O/T Did you say "obey"?
I am being totally nosey now and having just watched The Wedding (!) I was wondering whether I am the only one to have said "obey" during my vows? Kate obviously decided against saying obey whilst also having the ancient marriage service.
The meaning was explained to me by the person marrying us. To "obey" was not meant as in obeying a command but rather in the sense that the right hand "obeys" the left hand etc. For that reason I said obey and never regretted and nor did anyone question it.
Just wondering, for those that got married in church, did you say obey or did you leave it out?

None of my business what other people do, though!

I am always a little surprised at how controversial the idea is but then I am a bit old fashioned anyway.

OH and I have definitely morphed into 'old fashioned' roles since having Daniel, in that he earns most of the money and I do most of the childcare and household management. It wouldn't suit some people but it suits us! I think that's the key, isn't it, just finding what works for you as a couple!

I found it more strange that William didn't wear a ring.
It was weird William not having a ring but apparently he doesn't like wearing rings.
I agree that the vows are entirely personal to the couple saying them and that we all do whatever works. Luckily hubby hasn't decided to take a literal translation of the "obey" otherwise he would have got a swift thump!

As for the ring thing our vicar asked the same, the woman obeys the man gives gold were his words!
I thought the wedding was fab, I did a lot of lip reading that day!
