Okay...first off...I'm terrible at writing. But I was wondering of what everyone thinks of my wedding vows..honestly. Everything I wrote, I mean.


Today, I feel like the luckiest person in the world. I get to marry you, my best friend. You are my shoulder to lean on, the twinkle in my eye, the beat of my heart. You are my world. You stand by my side, through thick and thin. You are a wonderful father, you make me laugh, you cheer me up, you hold me when I am scared and you always push when you know I am capable of more. I couldn’t ask for more.

I promise to stand by your by your side, through everything. I promise I will be here, waiting for your return from wherever you may deployed. I will accept the role as an Army wife and follow wherever the Army may take you. I will follow you throughout your career and wherever it may take you. I promise I will watch Star Wars with you and let you play your game often. I will be the best housewife I can possibly be. I will cheer you up when you are down, I will listen when you need to talk, I will be there with every curve that is thrown at you. I will stay by your side no matter what. I promise I will take care of you, weather you are disabled from war, have a cold or are just getting old. I promise to be with you and take care of you until the day we die. And after death, I will lay by your side for the rest of eternity.
I love you John, Thank you for loving me too. I am so glad to be finally taking your last name and to be able to say I am your wife.

    ....aside from his name, you could have been talking to my boyfriend, there: StarWars geek, gaming geek, Army medic...

    I think it's lovely. Congratulations.

    Very sweet. The only thing I would change are the words "disabled from war" You could just remove those words and the sentiment is unchanged. "I will take care of you, weather you have a cold or are just getting old" You've addressed being an Army wife in other lines so I think it's understood, without using a "negative" example in the vows.

    Blessings and happiness in your journey together!!

    I cried through my vows. Probably cause I knew I was making the biggest mistake of my life! But then again, that was the best mistake I ever made. :heart:

    Beautiful! I do NOT want to sound like a grammar Nazi, BUT is it more correct to say "I accept the role OF an Army wife"? Other than that, I have tears in my eyes. *sniff* :flowerforyou:

    Very sweet! I would rethink the letting him play his game often part but that's just me. My ex was a game *kitten* and it made me not be able to stand him.

    the only things I would change are:

    I accept the role as an Army wife and will follow wherever the Army may take you throughout your career.

    I promise I will watch Star Wars with you and let you play your game often - this part I'm not sure of. Saying "let you play your game often" sounds like you are a parent, not a wife. Does he need permission to play his game? Maybe something like "endure your video game playing." Something like that.

    Good luck. I was an Army wife. Some of the best years of my life.
