Yes, you do. However I am there to support you the entire way.
If you like you I can print these words, as well as you repeating them after me.
We can also do your vows without a microphone, as long as your two witnesses can see and hear you.
These are the exact words required for a marriage to be legal in Australia,
I can break this down into very small sections for you to repeat after me.
P1, please repeat after me:
I call upon the persons here present, to witness that I, P1, take thee, P2, to be my lawful wedded wife/husband/partner.
And P2, please repeat after me,
I call upon the persons here present, to witness that I, P2, take thee, P1, to be my lawful wedded wife/husband/partner.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I was so incredibly proud of you both for doing your wedding your way, it was perfect. Often people can be pulled into doing things different ways, you both did an amazing job, making your ceremony so incredibly you. And having your three dur babies there, made my day. I'm so glad I got to be part of your beautiful day.
