Standing in front of your future spouse, friends and family to say your wedding vows can be a nerve-wracking experience. Are you going to follow the traditional route or write your own words about the person you are about to marry? Wedding experts Raymond Tse and Karen Wang offer some tips on saying the words that surround 'I do'.
He recommends couples to first visualise the setting and then rehearse the vows a few days before the wedding.
While knowing the words by heart may be difficult at such a monumental moment, Tse advises couples to try.
'I would encourage them to memorise it because if they read it from a piece of paper, or script, it will be too formal and they will not be able to show their facial expressions,' he says.
'If they can't, I can whisper the vows to them and they can follow me.'
Another suggestion, Tse says, is for couples to hold hands during the ceremony, which makes holding cue cards tricky.
