| These vows are being repectable of two different cultures and not insulting each other of their differences. |
| okay |

| It's okay just the "I'm not part of it" line doesn't sit well with me. |
| Wonderful |

I love it for myself and my husband to be. The biggest difference that I would like to change is "but I am not a part of it" to "but it is not mine."
It still shows that we have a different background, but still have the same future. |
| just one thing |

| It is very nice, just the part about " I am not a part of it" seems a little distasteful. |

| riiiight. If that's as good as you can come up with, you must not care much. |

| Get rid of the word "but". It's a celebration, not a differentiation. |
| Has potential Not too intimate |

The last two sentences sound upbeat and inspiring, although you trip a bit on the very last words. The "but I am not a part of it" in the beginning creates a psychological rift.
The overall effect,to me is that it is an instructional,defining boundaries for any relatives who are skeptical of the union. With a litte fine tuning it could fly.

| Nothing about it inspires me. It's not heart felt, warm or passionate. Just very clinical & dull. |
| its perfect... |

| it's perfect. that's exactly what comes from the heart and willing to accept your partner and his family. |
| Decent idea |

The idea is good, the wording not as great... better?
Our marriage is a new creation, founded on the respect and admiration we have for each other's background and traditions. I promise to always respect your values, heritage, and individuality that has made you the person I fell in love with. |
| Great direction |

| With the right personalization, it is great! I would skip the part about respect, but I like the part about living in different worlds as children, good for a toast, as well! |
| Great |

| I find this great, except for the "I'm not part of it" phrase. It knocks out idea of bridges inherent in this vow, therefore, demolishing the whole spirit of it! I would say, "and it is partly mine" - because in accepting your partner, an interaction or process of adoption or meeting point has taken place. |
