Help! Comments on Vows?!

Idin, you are my one and only soul mate and on this day I promise to give my whole self to you whole heartedly and entirely. Through all the trials and tribulations we have been through we have managed to grow closer than most couples will in a life time. Today I will become your Lois Lane and you my Superman. After all these years I have had the frightening privilege of getting to know every thing about you from how much parmesan cheese you want on your meals (which is typically an insane amount) to your favorite brand of underwear and socks (which I have search the earth for, 80% polyester!) but today is about promises and my vows to love you with no conditions. I will not stand here like much others do on their wedding day and be optimistic, because I am not. I am sure. I am sure I found the one whom my soul loves, and I am sure you are my partner and my very best friend. My commitments are simple yet intricate. I vow to love you even when you don’t deserve it, because I know that is when you will need it most. I promise to support you and your decisions and honor you without doubt. I promise to let you tell the story of how we met, even though we both know you’re fibbing! I vow to wear out the words “I love you” and to always be happy by your side. I vow to be truthful to hold nothing back and to care for you for the rest of our days. From this day forward you will never walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. And as I have given you my hand to hold, Today I give you my life to keep. I praise and Thank God for you, I know that our love is heaven sent and here in front of all the people we love I truly promise to be here for you and love you forever and for always.

  • I like it, but I caution too much inside information, like the "Lois to your superman" part, the part about him fibbing about how you met, and even the vowing to love him even when he doesn't deserve it.  As long as the majority of your guests will hear that and understand it, it sounds really good.  Otherwise, that is something that you could put in a wedding speech later where you have time to explain it, because I'm sure guests who don't know will be dying to have an explanation.  (Truth be told, I'm  curious - do you guys really like the Superman comics, or the movies, or you met over a love of the tv show . . .)
    Other than that, i really like so many of the things you've said - like wearing out "I love you" and vowing that he never has to walk alone - just beautiful!

  • Honestly, I felt pretty uncomfortable reading about his underwear in your vows.  Remember that this is the most important promise you will make, and should not be taken lightly.  Also, I agree with PP and the 'even when you don't deserve it' part... that seems, I don't know, almost bitchy from a completely outside perspective.

  • I think it's nice that your vows are realistic. Maybe the word "deserve" is a bit harsh, but I think it's a little refreshing to hear vows that mention the bad parts too because when you marry someone you aren't just marrying the good parts, you get all of them for the rest of your lives.
