Before my life began (BMLB) is from the “going full common playbook” of things a man can say when he is about to drop to one knee and put a ring on it! This phrase is also used when writing one’s own wedding vows to negate all of the “macking” you perpetrated before you met your wife — especially if old lovers are at the wedding and you want to throw a final elbow or two in their general direction. To use this phrase and sell it it, you must be at least 75% sincere AND say it with a straight face! After all you did invite ex’s to the wedding to make a point, didn’t you?
Him: Baby, none of them matter! That all happened before my life began (BMLB)
Her: Oh! When was that?
Him: When we finally surrendered to each other and fell in love
Now if you’re reading this and think it’s corny then you can’t pull it off. And if you can pull this off then go full Common and write your own vows because at some point you kissed the Blarney Stone!
