Many times in a hospital setting Hubby will be saying things about how I shouldn't be spending so much time next to him on a gurney etc., and I'll say, "Hey, I promised, sickness and health and all that. No wiggling out of it now."
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm with Windsparrow, pretty traditionalist on the vows.

Drive by to "help":
Here, I'll kick off the shoe shopping:
On Sale!
I remember silver & relatively low-heeled. Were there other requirements?
For dancing at the reception?
Love Betsey Johnson. I swear I'm tempted by these myself. (Or there's the silver glittery Bear Paw boots I picked up on Zulily last week - but that's a different style choice).

Ditto.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
We wrote our own vows, and to me that was very special. I can totally understand why people would feel equally strongly about keeping (or modifying as needed) the traditional vows, too. I remember doublechecking what I wrote against the traditional vows because I wanted to be sure I didn't leave out any of the important stuff: in sickness and in health, for better and for worse, etc. There's a good reason those are in there!

Tubular mascara might be the most cry-proof, I'm thinking. Blinc makes some but I think other brands do too now.

Compassionately intolerant
I've created a modified version of 'better or worse' that seems pretty popular.
Since the moment flies by, I always send the couple an electronic version of the vows to keep with their certificate.
I really like those on sale shoes, epic. The best of all the rest.

Bless Zappos for wedding (amongst other events) shoe buying!
Our vows barely had any vowing! They were mostly about why the other person was awesome plus pledging to have fun and take care of each other. They were totally perfect for us.

I wasn't sure about the strap across the toes, but I'm definitely fond of the jewel-y bits.

Which I think we can all agree is the best way to go.

Exactly, Epic!
