In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, or as I prefer to call it, ST. PATRICK’S MONTH, I came across some Celtic wedding vows that really moved me. The French are often seen as the romantic ones, but wait: nothing tops this.
To my husband: May you never steal, lie, or cheat, but if you must steal, then steal away my sorrow. And if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life. And if you must cheat, then please cheat death, because I couldn't live a day without you.
To my wife: I vow you the first cut of my meat, the first sip of my wine. From this day, I shall only cry out your name in the night and smile into your eyes each morning. I shall be a shield for your back as you are for mine.
Ah, the Irish — known for their romantic ways!
