Important moments in the preparation for the ceremony of uttering wedding vows

Therefore, you have to discuss the idea with the bride or groom. It is better even to discuss the style (whether romantic, ironic, or poetic) and the form of vows (whether in poetry, in prose, or in a song), although the content can, of course, remain a secret.
