Ahhhh, but I don't agree with that at all... not even close.
As I mentioned before, Erin and I explicitly excluded the phrase "till death do us part" from our wedding vows.
Please don't project traditional marriage vows onto us because we didn't make such vows. Otherwise it looks like you're trying to rewrite our personal history to fit your assumptions.
