I am a super shy bride with extremely bad social anxiety so I'm trying to make sure my ceremony is as short as humanly possible. His dad is our preacher and he can be very long winded. I know if I don't write exactly what he can say that I'll be standing up there for a year lol Does this sound okay? We are very religious but I don't want to take time for scripture readings and such to leave me up there longer. Anything to add or take off to make it better?? I'm wanting to do the vows and ring thing together to make it shorter too!

*** please place ***'s ring on her finger.
*** do you take *** to be your wife?
