Proposals and Vows

So what happens if you feel like you are going to faint or feel ill when you are asked for your vows? That would be your “Plan B”. Make sure your Pastor or Justice of the Peace knows how you are feeling, and if in the event you aren’t doing well, he/she can either read your vows for you or can read some selected text.

Also, if there is a particular passage (Bible, Torah, Koran, etc. ) that you’ve selected, that can be read by them, as well. Have a “gesture” or understood symbol to signify that you need him/her to read or select vows for you. I know it may not be something that you want to do, but if you are squeezed into a Wedding dress on a hot day with the air conditioning broken and standing in one place, chances are you may end up feeling more motivated to have all the help you can get.

If doing a family vow, you can also select a representative from the family to read and select and alternate. Your health is most important, and as long as you are able to become someone’s husband or wife for life, that is what your Wedding Day should be all about.
