Brides Reveal Wedding Traditions That Haven’t Stood the Test of Time

Honor and Obey? Not For Me!

Imgur

“My answer will be short because the one prohibition for my wedding was in the vows. I ensured that the phrase “to love, honor and OBEY” were not uttered. I know me – somewhat of a traditionalist – but only when a role is CHOSEN, not assigned because of gender. I didn’t feel it necessary to promise to do something that I would never do – on principle alone!

Approaching 20 years, my husband sometimes still teases me if we have a disagreement and I’ve dug my feet in on the issue. He’ll say “hey, weren’t you supposed to love, honor and OBEY?! … oh yeah, you did say you wouldn’t “obey,” didn’t you!” (He thinks he’s being funny!)” Story credit: Quora / Shelia Gulledge
