I Do - Ai-Ki-Do

I suppose the matrimonial pledge - If that's what i is called in English (You know the: Do you so-and-so, take so-and-so for your lawfully wed wife/husband ...; you will have to excuse my limited English and matrimonial experience here :) - was open to be answered with aikido, rather than I do?

Anyways - if you're about to do something as scary as getting married, why not do it on the mat? Didn't know they had shoulder throws in aikido though.

Story:
Some people throw rice at weddings. Barbara Stanton, 48, threw her groom over her shoulder and slammed him down. Hard.

Unfazed, Jonathan Klopp, 53, jumped up and flipped his black-belt bride onto her back.

That display of holy acrimony went over well with the wedding guests - so well that about 50 of them rushed the mats of a Federal Hill martial arts studio yesterday and had themselves a celebratory brawl.
