  1. Unlike the other versions, this one spells out exactly what's expected of each party. I recall this traditional version was common until recently. Then couples began to write their own vows, no-fault divorce, palimony, pre-nups, and other celebrity garbage muddied the waters. Marriage is the ultimate commitment to another, and if one can't stomach #4, you aren't ready. (It's OK if you aren't, there are too many folk who took their vows lightly, or in vain.) This from a quite single fellow who wonders if MSO will contact me, and when. =:P
    Which version of these are you referring to? I specifically typed out four different versions. By the way, in these marriage vows, how would you explain the difference between "I Do", and "I Will"? Is one active, and the other passive? Which one is which?

    One thing that has always confused me about marriage vows is the part about what the officiant says to the couple about to be married. My confusion comes from the fact that there are so many different versions of the, what's that called again, the, consent. Or is that the question of intent? Some say that some versions are more "Passive" than others. Look at the following examples, and tell me if you agree. Here, I'll use mine and my boyfriend's names as an example.

    Version 1.

    Officiant says to John: Do you, John, take Annabelle to be your lawfully wedded wife?

    John Answers: I Do.

    Officiant says to Annabelle: Do you, Annabelle, take John to be your lawfully wedded husband?

    Annabelle Answers: I Do.

    Version 2.

    Officiant Says to John: John, Do you take Annabelle to be your Wife? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her?

    John Answers: I do.

    Officiant Says to Annabelle: Annabelle, Do you take John to be your Husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him?

    Annabelle Answers: I do.

    Version 3.

    Officiant says to John: John, will you take Annabelle as your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in love and marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health? And, forsaking all others, be faithful only unto her, until death do you part?

    John Answers: I Will.

    Officiant says to Annabelle: Annabelle, will you take John as your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in love and marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health? And, forsaking all others, be faithful only unto him, until death do you part?

    Annabelle Answers: I Will.

    Version 4.

    Officiant says to John: John, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep

    her in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?

    John Ansers: I will.

    Officiant says to Annabelle: Annabelle, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou obey him, and serve him, love, honor and keep him in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?

    Annabelle Ansers: I will.

  3. There's this song by Sting that I've been listening to for the past few days, and I was listening very carefully to the lyrics. The song is "Children's Crusade", which is taken from "The Dream Of The Blue Turtles".I have a few questions about this song, and I was wondering if you have the answers for me.

    1. What is (was) the Children's Crusade? Was it a Peace March in England during World War I?

    2. What is the Flower Of England? Does it refer to a flower? A Queen? A Princess?

    3. How can a flower be slaughtered?

    Hi there, all you Fellow Songfacts Members.

    I was wondering, where can I find a live solo recording of James Taylor's song "Little More Time With You"? I'm specifically looking for the version that he sang when he appeared on VH1's Storytellers. Is it available on any of his albums or videos? If so, where can I find it? Is there a downloadable version that someone can post on YouSendIt for me? I would kindly appreciate it.

  5. We've had a lot of requests to make our categories (songs writen by Bob Dylan, songs with food in the title, etc.) available in a central location. Since these links are generated by queries - the database looks to see what other songs are tagged the same way - this wasn't so easy. We called in the developers and they are going to rebuild the engine so we can get these links to behave. My thought is to create a page with a bunch of sections like "Title Quirks," "Songwriter" and "About," then put links to any appropriate categories under each one. If you guys have suggestions for how we should implement this, please post.

    I have a suggestion for the groups of categories. how about this. "Title Querks", "Featuring", "Songwriter", "About", "Used In", "Written For", "Inspired By". Also, do you know of an approximate date when this will be applicable? I've been checking the songfacts home page periodically, and the "Browse By Category" feature is still not there.

  6. Hello there, all you fellow Songfacts Members.

    There's this song that struck me as funny when I heard it in Baltimore on WWMX, Mix 106.5. It happened to be on an episode of the Doctor Dimento Show. I can't remember what episode it was, but the song was "Who Farted" by Uncle Tone. I tried to download it from SpiralFrog, but unfortunately, from what I've read on their website, they won't let you burn music onto a CD. I was wondering, if anyone has this song, could you please post it on YouSendIt for me? I would kindly appreciate it.

  7. Hi there, all you fellow Songfacts Members.

    I was wondering, does anyone have any downloadable versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner"? There are two specific versions that I'm looking for. I'm looking for the version sung by Cher. And I'm also looking for the version sung by Faith Hill. Were these ever released as studio recordings? Or were they just recordings from the Super Bowl Games? If anybody has these two versions, would you please be so kind as to post them on YouSendIt for me? I would kindly appreciate it.
