I've been to a couple of weddings where the bride and groom recite wedding vows/special sentiments that they each wrote. Both of the ones I saw were very sweet and endearing but very personal also. I had kind of a weird reaction to them....each time I felt like it was too mushy and it kind of made me uncomfortable. I don't suppose that all personal written vows would make me feel that way, but the two I saw were extremely gushy. I felt like everyone was intruding on their privacy.....even though they wanted it that way.....very weird.
When I was planning my own wedding someone asked if I wanted to insert some of my own words in the ceremony. My initial reaction was to say "no way". I just wanted the basic "I do" exchange. I thought that was weird for me even back then because I have always been so romantically inclined. I could not imagine saying anything deeper or personal in front of a group even if they were family and friends. I realize now that it was because of my introversion......it is all seeded deeply inside me.
I guess the types that would want to say those things publicly would be extroverted feeling types. Although one of them I witnessed was very much an introvert. (An INTJ or INFJ.....I think......oh forget that...I don't know what type she is....she is an enigma.)
pondering again
