I was a guest at my first hetero Australian wedding last week, and for the first time, I heard the legal wedding vows.

For the first time, I heard the phrase "in Australian law, marriage is one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others” -

it was a nice wedding, truly, and I'm happy for the couple, but I wanted to be sick when I heard that line.

I don't think it's required to be honest. I've never heard it at a wedding before, and it certainly isn't going to be at mine!

It is required by law to say it mate. Have never been to a wedding where it hasn't been said

Really? Maybe it's because I go to mostly Jewish weddings?

I would have thought the law applied equally, are the civil and religious elements done separately?

Depends on the couple. It might just be read in Hebrew so I don't understand it lol
