So we’re
back to our topic of wedding vows and where they came from. As I stated in our last post, in the Roman Empire it was considered a ‘vow of marriage by mutual consent’ initiated by the father on
behalf of his daughter. However,
according to Catholicism, wedding vows are referred to as a ‘Rite of Marriage’
and it goes a little something like this;
“I,
____, take you, ____, to be my (husband/wife). I promise to be true to you in
good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you
all the days of my life1.”
So
miss modern bride – what do you think?
Do you promise to be true to your soon-to-be hubby? Of course you
do. But you do understand that the ‘Rite
of Marriage’ wedding vows are legally binding right? Well, let me rephrase the
question. Do you promise to tell your
soon-to-be husband the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth all of
days of your life? Uummmm…
Yeah,
like when you want those Jimmy Choo’s that you agreed during marriage
counseling that you wouldn’t make a large purchase without his consent; only
you and your single bestie went to the mall and they were having a sale and she
conveniently convinced you to get them.
Yeah, that kind of truth. Do you
promise to tell your husband the truth - that you made that large purchase
without his approval? SMH.
It’s
things like this you need to consider when writing your wedding vows Ms.
Thing. No, you don’t have to write “I promise to buy Jimmy Choo’s only when
they’re on sale” in them; but remember that you’re making a vow young lady
to be true to the man you vowed to be legally binded to for the rest of your
life; and that truth includes more than just being faithful! So are you still
