jbsegalTonight, I married a chinese couple who wanted to get married before the end of school, when one of them is returning to China. I had a bit more than 24 hours notice.
Their english is, of course, infinitely better than my chinese. That said, it wasn't very good.
A) I need to remember to never have non-english speakers repeat the vows... They should just be asked "Do you..."
B) beyond that, I don't know what would make it more meaningful.
Krissy: I always make sure to talk with people for a bit before-hand to get across the legalities and to sanity-check consent... I just want a better ceremony.
I almost did this one as just a conversation, some questions, and a pronouncement, but something better often seems warranted...
