I Do I Do I Do...

Do you? :) Well some friends found the last post too depressing so here's something to make you all smile, especially for Uttara. I always think about marriage vows taken at weddings, the words, the meaning behind them and whether people can really live up to the promises made on their wedding day. Well whether they can live upto that or not, what matters is if they truly feel that way at the time of taking the vows. Now think about some funny words that could be uttered at the ceremony (like how Mr.Bean said 'holy goat' instead of 'holy ghost' in Four Weddings and a Funeral lol!). Here are my own versions of some of the famous vows taken at weddings.

Original:
I, John, take you Maria, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
My version:
I, John, take you Maria, to be my wife, to have and to scold from this day forward, for better or for worse depending on the situtaion ofcourse, for richer, much less for poorer, in sicknesses such as flu and in health, to love and to perish; from this day forward until your plastic surgery debts do us part.

Original:
I, James, take you, Tina, to be my lawfully wedded wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.
My version:
I, James , take you, Carol oooops Tina, to be my awful wedded wife, my constantly nagging friend, my frightful partner and my love from this day forward except when footy is on. I promise to love you unconditionally if you do the house chores, to support you in your goals not kitchen work, to honor and respect you, to laugh at you and cry cos of you, and to cherish you for as long as you let me sulk in the sofa.

Original:
I Darren, take you Catherine to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.
My version:
I Darren, take you Catherine to be my wife, my partner in crime and my one true pain. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I'd do tomorrow. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you and that's if I turn gay, loving you faithfully through good times and bad except when dinner is not ready - forget about loving then, regardless of the obstacles you may face while I watch and laugh. I give you my hand, my heart, my liver if there's transplant facilites, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall survive our ugly selfish fights.

Original:
I, Lisa, take you, Brian, to be my husband, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the man you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us.
My version:
I, Lisa, take you, Brian, to be my husband, loving what I know of you and hating the rest which is like 99% of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, btw that's a whole lot. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together which means you do the dishes every night, getting to know the man you will become or cease to be, and falling in love a little more every day, with the milk man ofcourse. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us as long as I get the bigger share in everything.

Original:
I, Karen, choose you Daniel to be my husband, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life.
My version:
I, Karen, choose you Daniel to be my husband, to respect you in your sorry successes and in your hilarious failures, to care less for you in your beer-induced puking sicknesses and by toilet-training you, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life, keeping in mind that you are the one who really needs to grow.

Unison vow orginal:
Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me.
My version:
Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me. Forgive me Lord for that was the biggest lie I ever said in my entire life.

:) Now you try making up some funny ones ok, either by using these same ones that I used or create your own. Have a hearty laugh folks! Are you feeling happy now, I DO ;-)

And A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ISHITA AND RAJIV for the 5th of July! This song is dedicated to you two.
