The origin of the wedding vows used in Anglican services can be traced back to the Middle Ages to the Book of Common Prayer, which was approved by Henry VIII. Henry's approval must raise some doubt about the integrity of the marriage vows as more than anyone in history he is infamous for flouting his vows. Thankfully, today a beheading is not the result of a wife's disobedience.

They are right, originally they come from the Bible. As for who wrote the ones you normally hear at almost every ceremony? Who really knows. The thing is, nowadays a lot of people write their own. As an independant woman, I have a problem with the obey part, if the guys aren't going to stick to the love, honor, cherishing, and faithfulness part. If you are looking for some that aren't routine, think of writing yours to her, and her writing hers to you. There are books also, with a variety of "out of the ordinary" ceremonies.
