What did you vow?

[My sister's princess]

For all you married DISers, and everyone else to, what did you vow when you got married?
I am considering the very traditional vows to love, honor and obey. I would love to hear what other people have done, and how they feel about it....

I think it was love, honor and cherish.

Obey wasn't going to play into anything with me!

Love, honor, and cherish. The minister who performed the ceremony is a friend of mine. He told me that he didn't figure he could set me up for failure by asking me to do more than consult with my future husband.

It's been so long ago I don't remember Just to play it safe, I've "kept my nose clean" for the past 35 years.

Same here, although I tried to convince DH to say he was going to obey me!

I'm not a big obey-er. Never have been, never will be. I don't expect anyone, except for my kids and occasionally my dog, to obey me, either.

 

[Becky2005]

I don't remember. We used whatever the typical traditional vows were. I haven't the foggiest idea if obey was in there or not. I think they may have changed the wording.

Of course, DH jokes that he would have just prefered the fast version of "Do you? Do you? Let's eat."

We've been married 18 years so whatever we said must have been just fine.

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I don't think we had "obey"--I think we had "love, honor, and cherish"

 

[KimR]

I didn't think 'love, honor and obey' was even used anymore.

 

[TiggerTails57]

If you can get your future hubby to say "obey" good for you......

 

[MdmMim]

I told DH that "obey" was not going to be in any vows I made!

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Obey? Ick. I'm not a pet.

"Love honor and cherish."

 

[disykat]

I think it was love, honor, and cherish. However, I have no problem with obey as long as both spouses say it.

 

[jenm2878]

We went totally untraditional. I don't remember the exact wording, but it was something to the effect of, "I love the things I know about you, will accept the things I don't know about you, and will ask you to be no one other then yourself."

I really loved our wedding vows.

 

[C.Ann]

"Love, honor, and cherish.." We both agreed that "obey" was not necessary..

DD and her DH did the same thing - as well as writing the rest of their vows.. It was beautiful!

I"ll be the first to say that we both had love, honor and obey. You should have seen my face and the expressions we both had saying that last little bit. I had my eyebrow arched while saying it and he was sticking his tongue out at me when he said it. Everyone was cracking up because those that knows us were like hmmmmm

We did it because we wanted it to be a very tradtional service. His grandparents were there and because we were not having anything catholic affiliated with our wedding, we at least wanted the vows to be traditional.

I said "obey" and he said "cherish". I giggled when I said "obey". I had no idea I did this until I saw the video.
I really had no issues with saying these traditional vows. I knew he'd cherish me and I knew "obeying" wasn't going to be an issue with him. Heck, he won't even ask me to get him a soda--even after a surgery, lol.
And actually, he's been a pretty good obeyer.

Well, I think for the more traditional part of our ceremony we used love, honor and cherish. We also incorporated a handfasting, though, which we took as a very serious part of the ceremony. Per that we vowed a whole bunch of things, not all of which I can remember. DH keeps trying to slip things in, asserting that we vowed to them (i.e. you will buy your partner a Wii).

I would never have considered vowing to obey. If anything, that should have gone into DH's vows, but I'm too nice to require it of him.
