Public Speaking- Why Reading Your Own Vows Can Be Stressful For Couples…
I always encourage my clients to add an additional element to ceremonies in order to make their wedding special. On a few occasions we’ve encountered a few stage fright issues once the Bride and Groom realized a crowded room of their family and friends were watching. “Chilling out” isn’t as easy as it sounds when something goes wrong. But, when you have an experienced wedding officiant and coordinator- you’re in good hands to overcome your stage fright because I’ve gone over the details and advised you that you can’t do anything wrong in front of your family and friends because they are here to support and rejoice with you.
Handwriting your vows is always best even if you think you’ve memorized them because once you are standing in front of a roomful of people, you could easily get jittery and forget what you wanted to say.
Why do ministers always read the ceremony? Like you we too like to be prepared and if you have customized your ceremony reading- we may not have had time to memorize it. Reading the “script” allows for us to be creative and “work in” your handwritten vows, unity candle, rose giving, hand blessing or sand ceremony by “picking up where we left off.”
When it comes to Dream Events, we are committed to not only helping you calm down prior to your “big moment” but also to ensuring your event is beautiful with loaned bouquets, bouteniers, cake stands, and more. Creating an inventory wasn’t easy but it was necessary for our clients who had no money for the “extras.”

Changing the wedding and events industry “one barter at a time” has been an adventure for my family and I as we move into our 7th year but, we’ve given the gift of a beautiful event to hundreds of families while sharing our unique journey through my blogs, videos and updates to document our journey because I’m planning to write a book that will give you more insight to the joys, sorrows and triumphs we’ve shared as a family and as a team committed to overcoming every obstacle.
Don’t worry about saying or doing the “wrong” thing at your event because if people are laughing- they are laughing with you and not at you. Have a good time and remember that your event is a celebration of love and laughter…
