My So-Called Realistic Version of A Wedding Vow

Forget that traditional wedding vows full of bullshit and unrealistic expectations. In the ceremony of 2 people union, they should have the right to say their own vows. The truth, straight from the heart vows, that might even redden all the ears present at the ceremony, are so much better than lying to God, the witnesses, or worse, to yourself.

Here’s my own version of a wedding vow:

I love you… for now
I want to spend my life with you… for now
That’s why now I’m standing here
in front of everybody declaring this
I don’t know how long we’ll last
Because I might change my mind
Of not loving you anymore
Or not wanting to spend my life with you anymore
But while I still love you and want to spend my life with you
I want to make the best of it
The best so that there will be no moment
I would ever love you any less
Or would have a slightest thought to ever leave you
And replace you with somebody else

That, my friend, is what I call a true romance! Honest, no sugar coated ‘forever’ word, while you don’t have any idea whether you’re still gonna want to stick around in sickness or poor, or when someone more attractive than your spouse comes along.

"Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain..." (November Rain, GNR)
