The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), gotta love 'em.

This was the headline when I logged on this morning-

"Wife confesses in murder plot - Melissa Blankinship once pledged to love her husband for rest of her life."

Urrr - duh - isn't that what the marriage vow is supposed to be all about?  Pledging to love someone for the rest of your life?

I was laughing so hard I didn't even bother to read the rest of the article.

Woo hoo! I fixed your italics for you. Yeah....I did a mod thing!

Of course...john got to lock the first post...bastard.

You're right, that is what she should have said and as for vows? Puhleeze....in today's american society most couples go into their first marriage not even thinking about vows. Okay...half of the people going into their first marriage....

I wrote my own ceremony. All the words that the minister said came from me, not him. I chose exactly what I wanted for my marriage to my husband. I know that I plan on honoring my vows because I made them personal. The problem now is that people just go in and say I do and they're done. They kiss and then it's off to the big party. I sometimes wonder if they even realize what they just did or if they're just hungry and wanting to drink and party.

Have you noticed that with people and weddings? It's like if nobody has a really good party for awhile, the couple in the group decides to get married for an excuse to throw one and be the guests of honor. Stupid idiots. I wonder if that's why they have babies, too.

"Hm, I haven't had a chance to hang out with the girls for awhile. I wonder what I should do...Ooooo! baby shower!"

haha, if it takes a marriage for me to throw a party, i'll do it.  or rather if it takes me a huge party to get married, i'll do that too.

I think it's to get money and gifts.  Plus, many in our society are so wrapped up in themselves that their thoughts range around "what can other people do for me".
