Not even death do us part

婚姻誓詞聽過不少，大同小異，自己當主角那時也沒有用心記著一字一句，因為我從來都知道也相信用每一日的生活去履行比背誦一段文字更實在，也自負地認為我一定做得到。

無論是順境逆境貧富貴殘健康疾病，都永守在一起直至死亡將二人分開。那是說一方病倒了另一半要不離不棄扶持下去，還是一方病了不要藏起來要給機會讓另一方照料?

***

I promise to love you as you are, and not to try to change you. You are the person I want you to be, and the one with whom I want to be.

I eagerly anticipate getting to know the person you will become as we go through life together and fall in love a little more every day.

I promise to love you without reservation, and give you comfort when you need comfort, and space when you need space.

I vow to encourage you to achieve all of your goals, to hold you close as we laugh and as we cry, to grow with you in mind and spirit, to always be open and honest with you, and to cherish you through whatever life may bring us. Our future lies in the path we have chosen together.

I promise to work by your side to create a life that we can cherish, inspiring your love for me and mine for you, and to grow old by your side as your love and your best friend.

那是在網上找來的 vow，知易行難。

我只知道，for better or for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and health, till death do us part 有點不準。

Not even death do us part.
