Love is a Verb - Ordinary Guy Extraordinary Marriage

I am not a fan of homemade wedding vows. I have been to weddings when, after the vows are exchanged, you look around and say, "Huh? Are they married?" How can you tell sometimes? I know he is her sunshine on a rainy day and she is his spring blossom blooming in the sun, but are they married? Our wedding vows were pretty traditional. "I, Terry, take you, Laura, to me my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to have and to hold from this day forward 'til death we do part. I promise to love you and honor you all the days of my life." That's it - clear, concise. If taken to heart, it will define my priorities and my choices, my mistakes, and my celebrations every moment of my life. With all of that riding on the clarity of my promise, I am happy that the vow is that brief and that clear.
