Alternative Wedding Vows or Readings: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Edition

Let me tell you, one of the hardest things about planning my own wedding was trying to write the wedding ceremony. I was not a fan of the traditional vows (I obey no one but myself thankyouverymuch) and really wanted to find something that reflected our concept of what we wanted our relationship to be. If you're in the same boat but looking for alternative vows – well, here ya go! Some wedding vows courtesy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!

"The time is always right to do what is right."

Arrows

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us."

Arrows

"I have decided to stick with love."

Arrows

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Arrows

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Arrows

"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend."

Arrows
