It was always a question on my mind, do we really need to say “i do” always on wedding ceremonies? If you are the bride or groom and you are asked by the priest or the minister will the answer must be always “i do”? Can’t we say other words? Nor can we say “no”.
Though I haven’t experience to witness in a wedding that the bride nor groom says “no” when they were asked. But what if they say no? Most of the people inside the ceremony hall will be puzzled or surprised by that I know. But do they really mean thier ” I Do’s?” Or maybe they weren’t unsure of the answer instead they say i do.
Many of the marriage were being ended to divorce or annulment nowadays due to the fact that most of the couples were not sure of what to answer. Or some may knew what to answer but they are afraid to say it aloud so they ended tied with the person they don’t want to marry.
We must accept the fact that not all marriage happens because the couple want it to happen but there are also ties that the marriage happens for some reasons which are hard to explain. So what will be your reaction if your soon to be wife or husband says “no” when he/she ask “Do you accept this man/woman as your lawful wife/husband?”
