So my FW has major hearing loss (HoH) and is very introverted and shy, so she speaks really quietly and doesn't like talking in front of large groups or really more than a couple people at a time unless she is very very comfy with them. (I also have public speaking fears/anxiety/medical issues but dang one of us has to hold up the fort right?)
During the ceremony we generally would like to say our own vows but when we were discussing this she jokingly said, "can I just make a video for you and put my voiceover on it like I do for anniversaries and Valentine's day? Problem solved!" I laughed but wondered if that was an actual option. Like... you do you have to say your vows out loud IN PERSON that day? Could we say the very short "repeat after me vows" during the ceremony and then after, go someplace togther and say our vows to each other privately just the two of us?
I'm kind of trying to keep the anxiety level at a minimum for both of us and wondering what kind of options we have. There will (hopefully) be about 100 guests and that's... a lot for her.
Thanks for any and all responses/suggestions in advance!
