How does a wedding work with a mute? I really want to get married.. with family and friends around but it makes me so unhappy that it probably won't even happen... I don't want to go to a courthouse to sign papers stating that I'm married.
Some people say vows, but you don't have to. If you want to say vows, you can use sign language, or you can write your vows and have someone read them for you. (Maid of Honor, perhaps?)
When it comes to the "I Do" part, you can sign it, or even nod. Maybe the groom can do it that way, too, so you are both doing the same thing.
However you want it.
Shoot, you don't have to be vocal to have a voice in this life, and you certainly don't have to be vocal to have your wedding day.

I have an uncle and aunt who are also mute and can't hear, their wedding was beautiful. We had people who were mute and/or def, and those who weren't and we all understood the ceremony and it was beautiful. You can do internet searches in your city for wedding coordinators who speak sign language.
