However, let’s talk first talk about the Pledge. It is when
the couple will make declarations of their intentions to the gathering or
witnesses. It is detailed HERE. These
“pledge” words are demanded in the civil part of the marriage ceremony.
They actually make the marriage act legal.
Legality of Marriage
Before the commencement of the S. African Matrimonial Property Act
in 1984, there were only two options in which a male and a female could be
married: marriage in community of property and marriage out of community of
property. After this date, another system was introduced to out of
community of property marriages. Each state in the USA has something
similar. Before the marriage the parties must decide on a couple of
issues. Do you want to be married in or out of community of property.
(Most USA states don't give an option) It's an important decision,
since it cannot be done after the marriage without approaching the High Court.
Now let’s take a look at vows . . .
The Rufus and Rita vows:
Rufus: “I, Rufus, take you,
Rita, to be my wife, my partner in life roller coaster, and my one everlasting
love. I will cherish our friendship and love you this day, any and all other
days, and until the moment I die. I will always giggle with you and only
certain occasions at you. When I do chuckle at you, if it is among others, I
will do my best to manifest the illusion that it is with you – not at you.
“I promise to be there with you through the toughest of the trials in our life and to shed tears with you. These moments do not include things like YouTube footage of soldiers being reunited with their youngsters. You’re letting the tears flow on your own with those.
“I vow to love you through the difficult and the painless. I promise to seldom put you or me in danger. This means that I will never come between you and your reflection in a mirror. I will also never force you to eat hot, spicy food with me as I did on one of our first dates. I later found out that you were biting your cheeks the whole night.
“What I admire most about you is your determination. But stamping your feet when you don’t get your way is no longer cute after age nine. Seriously, you need to stop that behavior.
“I look forward to being a married man and starting a new episode in my life. First, I will no longer refer to it as ‘my life event,’ but ‘ours.’ I look forward to being the best father I can be and helping you to be the best mother.
“This is my solemn vow to you today as I make you my wife.”

Rita: “Rufus, you make loving so wonderfully easy. First, you’re the best roomie I’ve ever had. Living in fun-times, sin, without our parents’ knowledge or blessing, was totally worth it. I know now you are able to deal with my annoying habits. And I’ve come to the realization that you have very few. You pick up my half-empty, dirty coffee cups that I leave around the house, you make me Eggs Benedict for breakfast on the weekends, and you always know where I left my cell phone and keys are when I go into full panic mode and scream that someone stole them.
“With you I have learned to take it slow and easy, although I could have imagined getting to this altar a little faster. When we met, all I felt was that you made me laugh hysterically and you had a dorky, precious look, which I thought was hot. Time has allowed me to see your true colors. You’re loving, sensitive, kind, generous, an insomniac, and a lover of daily man baths and Doberman dogs.
“I promise with all my heart to love you when times are good and bad. When you’re sore and irritable on Monday from sitting the same position all day during Sunday football, when men hit on you as you walk my Bichon Frise, and when you need someone to depend on when work gets tough, I will always be your chickadee.
“When I’m frightened, you make me feel safe. When I’m upset, you make me smile. There has been no day where we haven’t laughed together. I don’t ever want there to be one.
“I take you to be my husband, the father of my little rascals, and best, understanding friend until death do us part. Just stay away from home for one week per month!”
Traditional version: Here, the
groom takes the bride's right hand with his right, solid hand, and says, after
the Minister:
I, _______, take you _______, to be my wedded wife; And I do promise and covenant; before God and these witnesses; to be your loving and faithful husband; in plenty and in want; in joy and in sorrow; in sickness and in health; as long as we both shall live.
Then the bride takes the groom's right hand with her right, loving hand, and says likewise after the Minister:
I, _______, take you, _______, to be my wedded husband; and I do promise and covenant; before God and these witnesses; to be your loving and faithful wife; in plenty and in want; in joy and in sorrow; in sickness and in health; as long as we both shall live.
Obey? Submit? It means if a women is blessed to have a husband that puts God first, she should in turn respect his (her husbands) opinions, even if she might not agree with him at the present time. Like if they have a difference of opinion she would accept his 'last say' on the matter and do as he say's. When a man puts God first they cannot go wrong.
Oh yes, that’s right we have to read the whole scripture to get the
entire concept. The husband is responsible for his wife as God is responsible
for the Church. It is not a 'one-sided' thing. The husband has to prove
himself worthy of the wife's submission or obeyance. The husband must have God
as his leader. That's why so many brides and grooms are choosing to write their own vows and modernize the pledge!
