Another old fashioned statement that you don’t have to worry about anymore in wedding ceremonies is the word “obey” appearing in the vows anywhere. I will often joke with the bride and groom that I only put obey in HIS vows. This sets the bride and groom at ease and assures them that the crazy vow doesn’t appear in my “traditional” vows.
It is pretty rare, nowadays, for a traditional couple to ask for “obey” in only the bride’s vows. I will do it if both agree to it. No problem.
As an interesting sideline I have had a few couples who want the word “obey” in BOTH their vows as they promise to obey each other. That is a cool idea as far as I am concerned.
