Getting married

Getting married I'm getting married this year and the one anxiety that is front and centre for me is that my future husband's name begins with a D. My worst letters for the beginnings of words are D and B, which get worse the more anxious I get. I have visions of getting to the part where I have to say '..take you, Dxxx to be my husband..' and not being able to say his name. Anyone else overcome this? I really struggle when I know 'bad' letters are coming up and my usual strategy is to not practise what I'm saying beforehand.
