307 Entries for “vows”

  1. I made vows to a church I didn’t believe in, and ran away screaming. I vowed to always stay true to myself and ended up betraying my very soul. vows should be thrown away. You can’t make a promise on a future you cannot see.

  2. Vows are promises that are especially more important and unbreakable. Promises are for children. Vows are for the people who live in the real world.

  3. Wedding vows, June is the month for weddings, love, honor, obey, until death do us part, sickness and health, richer or poorer, do people really think this through before they do it?

    Religious vows, they seem to make surer that you know what you are doing in this case. I really respect my monk and nun friends who have taken lifelong religious vows, to devote their life in covenent with God, wherever that may take them. Some in monastary, some in the world.

    What do I vow to do? Barely get through the days, much less have some sort of daily discipline. Oh, well. for today I have done the Word.

  4. vows of dark thoughts lay in wait for those who gnash their teeth at the fall of man but they can never truly free those who believe in the truth.

  5. vows are like promises: once you make them, you must keep them. a great man once said that if you make promises, you create hope, but if you keep promises, it creates trust. which is better for you? trust or hope? it’s the same way with vows.

  6. Marriage vows. How I can never marry the guy I want (like I really know this young, but whatever) because that one time he made a mistake, and now I’m in love with someone I can’t trust. And how I found that used condom in his garbage last night and I haven’t been at his place since we got back from our two month trip, and I know he’s messy, but he must have changed the trash before then, so what the hell is going on? Not again. I make vows for relationships, I guess.

  7. Repeat your vows to yourself. Repeat them and visualize where you were when you made them. Re-look the person in the eye, even in your imagination. Tell them your vow.

  8. vows, so when you get married you say stuff to your loved one. Most of it is bullshit. You probably mean it at the time, but you’ll get rid of most of those promises once a few years past, you have some little shits for kids and she stops giving you head.

  9. Went to a wedding this weekend and the pair stood in front of the congregation and said vows that no one else could hear, but I thought to myself that it was okay…vows need only be heard by the people getting married, they’re not for us, until our time comes.

  12. I made vows once. They turned out to be a lie. Not on my part, but the other’s. And yet, the end of the vows may well be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

  16. The day they made their vows, it poured from the heavens in grey, fourty-pound sheets of rain. She pretended that she liked the weather, but while her sister secured her veil, she admitted that it had to be a bad omen.

  17. vows. they are mostly lies told by one person to another in the hopes that they won’t have to die alone. they think maybe if i promise to care for this person my whole life and vice versa i won’t have to deal with actually looking within myself to see if i’m ready to actually act on them.

  21. I used to have vows.

    No longer.

    My friend robin told me about a really good story one time that him and his Dad always used to tell to his brother.

    I didn’t fully understand the story, but to him and his Dad, it was their life.

    I grew up listening to the story, and always asked about it, why they always told it, but it was always a secret.

  22. i said my vows for the first time to a rubber chicken in the state of new york in 1902, it was a good day for me and everyone invloved as we all ate a massive turnip. Then we went to cambodia in a space ship made of cheese and onion crisps.

  23. to be truthful, to swear to that person, and let them know completely what you feel, it may not always be in words, but also in action. To make a promise, and hold your word to someone, regardless of what they have asked. Vows are promises, the promises we make to build the foundations of who we are.

    Sera
  24. Promises.

  27. On my wedding day we took vows. Our vows were to be true to one another. The vows were said aloud to everyone. At the church our vows were repeated on the stage. vows are an important part of wedding ceremony. The committment to love another is always in vows. Vows can written by each other or vows can be repeated after the minister. Vows are to be honored and respected.

  28. vows of love. I am too empty to hold to anything. vows of death that never rang true. Vows to leave that I could never ever let go through. I’ll keep you warm, but only you.

  29. People promise each other things that they cannot possibly fulfill. It goes round in a spiral that seems to never end, and try as we might to renew vows that may or may not have actual meaning, somehow we come full circle to broken promises.

    Anjali Alm-Basu
  30. wedding vows have always been something that me and my anti-establishment teenage friends spat upon but really we know that we’re gonna find someone and live happily ever after, even if we do just get married in jeans and a t-shirt, holding some measly flowers.

  31. vows …. wow…made without time spent contemplating the meaning….do they have meaning to the one vowing…

  32. I believe that vows are an important thing in life. We must have some way of conveying our commitments to ourselves and to others, and vows are the surest way of doing this. Unfortunately, a wedding vow is only as trustworthy as the people behind it. People that cannot stand by their word, their vows, are no more worth the paper that the vows are printed on.

  34. Peter was a cat. He never thought that there was any chance he would ever fall in love, because, well, he was a cat and a completely domesticated one at that…

    He met Sprinkles, the tabby, on a cruise ship, traveling San Juan for a sojourn in St. Lucia. Sprinkles was domesticated as well. Their owners didn’t take well to parting ways with their treasures for the duration of the trip.

    Peter and Sprinkles had met in the animal holding area (animals are not normally allowed to stay in the cabins). Peter, intoxicated by the pheromones that Sprinkles released, mixed with the salty sea air was unable to suppress his insatiable desire.

    Failing in their purpose, Peter bust through the bars of the cage (an incredible feat for a cat). Running on a high, Peter stalked the scent trail. He moved through the tight corridors, jumped higher than he had ever done before onto different railings and he even outran a furious dog who had become loose.

    Naturally, when he made his way to Sprinkles’ cage, drunk on the beautiful aroma, he was unable to speak (partially because cats have poor verbal skills). But lest would he let this defeat him.

    – He stroked his fine mane with his tail.
    – He flexed his strong back muscles up as he walked.
    – He flaunted his mighty jaw, with a beautiful display of masculinity.
    – And purr he did, better than ever in his life (he purred like a conga drum, like a lion).

    Peter felt like a man. And when the display was concluded, sure that Sprinkles would be hypnotized, Peter clicked the button and opened her cage door.

    Sprinkles was in love. It was love at first sight. For Peter it was love at first shag. He thought how much he felt human to have this conclusion.

    They strode the ship for the duration of the trip, together. Managing to keep away from the hundreds of ship hands and dancing girls and drink serving Mexicans. They ate the finest foods that were dropped on the floor by the buffet goers. They drank beer, Sprinkles loved beer, so Peter stole her as much as she wanted.

    As they days concluded and concluded, Peter realized that it would not be so sublime forever. He offered to Sprinkles that at port they could escape together, exchange vows and live forever together in the paradise they were destined. Sprinkles said, “no.” Like so many women before, she had a change of heart.

    Peter the cat liked many things: catnip, the carpeted version of the Taj Mahal that his owner got him for his birthday (which was very shortly after the cruise, this brightened his outlook), and of course the affection of his owner (although he never cared to show it beack, like every other cheeky domesticated cat).

    He thought long and hard about his journey, and concluded this, which he though very mature:

    Love comes in many different shapes and forms. And according to Fate, he was correct in thinking that he would never fall in love. It was just not in his cards.

    *—*

    Tarnished by the tragedy of his experience, he avowed to never love again, never to try again. He lived a lonely cat, just as so many others would.

  38. the vows of life and death are as sacred as divinity. I vow to reach the vows of existence, this will be my promise or vow to myself. There isn’t anything as strong as a vow with your soul. Aa eternal link.

  39. a promise and given the circumstance which marriage has become it is a very important promise. it also seems to be used in life or death situations in action movies.

  40. marriage is the kind of ceremony where vows are exchanged. Can be from the bible or made up by each person. Vows are like a promise to the other stating what they intend to do during the marriage to make it work.
