America must be in decline!! how about you & your partner do what you feel best expresses your commitment to each other? umm, no one is looking for the approval of one Lisa M. on how silly or not their wedding vows look. besides a traditional marriage can be portrayed as just as silly as the examples you have given above. for example, in many Jewish weddings the groom will stomp on a glass afterwards — lol! isn’t that so funny!!! man people are so weird!!
