In a Wedding ceremony everything looks absolutely perfect when we think about the new life that is just starting. One of the most interesting moments of the ceremony is the Wedding Vows when the priest usually asks the bride and the groom to say their names and promise to be “lawful and loyal to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part”. That’s beautiful, of course, but seems to have a lack of reality about the life we live in the present moment.Maybe the next suggestions could be a little bit more genuine. What do you think?
- I promise the passion is not going to make me an obsessive person, but instead to be respectful about the individuality of my husband/wife, because he/she doesn’t belong to me and if he/she is part of my life is because of his/her free will.
- I promise I’m going to be the best friend and the best lover my husband/wife ever had, being aware when I must be one or another, and still be a romantic person, at the same time.
- I promise to make our life together the best way to age together, not the best way to complain about dreams that could not become true.
- I promise to be happy being next to my husband/wife, just because he/she is the person who knows me the best, so he/she is my best helper, as much as I’m his/her best supporter.
- I promise I’ll allow my husband/wife to know everything about me.
- I promise to be gentle, kind and temperate, never using the everyday life as an excuse for my irritability.
- I promise to make sex without modesty, to have children because I want to, not because that’s what society expects from me, and I promise to raise them to be independent, intelligent, polite and aware of the life ahead.
- I promise never bad-mouth about my husband/wife.
- I promise the word “freedom” is going to have the same meaning I always believed in and I promise I’ll be in charge of myself without being dependent of my husband/wife.
- I promise I’ll always be the same person I was minutes before I enter for the wedding ceremony.
In this case, I now declare you husband and wife… You may kiss the bride…
