So my FH and I decided a long time ago that we wanted to write our own vows but say them to each other privately right before the ceremony because we wanted that moment to be raw and intimate, without all eyes on us.
But that brings me to my question: for the ceremony, should we say traditional vows? Would that take away the meaningful vows we wrote to each other? Would the officiant say “the couple has written their own vows and have said them privately just before the ceremony” (or something like that). I don’t know what is proper etiquette in this situation. Also — we are not traditionalists so we are not dead set with how we want our ceremony to go. All unique and creative ideas are welcomed!
TIA !!
