| Re: Marriage
I am quite keen on marriage really. I think I do have rather old fashioned views on relationships  like even though i'm not religious AT ALL, I want to get married in a church? Im nuts I know. I think marriage isn't right for everyone but I dunno, it'd be nice to be loved by someone enough that the way to express it is to declare to the world that you want to be together for ever and ever.

I'm constantly nagging to and arguing with people over marriage (evidently unsuccessfully... which is a bitter shame, what with me demonstrating the necessary qualities of wifehood). I really want to be a divorcee. Woman with a past, fantastic.

Also, I find it hard to understand how folk can get married after being together for such a short time. Bea and I have be together 6 years and I'm still learning stuff about her!
Fortunately it has all been good, but it could just as easily not have been that way! | |

I dunno - I think when you know, you know and sometimes it's worth taking the chance. But then this is coming from someone who has been divorced. | |

Been unofficially engaged once (at sixteen) and properly engaged once. The proper engagement came from my ex who I'd moved in with a fortnight after meeting him and a year and a half later the proposal came. Now I really don't know what I want anymore.

| Re: Marriage
I hate the idea of marriage, 'specially after my parents split up after 26 years of apparent happiness.
Though I'm pretty sure i'd be in it for the cake and dress. I'm a commitmentphobe as it is, the unnatural idea that humans are supposed to be with one person, and only one person for the rest of their life is absurd.
