Is there anyway to not have to repeat back wedding vows?

Question

Just let them say all of that to us and then we can just say our I do's? .......any help would be great!

Answer 1

Tell the minister that you only want to say "I do" and he can make the changes so you can do that.

Answer 2

There is the legal part of a wedding which is not negotiable - which I believe are the "I do's" and then there is the ceremonial part, which I think the vows fall under.

And if that is the case, you can do whatever you want as long as your officiant is okay with it.

Answer 3

ask the minister or whoever is officiating your wedding. usually they will say the vows line by line so that you don't have to worry about memorizing anything.

for our wedding, the priest actually read the vows very quietly so only we could hear them and that way, our guests weren't hearing the vows twice.

good luck!

Answer 4

Yes, we are doing "I do"s only.

Ask your minister for suggestions, that's what we did

Good luck

Answer 5

Our minister gave us the option to do the repeat-back vows or just say our own vows.  We decided we liked the repeat back option since we didn't want to worry about having to memorize something or forget what we wanted to say, but we re-wrote them completely so they meant more to us than just repeating back "for richer, for poorer".  Unless you're Catholic, I'd think any minister or justice of the peace would be fine with you customizing how you want to do your vows.  Good luck!

Answer 6

No. Vows are not the same as a swearing in ceremony in court.  You have to actually speak a vow.  That is why during the swearing in of a president, he has to speak the vow rather than just saying something like "I so swear".

Just the "I do" part alone was a feature of the movies and the other stuff was cut for time.  It's because of all these variations in ceremonies that most state laws have legaleeze that makes your marriage valid if the intention was to be married, not that every single thing was carried out correctly (other than sigining the license.
