Hello my fellow Brides,
We're in the process of meeting with our officiant to customize our wedding ceremony, and figure out what out wedding vows will be.
A long time ago in some thread long past, someone lined to a website that had many different wordings for different parts of a traditional western wedding ceremony. Does any one remember the link I'm refering to, or where to find it?
Our officiant is quite groovy and is strongly opposed to ownership language, so there will be no "Who gives this woman.." or "I Bob take thee Sarah" (It will be "I, Bob, choose thee Sarah")
[Note that Bob and Sarah are not our real names]
the officiant has suggested:
"I, Bob, choose you Sara to be my partner in marriage; to laugh with you in joy, grieve with you in sorrow, to grow with you in love, to be faithful to you alone, as long as we both shall live." - Which is a good start, but I think it could be tweaked.
Any thoughts or resources? (sorry, I'm not going to but the ceremony book that everyone mentions)
