Advertisers are required by law to speak truthfully about the products they are promoting. Why should it be any different for those who are getting married? Here's a vow that would have been much more appropriate than the one that was delivered to me by my W:<p>I, WS, take you, be_positive, to be my husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward (as long as I still have butterflies in my stomach and feel like a schoolgirl on her first date),
for better but not for worse,
for richer but not for poorer,
in health but not in sickness,
to love and to cherish, until things get difficult or someone better comes along. This is my solemn vow.<p>Thanks for putting up with my sarcasm and silliness! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>BP

And my H says "I don't get it" when I tell him I have an aversion to weddings. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] <p>My former wedding anniversary will always be a day of mourning for me. That was the day my life was stolen from me under false pretenses. Not to mention that he'd always said he wanted to renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Guess where he was and what he was doing instead when that anniversary rolled around last year. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] He better not dare to do anything but apologize to me when that date comes around this year.

Wow,
I know what you mean about the aversion to weddings. I frequently sing at them and it is very hard to sit through the vows... [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img]

There is no sarcasim here. My W and I actually discussed this in a round about way. <p>She wanted to know why I still wanted to work on the M. I told her that I still loved her and meant the vow I made to her. She said but she "didn't want to"<p>I then reminded her that when I made my vow and remembered her making hers that it was not - For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health or until "I dont want to anymore". I told her I would never have agreed to that.<p>She just shrugged her shoulders as if to say too bad.<p>Just thought I would share.
