...Until you piss me off...

lookout123 · 07-22-2005, 03:50 PM

Obviously many people want to change and personalize their wedding vows, but damn.

I promise to love, honor, and cherish you "Until our time together is over" ?

or maybe "For as long as our marriage shall serve the greatest good.".

It just seems like if you are squeamish about making a lifetime promise before the wedding, maybe you shouldn't be getting married. and yes, i have a divorce in the past, so i know what the fear is, but... damn.

I promise to love you until a better piece comes along.

i agree. my ex-wife has a different view. in her case it was she got what she wanted then split a month and a half later. filthy fuckin' bitch. i could get really worked up and rant about her, but i won't. i was/am a believer in death til you part and was willing to work through the differences but like i said, she bailed. not me. pffff. fuck it. i'm gonna go clean the house.

This doesn't seem right to me...of course, I'm a romantic at heart, but still...

That's called the "easy weekend" vow. "I'll stick around as long as its a good time, but if I get bored or something better comes along, I'm outta here."

Whatever between two consenting adults, but its heartbreaking when kids get to bear the fallout of this here today, gone tomorrow philosophy. Members of BOTH sexes can be the villain on this one, too.

I was married for 20 years and am now divorced for what that's worth.

Damn! You and I have been through practically the same thing! The ax murderer stole at least $5,000 from me and then bailed at once. Little devil thought I was so stupid I wouldn't put two and two together, but I did and it equalled 5, so I started doing some serious digging into his past. The authorities are gonna love what I have on the dude when I waltz through their doors to file criminal charges.

The opposite sex. Sometimes you just have to hate them. No offense, guys, I'll get over it.

I'm pretty sure my vows said "as long as we both shall live." A little more upbeat than "'til death do us part," anyway.

When my wife marries/handfasts people, she usually ends each person's vow with "...for as long as love shall last".

Not surprisingly, I have some old fashion views regarding marriage ... if you're going to do it, you should to be willing to work at it. Marriages, despite the ease of the poorly named "no fault" divorce, are work. It's not something one should start or end impulsively.
