This website has been a lifesaver in so many ways. I've been getting uber stressed about this vows thing -- I mean, I have trouble committing to anything and it just didn't feel right to me getting up and saying, "i promise blah i promise blah i promise promise promise…" I was like, how can I say those things? we are human! We are all hopelessly flawed. I LOVE the "realistic" vows from Lomo and I'll be stealing that idea!! Thank you for helping to take the pressure of perfection off!
