Woman begins wedding vows with 'Sorry, this might sound really dumb, it's just, I was just going to say…'

She'd spent months rehearsing the personalized vows she'd written herself. She knew them inside and out. Every person in the banquet hall was completely rapt. The wedding officiant had just handed her the microphone. And at that moment, Ciara Capshaw, 35, began to speak.

"Sorry, um," she said meekly, with a nervous smile. "Sorry, this might sound really dumb, and if someone else has already covered it then totally ignore me, it's just…"

"It's just, I was just going to say that, Graham, you're my best friend, and the light of my life."

She paused before adding, "Does that make sense? Do you know what I mean?"

The groom, Graham Sandler, 39, leaned forward into her microphone, responding swiftly and with a firm, palpable confidence.

"Yep. Got it. Sounds good," he confirmed.

Ciara continued on with her vows.

"Okay so, sorry, forgive me if this issue has been brought up before — I've only been standing up here for a few minutes so it's totally possible I may have missed something, or I'm just not up to speed. Anyway, it's just, Graham, I'm so, so lucky to be spending the rest of my life with you."

"No one has brought that up before, no," Graham stated with such startling authority that no one in the banquet hall felt the need to question it. CBC Comedy's subsequent fact-check revealed that Graham has been married twice before.

At the exact moment Ciara opened her mouth to launch into her next paragraph, Graham cleared his throat for no other reason than it was a bit dry.

"Oh, sorry!! Did you want to say something?!" she gasped, pushing the microphone toward him so fast that it somehow picked up and amplified a screeching car sound. "You go ahead, I can go after!! No, no, no, totally go ahead, sorry, sorry. Ugh I've like totally been talking this whole time. I didn't even ask you one question about you. Ew, I'm the worst."

Graham indicated with a brief and impossibly cool hand gesture that he in fact had nothing to say at this particular time.

"I already went," he asserted in his steady, booming voice, which led to a 10-minute pause in the ceremony while every guest turned to his or her neighbour and said, "It's absolutely true, he did already go."

As per tradition, the wedding officiant concluded the vows by asking Ciara if she took Graham to be her husband.

"I do," Ciara began decisively, before growing flustered and uncomfortable.

"But if you guys don't it's totally okay!" she suddenly blurted out, turning to face her friends and family. "I'm easy. What do you guys want to do?"
