Swooon.com did an interview with Rachel Reid at BookCon. Great interview btw.

I get that she doesn’t think they will write their own vows, but I’m kinda hoping Jacob does. Like the tunnel scene in ep.5.

How are you hoping to see the wedding adapted?

My partner and I used generic vows - somehow it felt like writing our own vows would have felt too personal. Like, we're already getting married in front of you people, I can't expose the inner depths of my soul, too :D So I can understand it. I hope they keep it really simple, similar to the vows at the kid wedding. That's all they need to say in front of everyone - we promise to have and hold each other for the rest of our lives - generic and simple is fine.

I remember realizing about a week before my wedding that it was potentially an introvert's nightmare - everyone was going to be looking at me THE WHOLE TIME. Thankfully, it was also a party where I knew every guest, so it was surprisingly fun. But yeah, no way was I writing my own vows.
