Stupid registrar refused my vows for ring exchange

Martyne, 21 June, 2010 at 15:24 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi,

Registrar has just called me to say i cant have the vows I had picked from a website for civil cermeony vows! for the ring exchange.

She said i coudlnt have anythgn thats mentioned in a church wedding, like love, better or worse or anythign like that.

How can I have vows that dont containt he word love - its a wedding for gods sake.

What are you guys having

Martyne xx

    Really? That sounds mad! Our vow pack had options that we could choose from - but the ones we went for were pretty traditional. I've got the pack at home, but I'll look it up when I get back. I thought it was just god that you didn't have. One of the options definitely had love in, cos I remember it was "wear it with a sense of love and pride"

    What!?! I haven't gotten that far yet, but I can imagine I may be very rude to our registrar if they say we can't have the word love. Seriously, what the hell! That's what the entire wedding thing is about, love...

    I hope she realises she's being a div, calls you and apologises!

    I think I'd be phoning her back and asking her to suggest vows! If she's telling you what all you can't have, she must have some samples of what she does allow.

    Or, is there any possibility you could go with another registrar? To suggest having vows without love is ridiculous!

    I can do, but as someone suggested you might be better off giving them a call - maybe ask if they have set vows to choose from. These things seem to vary between different offices and even different registrars as to how strict they are.

    I'd see what their suggestions are & clarify what the limitations are on what you can suggest. Like someone said, different offices seems to have different interpretations of the rules. Given that this is the part of the wedding that you absolutely have to have for it to be a wedding I guess you'll have to suck it up really.

    Had you written your own vows??

    I don't understand why they would refuse the vows that came in the pack?? :/
