| For Better or For Worse or Until you are no longer a hottie | | "To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health."This is normally the common prayer said at weddings, but what does this really mean. Does it mean that I will no longer love you and be attracted to if you put on fifty lbs or if your hair all falls out.
