It is unusual, if not unlikely, that the actual text of the wedding ceremony is rehearsed.
I continue to be impressed by the lack of authenticity in the research by those writing about wedding protocol.
For example, Australian bridal magazines talk about marriage licence - which simply do not exist in Australia, and as far as I know, never have.
Then there's the advice given by an Australian bridal magazine - 'lodge your intention to marry.....with the relevant government body such as the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.' And another misleading comment.
What actually happens is that the couple are given the notice by the celebrant or the minister who is to marry them, and it is the celebrant or the minister who lodges the notice with the relevant government body not the bride and groom.
The couple don't need to go anywhere near the Registry Office, unless they are actually getting married there.
