Our Chosen Vows


I Steven, in the name of the spirit of God that resides within us all, take thee Norma Jean, to my hand, my heart, my spirit, to be my chosen one.

I promise to Love thee wholly and completely without restraint, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in poverty, in life and beyond.

I shall not seek to change thee in any way. I shall respect thee, thy beliefs, thy people, and thy ways, as I respect myself.

{Thus as of yesterday, after living together for a number of years, Gi Gi and I are now legal.} X.

  3. Thanks. I found part of this with a list of pagan vows. I removed some from the original version and added some of my own. Gi Gi liked it because the word 'obey' was not in it;^) So was I. My brother Guy and her sister Emma stood up with us. Guy is into the celtic pagan thing like me. He quoted a Scottish verse which was,"May the roof never fall in, May you never fall out." Which I liked. X.
