Well, depends on the people, and the vows. I think most people just don't think about what they're really saying, or what "vows" mean. They just repeat after the priest or whatever, because "that's what people do."
We wrote our own vows because we wanted them to actually mean something, not just be something we regurgitated from an old book. Nothing against ritual, but we wanted to make it *our* ritual, even if that meant excluding the words "forever," "till death," etc.
