A minor error in form will not alter the outcome of a legal event.<BR/><BR/>In the case of a marriage, the signing of the certificate controls, not an error made while reciting vows during a solemnization ceremony. As far as the law is concerned, there is no specific prescribed content for the ceremony in the first place, so you can say whatever vows you want; there are no 'wrong' vows.Burt Likkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060980744675990412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-25490129407924799972009-01-22T13:33:00.000-08:002009-01-22T13:33:00.000-08:00Someone got their wishAfter a flawless recitation ...Someone got their wish<BR/><I>After a flawless recitation that included no Bible and took 25 seconds, Roberts smiled and said, "Congratulations, again."</I><BR/><BR/>Question to an attorney.

There is no need for someone to administer the oath, right?
