You should allow room for intuition and instinct. These, more than formal preparation, are what will ultimately end up guiding you.

You can plan and plan and drown yourself in thoughts, but when it comes time to speak your vows, it won't mean a thing.

normally i'd agree with you
but if i don't put some thought into what i say, there's a good chance i'm just gonna shove my foot in my mouth

Then let it.

If that's the form your honest self takes, then let it be. In a Bond, that's more important than formality.

never actually occurred to me
i usually get told to put more thought into things instead of being impulsive

It's hardly universal. Context changes which approach is appropriate.
