Loss of Vows or Loss of Memory?

Well, I have come to a sick and sad mental confrontation. I cannot, for the life of me, remember my wedding vows. Don't get me wrong, I follow them and will never leave my husband's side, however... I just cannot recall what those words were. Something about a candle and a path... um... lemme take a mental recall and that will make it easier to 'google' my wedding vows (how sad is that, that I have to 'GOOGLE' my wedding vows!?!?).

Candle... path... light... ring... corpse...

Yes, I said 'corpse'...

Wed... cup... wine...

Okay. It's coming back to me now.

"With this hand,
I will lift your sorrows.
Your cup will never empty,
For I will be your wine.
With this candle,
I will light your way in darkness.
With this ring,
I ask you to be mine."

"How on EARTH did you get 'corpse' from THAT!?" You ask as you scratch your head in an undefined manner, trying to understand how, exactly, my thought process works. First of all, good luck with trying to figure it out, I often have a hard time vizualizing it myself. Secondly, this is the wedding vows said in the movie "The Corpse Bride". I would have walked down the isle to the song "Victor's Piano Solo", however my parents caught wind of it and said they would call the wedding off if I tried it. My uncle (mother's brother) was the one performing the ceremony, and she threatened to tell him... which would have caused him to cancel his part in the wedding. Is my mother manipulative? Of course. Did I get to say my vows? Of course... we just didn't tell anybody that's where we got it from. We also lit candles that were said along with the vows, to be more like the movie.

I just spoke with my husband on the phone, and I asked him if he remembered our wedding vows. He remembered most of it, just not in the correct order. He also left out the word "corpse", which would make sense considering the word was never included. However, he remembered the line said immediately after...

"THIS BOY DOES NOT WISH TO BE MARRIED!!" And I could not help but laugh and think that maybe he was too young to be making deathly vows. Then again, who cares? He's trapped now for all eternity anyway.

Why am I bringing this up and writing this at a level at which I normally do not write? Simply because this is a mental conversation that happened to pour out of my fingers and all over my laptop. Now if you'll excuse me, I must tend to the part of our vows we left out; to watch "Thomas and His Friends" with my son.
