Wedding Bells

Today's wedding was an interesting affair. It was not held in a church, instead if was a nice small wedding taking place at a residence. The priest did a good job overall, however, while he was reading the vows, he made the groom repeat after him. This sounded strange as the priest spoke in third person... as a result we have the following exchange:

Priest: Do you Jane Doe take John Doe as your wife?
John Doe: Do you Jane Doe take John Doe as your wife?
Priest: Do you John Doe promise to be faithful, love her forever, random other mushy stuff.
John Doe: Do you John Doe promise to be faithful, love her forever, random other mushy stuff.

This went on until the very end. Many people were kinda puzzled as to why exactly the groom was speaking of himself in third person (all hail Atlantia! my brotherans....). The priest caught on quickly though, and did not ask the bride to repeat after him.
