Dr. Seuss Vows

[HisMuse]

We're seriously considering this although we'd have to write up a separate part for me (the bride) and I'd have to see if the officiant would even do it. I mentioned it to my MOH and she thought it would be very us. I think it's cute.

Will you answer me right now
These questions, as your wedding vow?

Will you take her as your wife?
Will you love her all your life?

Will you have, and also hold
Just as you have at this time told?

Will you love through good and bad?
Whether you're happy or sad?

Will you love her if you're rich?
Or if you're poor, and in a ditch?

Will you love her when you're fit,
And also when you're feeling sick?

Will you love with all your heart?
Will you love till death you part?

Yes, if you'll love her through and through,
Please answer with these words:

I DO!

You're married now! So kiss the bride,
But please, do keep it dignified

[BrideInCuffs21]

Oh my goodness, those are soo adorable... sweet...

[bichonlvr]

LOVE IT!!!!

we were going to do it, but FH said not everything has to be funny Megan...I say DUH do you know me at all LMAO!!!!!

[HisMuse]

LOVE IT!!!!

I know, I certainly don't want everyone laughing but if we do a few of the lines I thought it would be cute. Also, Erik is a big Dr. Seuss fan...I swear he's about 5 years old. I think there will be giggles :frogg:

[exoduslaughin]

That is so cute! I love it!

No see I agree with you I think it will be great!!!!!!

Sometimes vows get soo boring and lame...you have to do what is the most like you guys!!!

I just want to do the whole...

Looking at the bride...."do you?"
Bride,"yeah."
Looking at the groom..."do you?"
Groom, "yeah."

great kiss the bride! HEE HEE!!!

[HisMuse]

I know...you understand me. We're 2 big sappy goofballs.

[SouthernQueenBride]

Hahaha!!! Sooo funny! I would LOVE to go to a wedding where this was the attitude. I think it is fun and still sweet!
Young at heart ... I love it!

[WebLady]

hehe - cute; but I could see the officiate getting tongue tied ;)

[HisMuse]

hehe - cute; but I could see the officiate getting tongue tied ;)

I know, I would have to check with her first.

[bichonlvr]

DO IT DO IT and then put it on your blog so I can see it :)

[HisMuse]

DO IT DO IT and then put it on your blog so I can see it :)

I'm trying to figure out how to change the part about wife so I could say it but nothing rhymes with husband.

[Danielle9608]

awww this is so cute!

[EmsMommy07]

I'm trying to figure out how to change the part about wife so I could say it but nothing rhymes with husband.

You can do something like this:

"Will you vow to be his wife?
Will you love him all your life?"

That would be easier than to find something that rhymes with husband.

BTW, I love this idea. I am a huge Dr. Seuss fan!

[WBandMe]

So cute! And I like ems' changing of the words.

That would work for sure...thanks!

[crazydaizychiki]

I love it! sooo sooo sooo cute

[sjk1431]

That is so cute I love it.

[EarlyBird]

hehe i loved this- read it to my parents and my mom loved it- said it was a little lengthy though- i dditn agree-- then my mom was telling fmil and she acted ok with it but called fh asap :)

[Measha]

Awesome! I'm a writer, I do a lot of children's stuff hehe. As well as a major in Elementary Education so I think this is way too adorable! I'm not sure if it'd fit with the overall theme of our wedding but it's so tempting ! Adorable!

[HisMuse]

If my MIL heard about this ahead of time she'd be so against it, she's strange like that. She worries so much about what others will think. Hell this is a woman who when I told her I didn't want to have children she asked what I'd do with my life...

[RevMatty]

Will you vow to take this man,
will you love him till he kicks the can.


Great idea, I love it. And if your officiant wont do it, slap them for me. You got a fellow officiants permission.

Thanks! lol!

We're actually considering using our friend as an officiant, a guy who was initially going to be a groomsman. He is a really cool guy and I think could bring a lot of fun to the ceremony. We're thinking about it right now.

I love those!! That would make doing this untradiationally rather easy!!

[woohoo2me]

I love it! i was looking for something cute and funny for our vows lol this might be it!!:D

[woohoo2me]

where did you find these vows?

[HisMuse]

where did you find these vows?

I think on about.com.

[StarCoveter]

I think that this is SO cute! We don't want to do the traditional vows either, but we haven't figured out what we actually want to do.

[HisMuse]

There are so many options, you'll find something.

[Nekochanpurr]

Thats so cute!! i'd love to see it!

[Measha]

I found a more "full" version that made me giggle. It shows the groom's responses and how they play off the pastor:

Pastor: Will you take her as your wife?
Will you love her all your life?

Groom: Yes, I take her as my wife,
Yes, I'll love her all my life.

Pastor: Will you have, and also hold
Just as you have at this time told?

Groom: Yes, I will have, and I will hold,
Just as I have at this time told,
Yes, I will love her all my life
As I now take her as my wife.

Pastor: Will you love through good and bad?
Whether you're happy or sad?

Groom: Yes, I'll love through good and bad,
Whether we're happy or sad,
Yes, I will have and I will hold
Just as I have already told,
Yes, I will love her all my life,
Yes, I will take her as my wife!

Pastor: Will you love her if you're rich?
Or if you're poor, and in a ditch?

Groom: Yes, I'll love her if we're rich,
And I will love her in a ditch,
I'll love her through good times and bad,
Whether we are happy or sad,
Yes, I will have, and I will hold
(I could have sworn this has been told!)
I promise to love all my life
This woman, as my lawful wife!

Pastor: Will you love her when you're fit,
And also when you're feeling sick?

Groom: Yes, I'll love her when we're fit,
And when we're hurt, and when we're sick,
And I will love her when we're rich
And I will love her in a ditch
And I will love through good and bad,
And I will love when glad or sad,
And I will have, and I will hold
Ten years from now a thousandfold,
Yes, I will love for my whole life
This lovely woman as my wife!

Pastor: Will you love with all your heart?
Will you love till death you part?

Groom: Yes, I'll love with all my heart
From now until death do us part,
And I will love her when we're rich,
And when we're broke and in a ditch,
And when we're fit, and when we're sick,
(Oh, CAN'T we get this finished quick?)
And I will love through good and bad,
And I will love when glad or sad,
And I will have, and I will hold,
And if I might now be so bold,
I'll love her my entire life,
Yes, I WILL take her as my wife!

Pastor: Then if you'll take her as your wife,
And if you'll love her all your life,
And if you'll have, and if you'll hold,
From now until the stars grow cold,
And if you'll love through good and bad,
And whether you're happy or sad,
And love in sickness, and in health,
And when you're poor, and when in wealth,
And if you'll love with all your heart,
From now until death do you part,
Yes, if you'll love her through and through,
Please answer with these words:

Pastor and Groom: I DO!

Pastor: You're married now! So kiss the bride,
But please, do keep it dignified.

On another note, I was browsing some sites on unique vows, or writing your own and saw this:


Don't get too personal

Keep in mind that exchanging wedding vows is as serious as it is meaningful. Your goal should not be to make your vows sound cute or amusing. Also, avoid suggestive language or phrasing

Pffff...:P

[HisMuse]

I cut down the original because it's just way too long IMO. We're going to have a mixture of romantic, serious and goofy in our ceremony.

[Measha]

I thought it was very cute though :)! Worth sharing at least, hehe.

[LILBOBO1980]

I think it is a very cute and fun idea!!! :heart:

[HisMuse]

It's not too long is it? I am not sure anymore if I still want to do our own part to each other.

PS. Does anyone know if you are supposed to have the officiant at the rehearsal dinner?

[Diamend]

I love this!!!! It is kinda long with the responses... should the officiant say it all and then groom say I do... or I will....whatever.... that is what we did!

These are tooo cute!

And yes, officiant should be at the rehearsal dinner.

[HisMuse]

I don't know, maybe we can cut it down somehow. I don't know, will have to think about it. It does feel a bit too long though.

[EightEightEight]

What a great fun idea. It does seem a bit long to both do it with the responses. Have you timed how long it will take? If so, try to imagine being a guest listening...does it seem long from that perspective?...and if so at what point? Just a thought.

[Amanda&Jason]

I think it is a very cute idea.

[MrsDM]

That is so cute! It would definately keep people interested!

[HisMuse]

Yeah we've decided she'll just read the whole part and we'll say I DO at the end.

[NOTKT]

I really wish we could do this! It's so cute, but my family would kill me!

[HisMuse]

I really wish we could do this! It's so cute, but my family would kill me!

We aren't telling anyone, they'd be against it. But screw them, it suits us too well not to do it. We like to have fun and be goofy.

[Measha]

Hmm I was looking at this again and this is what I came up with:

Pastor: Will you take her as your wife?
Will you love her all your life?
Will you take him by the hand?
And make a husband of this man?
Will you have, and also hold
Just as you have at this time told?


Will you love through good and bad?
Whether you're happy or sad?
Will you love each other if you're rich?
Or if you're poor, and in a ditch?

Will you love each other when you're fit,
And also when you're feeling sick?
Will you love with all your heart?
Will you love till death you part?

(Both Nod)

Then if you'll take her as your wife,
And if you'll love each other all your life,
And if you'll take him by the hand,
And make a husband of this man,
And if you'll have, and if you'll hold,
From now until the stars grow cold,
And if you'll love through good and bad,
And whether you're happy or sad,
And love in sickness, and in health,
And when you're poor, and when in wealth,
And if you'll love with all your heart,
From now until death do you part,
Yes, if you'll love each other through and through,
Please answer with these words:

Pastor, Groom and Bride: I DO!

Pastor: You're married now! So kiss the bride,
But please, do keep it dignified.

Now to sell Jon on the idea haha!

[HisMuse]

I love that, I nearly cried. I love it! Although we're doing the end with

You’re married now so you can kiss
But please make sure you do not miss!

[Measha]

Hehe, cute!

Also :o he actually likes the idea! Initially when I mentioned Seuss vows he was like "oh ya whatever stupid" but he finally read them and now is all excited, it's so cute! Just have to be sure my friend that's going to be our officiant doesn't get tongue tied haha!

I'd also like to keep it a surprise but we'll see how well I keep my mouth shut!

[HisMuse]

Yeah, I ended up telling some of my bridal party but that's it, I've kept this pretty quiet mostly because I don't want anyone to give me funny looks and bum me out.
