Who knew that writing a wedding ceremony would be this time-consuming?

It IS my first one and the faire's first one and it is a lot of fun. But dayum, it's taking time to do!

Yes, I have lots of resource material from which to draw. Yes, I could just do an outline and wing it. But I donwanna.

I want this one to be right.

"Do you promise to clean the cat box on time?"

Yes, the Cardinal Sinnius Vice used that line at our wedding... But it was the third time that year, so we were being silly. :)

OH, that's hilarious!

I just hope Bruce doesn't see this; he'll insist that we put it into our ceremony!

*hee*

We got married three times that year, once on paper for the official stuff (by a discordian monk in the universal life church), then we bought the house and got married at the house (that time by his aunt, a methodist minister), then we got married the third time at faire just for shits and giggles... Hubby didn't want to go through planning ANOTHER wedding, so I sprang it on him, sneak attack, after one of our sets. The Cardinal was using all kinds of vows that were just having us giggle... "do you promise to love him so long as he continues to titilate you?" "Do you promise to say "yes dear" when she gets pissy?"

I have to find those vows... the only one I ever remember off the top of my head is the litterbox one... :)

Aha! From my email archives:

"Do you, master larkin, take mistress bowman to
be your lawfully wedded wife, to do her laundry,
to mow her lawn, to try not to be cranky boy, and
to clean the cat boxes on time as long as you both shall
live?"

"And do you, mistress bowman, take master larkin
to be your lawfully wedded husband, to deal with
cranky boy at traffic lights, to drive him home
from scotch tasting parties, and to be his
fiddler as long as he continues to titilate you?"
