Singing vows?

Alyssa, on March 22, 2019 at 4:12 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 45
My fiance and I plan on singing to each other instead of wedding vows, do you think this is too "mushy"? I don't want my audience to be upset.

    It's not that I think that it's mushy as I find it awkward as hell. Please save something like that for another private time.

    This just feels weird to me. As a guest, I like to hear what the couple says to each other if they write their vows and I feel like trying to listen to them in song form could be really difficult.

    I think that would potentially be awkward - your guests aren't an "audience," your wedding is not a show...unless you and FH are both involved greatly in music or theater and a large number of your guests share interest in this, I wouldn't go for it. If you really want to do some singing, that seems more appropriate for the reception!

    Oh that makes sense, I'm still going to do it. I grew up greatly involved in music and it's very important to both of us. I don't care what the audience thinks to be frank. My wedding is for me. I'll update how it goes!

    The fact that you consider guests an audience is really weird. Are you putting on a stage show or celebrating getting married with your family and friends?

    They’re your guests not an audience.

    The moment you invite a guest it is no longer all about you. Also, you are getting married, not putting on a show.

    Do what you will, but be prepared for your guest to think it's weird.

    It's different. I'd suggest keeping it short and sweet if you do.

    It is pretty short and sweet, I think it's going to go great. I think of them as guest of course I just couldn't think of that word when writing this so I went with audience which is technically correct. My wedding is about me and my fiance. Not the guest, it's 100% their choice to come.

    Yeah, I'm sorry. It's not about all of you. You want it to be just about the two of you? Elope.

    You need to make sure your guest have a good time.

    As a guest, I would find it a little odd. I like to listen to views but if I'm focused on the singing the vows may get lost in the music. I think singing as you enter is a much better idea if you want to sing during your ceremony or maybe do a duet during the reception. If you are dead set on it, to each their own. I know my crowd would laugh about it for awhile though..

    You are also the host of the celebration. You're hosting your guests to ensure they have a good time as well. Would you host a New Years Eve party and not keep your guests in mind when planning?

    "I dont care what the audience thinks to be frank", but in your original post "I dont want my audience to be upset".

    Soo I'm a bit confused. But either way, I would think it was a little weird/interesting, but I wouldn't be upset/ angry or anything like that. I dont think this is something that would really affect the overall guest comfort, so if you're really into it, do it.

    What was the point of posting this if you don’t care what anyone thinks?
