“I Am So Not Charmed By the YouTube Wedding Dance Sensation,” harps on that crazy wedding procession you have probably seen, and then in my favorite part extrapolates to writing your own vows:
For my own wedding, I no more want to write my own vows than I would want the president to write his own oath of office. To do so saps the words of meaning, of that sublime feeling you get saying something you never thought you’d say to that person you most want to say it to. Vows are meant not to be a reflection of a couple’s individual love, but an intonation of a promise made countless times before. That is their power.
