A viral social media video captures the moment an African American bride elected not to recite part of her wedding vows.
The pastor read the vows to the lady phrase after phrase, but when it came to the section about her obeying her spouse in the marriage, she stayed silent.
She agreed to remain with him in sickness and in health, but when the pastor said, “To love, cherish, and obey,” she refused to repeat the part about obeying.
The bride then jokingly asked the pastor whether they had discussed it during couple’s therapy, but the clergyman swiftly responded that they had.
He asked her if they he should repeat that line or if they should continue without it and she opted for moving on instead of back.
