| This is the worst one I have read... I Claim you... that sounds like he or she owns you ... the wording is SO WRONG. |
| rip off |

| Name: anna | 2005-09-28 |
This "I claim you" vow came straight out of Christine Feehan's romance novels. Check them out for yourself: Dark Guardian
Dark Prince
Dark Magic
Dark Gold...... they all have this. What a rip off, and how cheesy!!! |

| This vow is terrible, it sounds like your signing some sort of purchase contract. |
| Could be viewed differently |
|---|
| Name: Loretta | 2006-12-04 |
| My partner and I often joke about when we are married how we will 'own' the other. I could change the word 'claim' to 'own' to individualise our vows in adding some humor to them, as we both intend to add a little humor to our vows. |
| Horrible yet funny |

| Name: Gloria | 2007-06-21 |
| Wow, I didn't know that wedding vows could be bother frighteningly creepy and hilarious, until reading this little ditty. uck! |
| stunning |
|---|
| Name: peggy | 2007-08-29 |
| these vows are very stunning and memrable. they are given by a man and women who truly understand the strong bound between man and women the way it should be. given so freely and so compleately that no other can ever touch and that is owning and loving. |
| Perfect.. |

| Name: Abigail | 2007-06-20 |
| I like it quite a bit also, for the same reasons as Chase. I might alter it to fit into that a bit more.. but.. this is great! |
| all of life |

| this sounds to me to be a Dom to sub relation ship and in that relation ship you do own the other they are taboo but still excist unless you ahve been there dont say its wrong |
| I like them |
|---|
| Name: Maya | 2011-05-06 |
| I like them. For someone who is in an alternative lifestyle, they are wonderful. I used something similar in my own wedding. |
| Cool |
|---|
| Name: Angel | 2007-03-22 |
| This is exactly what I was looking for. When I read them, I fell in love with those words. They have special meaning because they basically say that the reason why you are marrying this person, is because you cherish them just a little more than yourself, and that you hold them in high regard. That you love them just as much or maybe more than yourself. That to me, means something. |
| terrible |

| Name: tammy | 2007-08-15 |
| it just dont sound like something that you would have at a wedding its really bad and it does have some controlling words in it. |
| Beautiful |

| Name: crystal loveless | 2007-05-01 |
| This is one of the best today I admire that you feel like that about someone was a sweet thing |
| Perfect |

| Name: Chase | 2007-05-08 |
| I am a sub and i am marrying my lover , friend and Dom this is perfect for us because he does own me and i am happy to give all i have to him |
| I Plagiarized You |
|---|
| Name: Holly | 2011-06-11 |
| That is what the title should be, as it was taken from the Dark series books from Christine Feehan, like Anna said. |
| I like it |
|---|
| Name: Rhiannon | 2007-05-15 |
| See, I liked this one. I did recognize it as coming out of Christine Feehan's books, but I don't think it sounds like a business contract. Besides, doesn't it basically say the same thing some modern vows do? "All that I am and all that I have are yours..." Anyway, I like this one. |
| You Ck |

| Name: Lee | 2011-06-16 |
I would be horrified if anyone said these words to me in front of my friends and family.
I'm not a piece of lost property! I don't need to be "claimed" |
| I am guessing this is a tribute to Christine Feehan |
|---|
| Name: Manda | 2007-07-10 |
Many people write Christine Feehan and ask if they can use these words in there Wedding as it is mostly from her books, almost word for word. If you read her you would understand how stong and loving it truly is...not anything other than that. She has had hundereds of people ask her to use this and she always looks at it as a compliment. I just thought people would like to know how she stands on this. Thank you for your time.
Best,
Manda R. Clarke

| I claim my wife |

| Name: Jeff | 2007-06-28 |
| These other reviewers are just obviously ones with drama. I am claiming my wife and she is claiming me. We like that fact. Jesus, get over your drama. |
| This is PERFECT |
|---|
| Name: Abra | 2007-09-29 |
| I've been looking for vows just like this forever. We're going to use them in our ceremony. Thank you! |
| It is romantic. |
|---|
| Name: Leatrice | 2007-11-04 |
I quite like the intensity of claiming love. It is like the couple's feelings are so strong that they demand the right to meld and merge together for all eternity; it's much better than an "until death" vow.
FYI---A vow is stronger than a purchase contract. |
| Very Good |
|---|
| Name: Shawnta | 2008-01-19 |
I can understand why some do not get this, mostly because they do not know where it is coming from. They need to catch up on thier Bible to understand it. For those who would like to;
To Claim is to make it so. When you claim something it make it so in God's eyes.
LEARN WHAT YOUR READING BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!!!!!!!! |
| To each their own |

| Name: Sallysue | 2008-02-14 |
I really do think that everyone will view this differently because we are all entitled to our own opinions. So to me I believe these to be great vows due to the simple fact that my fiance tells me constantly that he loves me with all of his heart body and soul.
Thanks, Sally |
| Wow... |

| Name: Nothing | 2008-03-10 |
Bound to me for all eternity? Whoa! Why does that sound crazy? We'll be bound for our earthly life, but after that, who knows?
It was hard enough to get past "I claim you..." I almost fell out of my chair... |

| Not so much for a traditional wedding, but great for alternative Lifestylers. |
| perfect |

| Name: Kelly | 2008-04-02 |
| First and formost the rest of you who don't like this are obviously not big readers. It's a great tribute to the love and emotions that Christine Feehan write about. This vow is perfect! It's beautiful and talks about a love that most people don't understand and don't feel. My fiance and I have our rings engraved with "For all eternity" so to have these vows saying it as well just makes it even better. I truly love this saying. It is also a woman saying she is claiming a man so it's not just about the man claiming the woman. Jesus people! |
| thats about right. |
|---|
| Name: ashley | 2008-05-14 |
| this about describs what a marige is, its claiming each other to let no other have him or her, you people are just stuck up, you dont get it, thats what it is really about. so if u cant say nothin nice dont say any thing at all.I win!!! so ya hell ya i would use this, power to the people that agree with me. I win again!!! |
| It fits |
|---|
| Name: Sammi | 2008-06-14 |
I'd have to say that these are actually some of the more powerful vows that I've ever seen. Saying "I do" isn't a partial committment. It's kind of one of those all or nothing things in life. It shouldn't be taken lightly and honestly when you say you want to be with someone and no one else for the rest of your life and you want them to be with you and no one else... yeah... you're kinda staking a claim there. I think that's the way it should be. The man that I'm going to marry ... he's "my love" and I tell people that I'm his.
All or nothing both ways. |
| Thank you |

| Name: Janine | 2008-08-10 |
| My best friend has used that for her vows and I have been seriously thinking of it too. Yes this is the vow used in Christine Feehan's romance novels, but if you've read her novels then you would know the love behind those words. |
| yuck |

| love it |

| Name: amy | 2008-11-03 |
| i love these and have wanted to use them since i first read the books anna is talking about |
| Wonderful |
|---|
| Name: Rachel | 2008-12-28 |
| I absolutely love it. I love the possessive quality, even if everyone else hates it and even if it is from a book. There's a level of love that transcends anything that can be put into words. Great. |
| Not that bad |
|---|
| Name: Angela | 2009-01-03 |
| I didn't see anything wrong with "I claim you". When you get married you are "claimed". |
| Sweet |
|---|
| Name: Nadine | 2009-02-19 |
| I think this is very sweet and I like it a lot. Why post negative comments on something related to love nonetheless? |
| passionate |
|---|
| Name: eliza | 2009-03-29 |
| I like these. People think of their life in different ways, and "claiming someone as your own" is both a very old tradition, and a new way to express passion. |
| cheap |
|---|
| Name: April | 2009-04-23 |
| it's like you say it then i will say it.. i need something from the heart, something moving and something with love and meaning... this vow is cheap and not what i am looking for |
| what if.. |
|---|
| Name: Tara | 2009-05-11 |
| what of everyone took there marriage vows so serious.. bet there would be alot less divorce's...seems like everyone is afraid to love and give them selfs to the one that love's them...what a shame. |
| Cool |
|---|
| Name: Sara | 2011-04-02 |
| I like the strength of 'I claim you'. Said the right way, it's an expression of love, commitment, and desire. |
| Like it |

| Name: Bloodstone | 2009-06-06 |
| I actually kind of like this vow. Then again, I am all about Christine Feehan's novels. |
| EEEWW |
|---|
| Name: Amanda | 2009-10-09 |
| So LAME! Seriously. Those books are raunchy. Why would you want to shape you wedding after them?? If you were a stupid vampire maybe this would be ok. Only a weirdo would want to read this at their wedding. |
| Sorry girls |
|---|
| Name: Russell | 2010-01-04 |
| I am sorry girls but in the past the man's wife was considered his property. So claiming his bride was litterally owning her. Now if you want to go even more old school then the marrage was a "contract" inbeteen families. Sorry ladies, it is only in the past 140 years that you have risen from being considered property to equals in the marrage. |

| I think these vows are perfect in marriage you belong to each other and this illustrates that. |
| Wow |
|---|
| Name: Katie | 2010-04-05 |
| This is not good at all and needs to be deleted... too standard. too stupid. Doesn't sound like something to say at a wedding. |
| Well |
|---|
| Name: chat | 2010-09-05 |
| It may not be perfect for everyone, but for a couple like my fiancee and I who are major fans of the book and met through our common interest in the series, it makes sense. |
| heres a better vow |
|---|
| Name: Amber | 2010-09-10 |
| I love you with all my being, I want to be with you forever. my heart, my soul, my life, and myself i give to you. I will love you 'till the end of time and beyond. |

| Straight out of a romance novel. But I do love it though. |
| Beautiful |

| Name: Kitty | 2010-11-27 |
| This i do NOT believe to be the worst... with the background I come from this to me sounds amazing because the "I Claim you" is as a life mate. The wording is not wrong those who say it is are taking it out of context. It should be followed with a kiss under the moonlight... naturally. |
| We love this |
|---|
| Name: Deb | 2011-03-20 |
| We love this vow and are going to use it, though we might change a couple of the words. When you get married, you do give up a little piece of your individuality in favour of the richness of the partnership, you do claim each other in a very real sense. The power of love in this vow is tangible. BTW, anyone who does not understand that marriage is a contract has never been divorced! |
| nice |

| Name: thecountess | 2012-01-10 |
| i like these vows. me and my man have an understanding between each other. we were made for eachother. and there is no way now that either of us could be with anyone else...alive. we own eachother. and thats that. |

Excellent read. I just passed this onto a buddy who was doing some research on that. He just bought me lunch as I found it for him! So let me rephrase: Thanx for lunch!

| I will be using this vow at my wedding, for nothing makes me happier than to claim him and for him to claim me, before God and all else. |
