am bilingue français / anglais, and I specialize in relationship coaching.
I’ve been a witness at 10 weddings and supported many more couples — as a friend and a coach. Each time, I observed the same thing: planning a wedding is a full-blown team project. It needs rigor, coordination, patience — far beyond simple expressions of love. Amid vendors, decisions and to-do lists, it’s easy to forget the essential: why you’re getting married.
I also noticed that, unlike couples who choose religious preparation, many couples who choose a secular wedding don’t havethe space to explore the big questions: :
👉🏼 What doescommittingmean for each of you?
👉🏼 How do you keep the connection alive in the good times and the hard ones?
👉🏼 How do you navigate disagreements or unclear moments?
That’s why I created The Vow: a three-session preparation for your commitment — to give you some space to step back and think about your commitment.
A concrete, warm, dynamic space where you talk about your couple — not just the ceremony.
You’ll walk away with awareness, tools and strengthened connection so you can move forward together, day after day.

They have trusted me
When we got engaged, we knew we’d do prep—and put it in our budget and plans from the start.
We looked at several programs and most felt too impersonal. Just us in front of a screen, no one really talking with us. We didn’t see ourselves in a group format. Then we found Anne’s Insta, loved her vibe, so we booked the discovery session.
We weren’t sure what to expect, but from the first session we knew we had made the right choice. It wasn’t a ‘wedding prep’ like we’d thought: no sweeping lessons on life together, just concrete, deep, kind conversations.
We talked about our future, our families, how we deal with stress, how we love and support each other. There were some light moments and some heavier ones and questions we had never asked ourselves before. And Anne always dealt with it in a way that was both gentle and judgement-free.
Honestly, we highly recommend it, not just to plan your wedding, but to give your relationship the chance to last.
We did our wedding prep… after we got married. We didn’t even know it was an option for a secular ceremony, so we didn’t really look for it at first.
After the wedding, we felt a void that unsettled us… The 3-4 months before the wedding were all about planning, and once the stress dropped, we found ourselves somewhat disconnected.
We jumped into the prep thinking “why not”, and we’re so grateful we did! It helped us refocus, remember why we decided to get married and reconnect.
We tackled important, even essential, topics for our life together, sometimes ones we wouldn’t have faced alone. We did it in a safe, supportive space. And we loved the format: 3 sessions, just right. We didn’t have time to get bored. It was great! It gave us keys to communicate better. Thanks Anne!
