Wedding vows

[ZaraJah]

For some reason, the traditional wedding vows are rapidly becoming a thing of the past...hell, it's not as if they mean anything to our more forward-thinking generation, starting with the baby-boomers (I think).

So, what would you have changed or have changed in the following and why?

<span style="color: #009900">

"Will you, _______, have _____ to be your wife/husband? Will you love her/him, comfort and keep her/him, and forsaking all other remain true to him/her as long as you both shall live?" ("I will")

(Repeat) "I, ________, take thee ______, to be my wife/husband, and before God and these witnesses I promise to be a faithful and true wife/husband."

(Rings) "With this ring I thee wed, and all my worldly goods I thee endow. In sickness and in health, in poverty or in wealth, 'til death do us part." </span>

For me, I would write my own, forsaking all of the above...especially the last sentence. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img] Puhleeeeze! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70400-talktohand.gif[/img]

A lot of people seem to like to replace that last part with "As long as we both shall love."

I still would leave that out, just because it seem so unrealistic. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]

"Will you, _______, have _____ to be your wife/husband? Will you love her/him, comfort and keep her/him, until you decide to forsake her/him and then call it a day!"

Re: Wedding vows

I would say the traditional crap but add in

"until we both find fault" instead of "until death do us part"

There should be an asterisk at the end of every sentence.

Re: Wedding vows

I, _____, take you, ______, to be my wedded husband. With deepest joy I come into my new life with you. As you have pledged to me your life and love, so I too happily give you my life, and in confidence submit myself to your headship as to the Lord. As is the church in her relationship to Christ, so I will be to you. _____, I will live first unto our God and then unto you, loving you, obeying you, caring for you and ever seeking to please you. God has prepared me for you and so I will ever strengthen, help, comfort, and encourage you. Therefore, throughout life, no matter what may be ahead of us, I pledge to you my commitment and my life as faithful wife.
