"And so we make that choice every day, every fight, every disappointment, to keep our promise to be loyal and forgiving, to be a couple that lasts. We remember those words we exchanged, clutching each other's hands, in front of God and family and friends. A wedding is not a theatrical performance: it's the real thing, an adult decision that is supposed to determine the direction and integrity of the rest of our lives."
- Iris Krasnow ('I Do' Means 'I Will," Not 'I May'")

After coming across this article via a blogger on my Google Reader, this quote caught my eye. I love Iris's take on vows, especially in a world filled with sham marriages and fake commitments. These are definitely worthy words to live by.
