"You may want to consider what your guests' reactions will be when selecting your vows."
I'm sorry, but as strange as the vows in the story were, in my personal opinion, I do have to disagree with the above quote from the article. The vows are between the bride and groom. To heck with the guests' reactions. If they don't like the vows, they don't have to use them at their own weddings. My sister and brother in law are both pastors, and they custom-write every ceremony for their couples. It goes without saying that what the couples say to each other is very truly special and important to them. So what if the guests think it's weird for couples to vow not to get mad if the husband watches football on Sundays before taking out the trash. It means something to the couple.

Sure it only matters that the vows mean something to the couple. But in the case of the two in the story, the vows do not reflect their relationship at all, and all the guests knew that -- which led to audible and disruptive reactions from the peanut gallery. Not a great wedding memory.
