I really love this one. The part about not sharing our personal quarrels with others is very meaningful.

I think this is a perfect vow. But this damn bride of mine wants to say it is not. I wish she would get her act together.....

LOVELY

I THINK THAT THESE VOWS ARE VERY TRADITIONAL AND I TAKE ALOT OF MEANING INTO THEM. I WILL BE GETTING RE-MARRIED NEXT YEAR AND THIS IS THE VOW I WOULD LOVE TO USE WITH MY HUSBAND.

Explanation

"Cannon" is a poetic version of "cannot", probably from a point in time when the English language was heavily influenced by French, such as during the Plantagenet monarchies. With "non" being French for "no", can-non becomes - more simply - "can no".

re cannon
Name: Kay	2007-08-04
It is not a typo...but-yes it does mean cannot. It's taken from traditional gaelic.

Soul based love

Beautiful, and meaningful. Being of Celtic descent myself, I honour these vows as they were intended, and see the stark beauty in the words of a proud Celt offering love and companionship to another.

A Writting error in the first Line .. What Is " You cannon possess me. That should be You cannot possess me for I belong to myself and in third line You cannot command me, for I am a free person

Used for our ceremony
Name: Amber	2009-06-18
We actually used this vow in our wedding ceremony this year. Many of our guest commented on how wonderful it was especially about it being a marriage of equals.

explanation and my few dislikes
Name: AzTrix	2010-01-18
Cannon means can not. It's old english. I don't like the beginning or the end but I do like the middle. The beginning and end just are not romantic. I plan to right my own but may base a few parts off the middle section.

This was our vows to each other
Name: Andrew Lindsay	2010-03-22
When we both found this we knew it was the right one. The Catholic priest who married us was very touched to hear these words and made sure the moment was perfect. It was quite funny to mention crying out names aloud in the night.

Question
Name: Megan	2010-03-27
Cannon = cannot

to Cheryl
Name: Cheyenne	2010-10-22
cannon, is like Irish for can not. but together. EX: willna, will not, dunno, do not, so on. the "t" is silent and not written.(i'm not sure how they write the do not,lol)

cannon is old Celt slang for can not

wonderful
Name: Raven	2011-07-10
A beautifull blessing that speaks of two people coming togther out of love and equality. One of the more meaningful peices that I have read as celtic desendant of the old ways.
