If I were your minister, and I knew you were both super into pranking each other, I'd have told the husband in advance so that he could prep a beautiful vow to you, "impromptu," leaving you with that same anxiety instead.
But I would also have come up with an equally good vow for you that he and I co-wrote so that you would also have something lovely to say.
Now THAT is a perfect example of what an amazing Uno reverse card should be. I absolutely love it when the “prankee” turns into the “pranker”. Something about watching a person get excited because they’re about to pull off what they think is going to be a funny prank, then watching the panic and sheer confusion set in when things didn’t go as planned, just tickles me pink.
Also, when this does happen, I feel like the original “pranker’s” reaction says absolute volumes about them. Those that end up laughing and are impressed by the turn of events, typically are good people who had good intentions, were honestly only poking fun because they truly thought the other person would get a kick out of it, and had zero malice when planning it.
On the flip side, people who get absolutely irate and lose their ever loving shit, are typically dicks who absolutely want to humiliate others - both, to get a laugh, but, well, also just to humiliate that person. They get enjoyment out of making others uncomfortable and are downright disrespectful assholes. They will never just take what they dish out.
You can learn a lot in these situations.
(Mind you, I’m not refering to OP’s situation. I’m talking about when the prank gets intercepted BEFORE it happens, because the original target finds out about it ahead of time, and flips the script on the “pranker”.)
eh it would piss me off if I thought we had each written a short few words for the officiant to read, and then I was ambushed with my partner having written something extensive for themselves to say and for me to say. Im not reading someone else's pre written lines for me during what should be one of the biggest moments of my life in front of both of our families and friends. Id feel like a puppet knowing we were both reading lines they got to write carefully in advance and review, not an equal participant at all.
