Isn’t it silly to think a marriage contract must be serious all the time, allowing for a breather only during the wedding reception. Do people really frown on funny wedding vows? If the marrying couple are always serious and want to break up their own lives with a bit of humor, whose to say that it is wrong. That is not a question open for answers, it is a statement, like; whose life is it anyway. You don’t really want an answer, you are stating a frustrating question out loud. No answer required.
Of course, saying vows is important as you must abide them for the rest of your married life. But, isn’t the act itself serious enough? That can be answered. If you want to break a serious situation up with laughter, wouldn’t that set the tone for the rest of that glorious day? If you and your fiancé want to do something different, because you want different results than the standard marriage, try making each other laugh. You both must agree that it is acceptable to say your funny wedding vows, that way no one is surprised.
It’s not a comedy show, but since everyone is sitting there anyway, some may even be sleeping, so liven up that beautiful day by showing your guest that it is okay to smile, and even chuckle. It doesn’t have to be the end of the world if your parents don’t think it’s proper. They had their turn. Besides, those funny wedding vows can go a long way during that stressful time. Practice in the mirror or with your partner. Make your day, your day. No one else can live it for you or can be blamed if it isn’t exactly what you wanted. Even if everyone protest because they don’t think you are being responsible, you are committing the rest of your life to someone, isn’t that enough?
Take in mind, I am not talking about the reception toast. That is a personal blessing from your best friends. They usually are funny and everyone laughs. What if you think you and your fiancé are being cute and funny and no one laughs? Would that end your world, make your commitment less sincere, or mean that your marriage is doomed to fail? Of course not, it means you have a bunch of old fashioned folks in your audience, and if the standard vows were good enough for them, their grandparents, and their grandparents’ grandparents, it should be good enough for you.
Whoever you are, remain true to yourself and your relationship. If you want to laugh instead of faint from stress, make up something cute and sweet to say to your future spouse. I’m sure it will be a welcome relief. If not, maybe you need more time to figure out who you both are, step back, find a safe ground to stand on. The stress of getting married can ruin any good wedding, and most brides are so stressed out, they don’t even remember the day. Give yourself and your honey something good to remember. Say your funny wedding vows and have a great day!
