Read your ceremony script well...

Alejandra, on July 28, 2021 at 6:53 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 10

My husband and I read our wedding ceremony script together once our officiant customized it for us. We read them maybe twice and I emailed a copy to him and kept one for myself. The weekend of our wedding I reminded to my husband to to read them an just know when certain things were going to happen. For example we had a rose ceremony for our mothers since we were both raised by single women and of course when to say "I do". I mean you're already nervous and feeling all sorts of ways so its just best to know. Cue the part where the officiant asks my husband if he'll take me to be his wife and he says "Yes" with the absolute biggest grin of his life, my poor baby! Seconds later that grin disappeared when my response was "I do", at the moment he felt so bad but its okay because well we still got married!

It was in no way, shape or form something that ruined our day but at that one moment my husband felt bad that he didn't say I do and no we joke about his Yes and my I do.

    Yes means the same as I do, probably more enthusiastically so. Hopefully you aren't bringing it up or making a big deal about it at all.

    I think little things like that make the moment more special, hopefully he can find that joy again!

    Wow, I totally didn't expect this type of response. Perhaps the entire thing was not read. No one blamed my husband, his joy was not lost and this post is not to make a big deal. We've been happily married for almost 2 1/2 years and we laugh about it now but that day he felt really bad, as if he had messed something up. These are not my feelings, these were his, which I heavily took into consideration. After some talking to and him realizing that no one really noticed he was fine. Through out our engagement he'd turn a lot of his responses to me to I do as a fun little thing we had together and the day we got married he totally forgot when that line came in.

    This was about preparation, making sure you are aware of your ceremony script so that you are not lost when its happening and know when its your turn to speak. With all of the nerves that people have on that day I figured its a nice thing to suggest so that couples know. Not everyone has a rehearsal, I didn't so that was our experience.

    Edit to add: I thought I was just adding a comment to the post and not responding to a certain comment, just giving a blanket response. Sorry about that.

    Its sure does, which is why the officiant didn't question his answer.

    That’s super cute! You should definitely know your ceremony script, but an enthusiastic “yes” is perfect in my opinion! Maybe even better than a stiff and rehearsal “I do” 😂

    My husband tried to put my wedding ring on my right hand.

    Officiant: Please place the ring on Eniale's left ring finger.
    Husband: *takes my right hand and starts trying to put it on*
    Me: *under my breath because I don't want to embarrass him* wrong hand
    Officiant: *obviously trying not to laugh* Her other left ring finger.......
    Husband: *goofy laugh he does when he's flustered* I don't know what I'm doing, I've never done this before!

    Everyone got quite a laugh.

    Aww, you are seriously so nervous that you don't even realize it. That's a good way to lighten the mood, with a good laugh!
