Get Insipred with Minister Effizey: WEDDING VOW...

Tuesday 26 August 2014

WEDDING VOW...

Pardon my musings... In nigerian weddngs it's common to hear the same monotonous vows recited over and over again and everyone can practically anticipate the next words out of the preacher's mouth. in the

penticostal setting it goes something like... "i .... take thee..... as my lovely wedded wife, to love and to cherish, to have and to hold, from this day forward, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance."

catholic setting it goes like..."I, ___, take you, ___, to be my husband/wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honor you all the days of my life."

and i must say the vows are lovely, however as I prepared the marriage register last weekend in the church conference room, I heard the couple reciting their vows and I imagined what it would be like, how creative it would be, how deep and touching with meaning the words would be if I wrote my own vows myself,

But since we belong to a penticostal dispensation where such is not really the order of the day, i decided to write it as a letter instead and share it with you...

Ok, here we go...

I promise to give you the best of myself and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person and to realize that your interests, desires

and needs are no less important than my own.

I promise to share with you my time and my attention and to bring joy, strength and imagination

to our relationship.

I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you see through the window of my world into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face changes in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.

I promise to love you in good times and bad, with all I have to give and all I feel inside in the only way I know how, completely and forever

THEN AT THE POINT OF EXCHANGING RINGS...

MY OH MY... don't i just feel like getting married already..... (Mental note to self, i gatz explore the possibility of reciting this on my wedding day oooo)

oya my people una don read am... wetin una think ooooo

Men I completely agree with you. Talking to some newly wedded couple sometime back. I realised that they didn't even know their vows. Our Nigerian churches only encourage couples to Resite their vows as against knowing what they are really saying and meaning it. Personally I will like to write my own vow so I can say what I know, feel, and mean. But as a catholic I don't think that will be happening anytime soon in nija. :)

Yeah I agree that vows are always lovely. These lines you have shared are really nice. Can I use some of these lines for my vow renewal day? The second last line is my favorite. I am definitely going to use this one. Well dear thanks for this wonderful post!
