I'm not sure what claim you think I was making. I was just providing
evidence that _some_ Jews do include vows in their wedding ceremonies, and
(what I thought was a funny anecdote) about a Catholic wedding I attended.

Exactly. That's my whole point. There's no way a musician could
intuitively know, so you have to talk to the participants ahead of time to
figure out exactly what they are planning (and expecting) for their
wedding. This is the _only_ point I've been trying to make with this
thread.
