Singing vows?

I don’t even like watching people sing in movies or to shows - so this would make me feel extremely awkward.
To each their own, but this is something that I find borderline silly - personally.

And you must somewhat care what people think, or you wouldn’t have asked for opinions here. 🤷🏼‍♀️

That's me being frank, I don't want them to be awkwarded out, I don't want them to be uncomfortable but at the same time this is one of the greatest moments of my life so in the end, I don't care what they think of the vows. Though I think they'll all love it as we both have great voices and it's a pretty short song.

It is a little silly, that's what I love the most.

Opinions are nice to have, however, I'm not going to change my mind due to what others think. I'm not a sheep. I just wanted to know what you all think of it as I value most of your opinions.

All the people who audition for American Idol think they have great voices too.
You asked for opinions and the majority have said it would be awkward for them as a guest. If you don't care what people think, that's fine, but what was the point of asking for opinions? I understand wanting to be the center of attention during the ceremony but I think the bride and groom are the center without being extra for attention.

View Quoted Comment I understand that you want it the way you want it, and you know your guests more than anyone here does. But those statements are opposite, you can't not care, but also care.

Haha that's true, I guess my voice may not be up to Hollywood standards but it's certainly great and Oh my gosh his is so beautiful. I posted because this is a wedding site, you're meant to post things about your wedding on here honey. I asked for opinions so I can see it from another person's perspective as most wise people do. I value all of your opinions and will keep them in mind, however I'm not gonna change something that means a lot to me just because people on the internet think it's awkward.

Oh man but I do both care and don't care. I want them to have a good time and I'm sure they will but ultimately I just don't care. Maybe it is contradicting but life is confusing and I can't help how I feel, ya know?

It’s not mushy, it’s awkward and cringey. You can certainly do whatever you want, but I guarantee guests will talk about it behind your backs, and not in a good way.

Well my family and friends wouldn't do that to me as they respect and love me. Sorry if that's what your friends and family would do!

View Quoted Comment Agree 100000% with B11. I would definitely find this awkward and cringey, and would be working hard not to laugh. But, OP, you "do you" since that's what you're going to do anyway.

This whole post cracks me up -- it's "classic WW":

OP: "What do you all think?"

Responses: "We disagree with you, OP."

OP: "Well, I don't care what you think."

And, OP: "I value your opinions, but ... I'm not going to change what I want because of 'people on the internet'!" (You know you posted to "people on the internet," right?)

None of this makes any sense. OP, if you want to sing your vows, then do it, but there is no logic at all in asking, "What do you think?" and then responding, "I don't care what you think!"

YOU ASKED: "do you think this is too 'mushy'? I don't want my audience to be upset." So it seems you have some doubt about how they'll respond regardless of how much they "respect and love" you....

View Quoted Comment Lmao y'all are cracking me up.

Hmm as a guest I would personally feel very awkward to hear you two sing your vows to each other. But, what if you and your FH sang during the reception? As some type of ‘performance’ and it might be less awkward since you would be singing a song and not your vows.

That's a great idea, but since we're having karaoke at the reception I feel like it wouldn't mean the same to me as I would shove it off as more of a joke. It's okay if people laugh at us, I know I would laugh at people doing this. It's mushy and cringy and I love it.

I think what the guests think matter very little. You guys do you and have fun. It's your wedding. Not theirs. Yours.

I would love to go to a wedding where the bride and groom sang their vows instead of just reciting. Points for creativity and doing something different!

View Quoted Comment Thank you at least a few of you get it.

I mean you've made it clear that you don’t really care how your guests feel... but I can 100% guarantee that a lot of your guests will find it extremely awkward. Yes, a marriage is a celebration of your love, and the spotlight is on the two of you. But that’s the thing. The spotlight is ALREADY on you. You don’t need to be a show off, and that is exactly how this will come off to your guests. Sing to each other for your first dance, or literally ANY other time other than your vows.
You can say that your friends and family won’t talk behind your back if you do this, and if you want to keep fooling yourself, that’s fine. But people will talk, and it won’t be good.
Dont post on here asking for opinions and then tell people that you didn’t care in the first place. Maybe you should take all of these comments into consideration.
