Being a modern woman, I say that you can get married anyway you want, in any costume and with any living, self-aware, understanding individual you like. I’m just missing the demise of the traditional wedding vow. Women got a glimpse of the romance involved in concocting your own marriage vows somewhere around the time that the new age movement started making its way into the average home with fun and funky coffee table books.
We started suggesting that making our own wedding vows would be a perfect and unique way to declare our love in marriage. What we got were a bunch of guys sitting around in their boxers the day before the wedding trying to rime love with a family appropriate word for smoking, hot, horny, momma.

Long ago, they sat back, analyzed and pored over the meaning of each little word, the weight of the sentences the attention spans of the attendees and more to create perfects little promises of life long or undying affection, depending on which religion you follow.
