I take thee to be my wife, to have and to hold:

1. As often as possible (….please!).
2. Even though you'll look like your mother in 10 years.
3. Even though you'll complain about my mother's mission in life which is to make you miserable.
4. Even though you'll nag, nag, nag, nag, nag….nag!
5. Even though you seem to have done everything very strangely in your family.
6. Even though you'll rearrange my entire wardrobe, throw out all my decent clothes and buy me garish Ties forever more.
7. Even though your poor organisation skills mean that you can barely cope with a job, cooking, cleaning, looking after our 2.4 children and ensuring that my dinner is served hot at the table daily.
8. Even though you complain about the seventeen of us living in a two-bedroom maisonette.
9. Even though you don't seem to understand that putting up a few shelves was not part of my engineering degree syllabus.
10. Even though you don't understand that I think Valentine's Day, Birthdays and Anniversaries are all "retail marketing ploys for the weak-minded".
