A Question (Or Two) About Wedding Vows...

[arwalden]

Does anyone still use the "honor and obey" line anymore?

Which is correct: "until death DO US part" or "until death US DO part"?

1. I didn't nor would I

2. Bow down before the one you serve.

ALL MUST OBEY!

7. You're gonna get what you deserve.

Arrgh... now you've got that song stuck in my head!

9. Head like a hole!

3. I'll promise to obey

If he will......

4. I don't think we had either of those lines

Something about life long and blah blah, and committment and yadda yadda. I wasn't really listening.

5. I made sure the "obey" part wasn't in there...

My hubby's of the sick and twisted sort that he would have taken advantage of that. :evilgrin:

And I think it's "until death do us part," but now that you've mentioned it, I'm really not sure.

6. Well...

On the first one, we didn't...and the ONLY way we actually ever WOULD have said it would've been if BOTH of us said it...to each other!

On the second one, it's actually "'Till death us do part". :D

B-)

10. Geez, I have no idea what our vows were

we were married in Vegas, and I think the guy who married us also did Elvis weddings. We didn't pay for the Elvis wedding (it's $75 extra!), but he kept slipping into that voice, so I was having the hardest time not falling on the floor laughing during the whole thing. I may have agreed to buy a condominium, I don't know.

11. We substituted "respect"

We thought that was more appropriate.

12. Ever think about it.....

"until death DO US part" was written when people lived till about 40 years old.

13. I never obeyed

but I'm not married anymore, either. ;-)

I think "until death DO US part" is American. "... US DO part" is british.

Are you guys thinking of getting hitched?
