Traditional wedding vows are so outdated

[Wendy]

Traditional Wedding Vow:
<span style="font-style: italic">I, Jennie, take you Peter, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part</span>

Is it time for a 21rst century wedding vow make over?

I think this traditional stuff is dull …people getting married these days should get to the point and spell out what they really expect, like:

<span style="font-weight: bold">Wife</span>: Do you promise to love, honor, cook for me, clean up after yourself, surrender your share of the blanket , carry my Macy’s shopping bag, relinquish the remote control, split the difference on the thermostat or risk death doing us part?

<span style="font-weight: bold">Husband:</span> Do you promise to stop writing embarrassing stuff on my facebook wall for all my friends to see, have sex 5 times a week with or without a headache, comfort me when my football team loses, keep me out of the dog house and put the toilet seat down yourself from now until infinity?

What would your vow say?

Re: Traditional wedding vows are so outdated

My vow -

Do you promise to treat me exactly how you expect to be treated by me? Do exactly the things you want me to do for you and be there for me in exactly the way you expect me to be there for you?

Good one Mangoose


<span style="font-weight: bold">Wife: </span>Do you promise to be forever richer and not poorer than the day we met? Do you promise to expect that your closet space will decrease very month until you have to move out of it entirely? Do you promise to use the word &quot;Yes&quot; all the time when asked for jewelery from dis day forward?

Re: Traditional wedding vows are so outdated

I actually love the traditional vows especially, &quot;I plight thee my thoth...&quot;

From the old Anglican prayer book

Minister To Groom: M., Wilt thee have this Woman to thy wedded Wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thee love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?

Minister to Bride: N., Wilt thee have this Man to thy wedded Husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thee obey him, and serve him, love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?

Groom:<span style="font-style: italic"> I M., take thee N., to my wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth</span>.

Bride: <span style="font-weight: bold">I N. take thee M. to my wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth</span>.

Groom Giving The Ring: <span style="font-weight: bold">With this Ring I thee wed, with my Body I thee worship,
and with all my worldly goods I thee endow</span> In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen
