I'm getting married at the end of September and due to (unsurprisingly) the division of church and state when it comes to civil marriages it turns out you can't use the 'richer for poorer...bla bla' vows in a civil ceremony - this is what the registrar has told us anyway. Is the registrar just being a unimaginative meany or are the wedding police going to parachute into my ceremony at the slightest mention of 'in sickness and in health?'
I think those vows are simple and pretty and I would like to adapt them to suit a civil service and remove the 'god' references to keep the registrar happy...
Thoughts on other vows very welcome though!

AIBU?
To think that you should be able to use the old CofE vows (without the God bits) in a civil wedding ceremony? Ideas on vows VERY welcome.
