Our Vows

We have decided to rewrite the entire wedding ceremony to fit our needs. David and I have specific beliefs about marriage, and we do not want to pledge before the God and Goddess things which we have no intention of doing.

Therefore, we have written our own vows, which are brief, but to the point. We hope to uphold these vows in our lives together.

We also state, 'For as long as love shall last between [us].' This is because forever is a long time(as is 'until death'). And the Universe can see 'forever' as meaning multiple lives. I do not want to bind myself to someone through life after life, no matter how much I love them, because you need separate lives in order to grow. Sometimes what you need to learn and what the other needs to learn are not the same, and it is unfair to force them to be stuck with you as you learn your lesson, holding them back from theirs.

We also have a little surprise for those who want to make a fuss about the 'If anyone has reason these two should not be bound together' section. Hopefully no one would be so cruel as to make a fuss, but there are some people out there (we shall not name names) who might be bitter enough to say something at the ceremony instead of beforehand, in private, when they should.
