Marriage - Page 4

I'd love to get married, though of course it depends on finding the right person. Timescale doesn't bother me, as soon as I've found the right person, am certain enough about that, and it becomes practical then I'll go for it.

Wait. Have you seen what people get to wear? And that's regular everyday straight-laced folks.

I think I am pretty old fashioned when it comes to relationships and, yeah, I would heavy want to get married, but University and getting myself sorted comes first.

I defo want to get married and fire out some babies. In 10 years I want to be done with both, ideally.

I'll show my age by saying this but I met my wife at a rave 17 years ago, we lived together for 5 of them and have been married for 11 years. don't know what the formula for a happy marriage is though, our relationship is quite passionate, I've learned to duck a lot of flying crockery and glassware.

I never want to get married. What's the point in spending ten grand on what is essentially the world's most boring party/excuse for your family to fight with one another, and theres a 50% chance its going to end in divorce? Besides, co-habitants have almost all the same legal benefits and securities as married couples now, so there really is no need, IMO.

Having babies can get to fuck as well. I'm not spending an extra god knows how long in education to have a kick ass career to ruin it all with what would probably be an accident from a shitty sympathy fuck. And I like being slim and having furniture with sharp edges. Kids make me sick and pregnant women (no offence) are fucking hideous to look at (and make me physically sick).

I'm happy having a "seriously casual" (or should that be casually serious?) relationship with someone who feels exactly the same way as me. I doubt I'll ever be mature or unselfish enough to change my mind.

Your opinion is your own affair, etc etc, but dahling: Only boring people throw boring parties. You know that.

Marriage and Weddings are two different things.

aye but there's no way of jazzing up what the registrar/religous person says so it could be the best party in the world but the ceremony is a buzz kill that hangs over the rest of the proceedings like a fart in a fish tank.

And every wedding i've been to has been boring, possibly due to my extraordinarily boring step family or maybe down to my complete lack of interest.

Sure there is, as long as you’re not the religious type. A humanist wedding is legal in Scotland. The ceremony can take any form you like.

Made me laugh. One of the lesser self-consciously politically correct opinion recently expressed.

Really?

Read my post, I note that both marriage and weddings are pointless, from an entertainment perspective, practical perspecitve and legal perspective.

My wedding will be based on Carmen Electra & Dave Navarro's, right down to the MTV film crew.

Largest of Gregs · 15th May 2008, 2:49pm

a wedding with a registrar only takes 15 minutes

I did my wedding for less than half of that btw, you only spend as much as you want to. Admittedly that meant a hell of a lot of extra work for us but we just didn't have £10k lying about.
