Hi 👋 this is my first post so bare with me..
Me & my partner are getting married summer of 2025 so still planning.
I am deaf or hard of hearing, depends what you want to call it. I can hear with hearing aids, without is very muffled. We started learning BSL about 4 years ago, mainly to support our autistic son with communication as he was a delayed talker but continued. We are both not fluent - I probably know and remember more signs than him, but he tries and always signs to me when I'm not wearing my hearing aids.
To the point... We have both decided to sign our vows/promises during our ceremony, mainly because that means something to us both but also because we are very private people. I also personally think BSL is a very beautiful language.
My thing that I keep getting stuck on is what the vows should be in a way that's sweet but short and simple enough to sign. I want it to be something we both repeat back to each other, like repetition. I also love how beautiful but simple the vows are in the wedding scene in 'Braveheart', especially with the hand-fasting (which we also plan on doing).
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
