Poll: which marriage vows did you use, or would you if you got married?

Question

1) Love, honor and cherish for both spouses,

or

2) Love, honor, and cherish / Love, honor, and obey.

No rants on gender roles, please. This curious little bunny's inquiring mind would just like to know how many prefer the modern or traditional wedding vows.

Answer 1

I think they said obey at our wedding haha

Answer 2

We'd use the traditional vows. I'd say love, honour and obey and my partner would say love, honour and cherish.

I don't think I could keep a straight face either, especially with all my family listening! If only they knew ;)

Answer 3

I think we used "obey".  We didn't even think about which one we should use, but the "obey" is more funny to us than anything serious.

Answer 4

cherish was what we used...I don't agree with the 'obey' thing (I don't need a parent or boss)...and if I'd had a brain back then, I'd have changed the 'til death' to be "as long as it's good and right for both"...

Oh well, live and learn. IF I ever remarry (and I don't care if I don't) the vows will be more realistic...there won't be anything in there that divorce could make someone a liar or vow breaker.

Answer 5

I don't know anything about wedding vows, traditional or not, since I'm not married... but the "cherish" one sounds better... anyway if I wanted someone to obey me, I'd get a dog, not a husband... it's romantic when both of us say "cherish" :)

Answer 6

had read are own vows

Answer 7

Love honor and cherish,

A funny but true story...........  I'm engaged been with him for 6 years, we were in Vegas and talked about getting married on the spur of the moment....we were on a bus with lots of people and I said i would love, honor and cherish, but not obey......I recieved alot of cheers from others, needless to say- we still arenet married
