On Examining the Wedding Vows
Prior to our own marriage, we didn’t carefully go through the wedding vows that we were about to make to each other. So, we thought that others may be falling into that same trap. Therefore, we decided to examine the traditional wedding vows, phrase by phrase. Enjoy!
“I take you to be my…”
“… lawfully wedded husband/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.”
