Can someone please help me because I really don't understand how they work!
I'm trying to fill in the paper work now to get our choices etc sent off but I'm getting all confused by the vows!
We have chose Declaratory words - by replying 'i am' to the question
'Are you --- free lawfully to marry ---?'
And contracting words
I call upon these persons here present to witness that I --- do take thee --- to be my lawfully wedded husband (or wife)
Now if we chose to have extra vows how does it work, where do they go? Is it the type of thing still that the registrar says it and you repeat it or Is it something you have to learn and say yourself ?
I've never been to a civil ceremony before (only church weddings) so I don't really understand it all!
