Unforgettable Wedding Vows

Fun Vows

You are my husband/wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind thinks because of you. And I shall love because of you.

I want us to grow old and crusty together, to shake our collective fists at teenagers, and to talk endlessly about the old days when things were better, cheaper, and generally more wholesome.

I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, until death do we part or you turn into a zombie. Because then we’re going to have to start seeing other people.

Once I take your hand, I promise I’ll never let you go – our clothes will have to be specially made – but it’ll be worth it.

I vow to be your spell checker, grammar friend, and tell you when things need hyphens. I promise to be your partner in exercise, even if I am much faster than you, and most of all, I promise to try things, even though I am sure I will not like them, just because you say, “try this”.

I vow not to take any of your less pleasing habits personally, even though I really wish you would put the keys back on the key hook, and not leave your shoes in the middle of the hallway, and I love you.

I vow to laugh, for real, at your every joke no matter how stupid or poorly told. I love you that much.

Let’s be dumb together – just plain stupid. Make bad choices, eat the wrong things, take the bad turns, and then let’s tell great stories, the same ones – for ever and ever until no one can stand us but each other.

I would marry you in a boat and with a goat. I would marry you in the rain and in the dark and on a train. And in a car and in a tree, you are so good – so good to me. So I will love you in a box and I will love you (you’re a fox) and I will love you in our house even if it has a mouse, and I will love you here or there. I promise to love you anywhere.

Let’s forget when to shut up, forget being polite, let’s be that couple, those people, and have the time of our lives until we drop dead.

A pair of penguins mate for life, across hundreds of miles of tundra, the female penguin travels to bring food to the male, as he watches the egg over a month of sub-zero temperatures. As your husband, I promise never to ask you to do anything like that.
