| The traditional wedding vows, minus "obey". |
| Whatever the rabbi made us say. I can't remember a word of it but it was pretty much the basic stuff - minus "obey". |
| Traditional Catholic wedding vows. |
| What the judge told me to say. Have no clue. |
| Traditional ones. |
Me too. I honestly can't remember what they were. |
| Traditional vows but I made the attendees (small family wedding) promise to stand beside us but never between us--if only they had honored their vows. |
| We talked about otters and penguins and their commitments to their mates. |

(Name) Do you take (other name) to be your wife? Will you love, honor, and cherish her, in good times and in bad? Do you promise to stay true to her as long as you both shall live?
*I do* (Repeat for other person) The ring is a symbol of unity into which your two lives are now joined in an unbroken circle; in which, wherever you go, you will return to one another. (Name), repeat these words after me: I, (Name), take you (other name), to be my wife, to have and to hold, from this day forth, to love and cherish, to comfort and respect, in sorrow or in joy, in hardship or in plenty, so long as we both shall live. I offer this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion. Let it always be a reminder of my vows to you. --------- Some heavy ish now that I read it back! haha |
| It was traditional vows. I remember the "sickness and health" line specifically because I was very sick (Day 3 of gastroenteritis) and my friends were laughing because everyone knew I was pretty bad off. |
Same here. |
| Nothing in English. Egalitarian Hebrew vows. |
| Honestly I have no idea. They were in Prakrit. Heh. |

I don't really remember. We wrote them ourselves and borrowed from this and that so it wasn't too cheesy. But basically it had something to do with loving, respecting, honoring, sharing and talking. Promising to work through hard and bad times. The basics.
No "obey" (I couldn't keep a straight face if we had). Nothing about god. And nothing specifically about being faithful (to me, expressing that sentiment just seemed unnecessarily MYOB for a public ceremony; I wouldn't say that any more than I'd publicly vow promising to have sex with him 'til the day one of us died). |
