307 Entries for “vows”

  1. They were recited under a gazebo in a public gardens, where volunteers planted pansies and watched from the parking lot. Words like commitment, devotion, love were written in longhand and memorized for the day. Words do not govern life. And as they grew, they grew apart. Until she found another. He found those vows in a cardboard carton, yellowed with age, and burned them in a cleansing exorcism.

  2. marriage vows. what do they mean to you? what does it even signify? are they still considered sacred? if so, explain the divorce rates in the world. explain the dishonesty, the adultery, the unhappiness.

  3. David and I exchanged traditional marriage vows at our wedding last month. And yesterday, I finally got him to admit that he had slept with my mom after we had gotten together, even though we weren’t married yet. I have never hurt like I have been since I heard him say that.

  5. Vows are taken for so many different reasons. Marriage vows, friendship vows, professional vows etc. But why do we take these vows. Is it because we need something that we can trust or because vows just make us feel safer or is it something else.

  6. you take vows when you marry, and you promise to love and cherish that person for the remainder of your life. sadly, these vows do not always last as the number of divorces across western civilisation can tell us. However despite this loss of meanign to the word ‘vows’ many continue to say it, and mean it, albeit at the time.

  10. He vows to not go against his word again. But isn’t that like a liar promising not to lie?

  11. I bet the vows are intricate, sweet, taken in long breaths and spoken with precision. I imagine they are written longhand, with a fountain pen, on acid-free paper, and when they are unrolled before the initiate, they almost strike the floor, causing those attending the ceremony to gasp, then laugh collectively, as though someone caught a plate midair.

  12. wedding vows, who can think of anything else. what is so special about writing your own? what is so binding about traditional vows? do any of them matter is the last time you think about them is at the altar?

  13. the things they say when getting married, the solemn promises filled with joy and pain or whatever type of seriousness need be to express devotion. a commitment of some kind. an oath. to swear to. something that binds you to whatever your vow may be about. an arrangement of words to express a sincere devotion.

  14. We made our vows we bent our heads the priest stood before you and I knelt solomnly together in front of what remained of our parents, and when I look at that photos taken of us, from behind, you in a suit me with ringlets and a lace on lace dress, I wonder how nuns feel.

  15. They said their vows in the square, on the steps of city hall. Some people stared but most looked on, oblivious or ignorant of the happiness radiating from the two people. It would not last no, but for the moment they were happy.

  16. I vowed to myself to be honest with me and with other people. Sometimes it is hard to do so. But it hurts inside if I see me breaking that vow.

  22. Hmmmm…….Vows, what does that mean? English is not my native language…. I think it means to promise todo/not to do something officially?

  23. oh shit. i dont really know if i want to get married. i mean, i do, but i really dont know if its ever going to happen to me. besides, those vows are cheesy and fake i feel like. or maybe i just cant relate. maybe i just cant believe them because i have never experienced their cause. i dont know, but that makes me feel jaded.

  26. It means something to everyone. Different each time. To some more than others. It’s something to think about, or just something to jot down. It’s something you say with feeling, or just say to get it over with.

  30. Remember “To be or not to be.. that is the question” ?…why do we have vows? to break them?to create them or just to wake from them?

  31. They wrote their own vows. This meant a little bit of unconventionality, and that “to have and to hold” were replaced, respectively, with “if she promises not to eat his books” and “if he promises to go anywhere she likes without asking questions”, but it was all good, because they were the ones who had to take them, an anyway. Nobody else much cared.

  32. Marriage is a silly thing, love doesn’t last and promises are made to be broken. An oath is something to be kept secret and safe, but secrets are hard to keep.

  33. vows…people vow to do many things. They vow to always love each other. That may not be the case all the time. My vows are now useless as I am divorced. He broke the vows first and I learned that sometimes you have to let go.

    by Peggy on 07.08.2009
  34. i make many vows daily. a vow of silence, a vow to stop eating as much ice cream as i do, a vow to stop bein so horrible to my sister.
    however, these “vows” never seem to actually get around to be completed.
    i make empty vows.

  35. My vows were my own. No one wrote them for me. It is the only kind worth making.

    by Dirk on 07.08.2009
  36. Incarcerated with my intention, I spoke to the silence, my voice reberating on the stone. He would never again see the light of dawn..

  37. What can the sky say to me that I haven’t already heard from you?

  38. There comes a time in every woman’s life when they dream of their wedding. Will I have the fancy dress? The big church, lots of presents? Where will I go on my honeymoon? Well…I got none of that. The only thing that closely resembled a real wedding was the vows. And I vowed not to let that happen the second time.

  39. Breakable, unbreakable.
    Break my bones love.
    I’ll break your bedposts, your dolls, your hopes, and your feet.
    But I won’t break your heart.
    Always been a fan of porcelain, you’ve got me babe.
    Just please don’t break me.

  40. Vows to what? I make a promise to myself, never fall, never cry, never run, let go. I promise myself this. Never fall… Who would I fall to, but a greater power? An evil? The enemy is evil. Know your enemy. But, as I’ve heard many time, I am my own greatest enemy. Know myself, Greenday preaches, over and over on repeat. Do I know myself? If not, I fear I’ll fall to the only greater power, the only greater enemy I’ve ever known.
